So I had the A/C checked on the 6.0 yesterday and he said he couldn't find any leaks but when he tried to fill it the pressures got extremely high so we figured that the condenser was plugged with dirt and debris which probably caused the high pressure relief to go off explaining the loss of freon. So I took it home and went to check for that and found two big chunks of carpeting zip tied in behind the condenser. I am guessing as a winter front but that was letting no air pass through there. haha Took that out of there and I bet the pressures will come way down now!

Thanks Troy and Jay! With my sequence number it'll be a few months before I get it, but it's quite a thing to get selected. Lots of folks retire at the rank I'm currently at.

Congratulations Tom! Now you can start truck shopping

Good morning everybody.

Those weeds don't stand a chance now Corey.

Congrats Tom. I'd be happy to retire at any rank.

Congrats Tom!

Sounds like you got a nice easy fix on the truck Troy and hopefully get it sold soon. Seems like the previous owner doesn't know much about vehicle maint. and probably got to 199K with hardly any money spent maint. (right MN Jim, LOL)

I plan to add another nozzle on the sprayer in the middle to get better coverage but then I will be killing some weeds for sure!

It will be up for sale once I get the title back. Hopefully that doesn't take too long. Yeah I don't think maint was his strong suit. Oh well I will get it all fixed up and hopefully make some money.
