Compressor, accumulator/receiver/drier, condenser, flushed all the lines. Whatever that stuff is, it was throughout the entire system. There's some type of a desiccant bag in the drier...Bud thinks that may be where it came from, but it's still a mystery. The system had no leaks.

Yep...in fact, they'll probably be doing my ball joints before too long.

Thank God. About time Bud Selig showed a little *****. Maybe now they'll finally be forced to sell the team.

Are you saying that you are replacing the condenser coil?

If so, I think I may have a use for your old one.

What'll you take for it?

It's already been replaced

Everything in the system was badly contaminated. I left it with Bud. I did keep the old belt tensioner as a spare, since it turned out to be in decent shape.

I had a 79 GMC Jimmy with A/C. The dessicant bag broke and sent it's contents throughout the system. It never did cool right after that. I hope you have better luck. As for my GMC, it just rusted away and I scrapped it.

All the more reasons to not have A/C...

N. Illinois. As long as the Jimmy heater worked all was fine!

I wish I had that garage behind the garage in CA. You can barely see the Excursion front bumper in the front garage. Had a 6' deep pit under the Jimmy, cool for oil changes.

I thought all those sheets of ply were just there to catch the oil coming off of the GMC!

That would be a nice set up to have, for sure.

For those of you my age, TQ died early this morning in Las Vegas. You'll know who that is if you grew up in the L.A. area.

2 weeks of rubbing on Fluocinonide cream takes care of the issue. All I have to do is look at this plant in the woods and I'm scratchin' in 3-5 days.

There's gonna be some ticked off Blue hairs over that decision.

I guess General Hospital's going to be the only game in town now.
