AC Problems
I noticed my AC acting little weird. I checked and I was 2 cans low. Added those everything seemed to be fine. In the last few days it seems it take a while for the compressor to kick on.Someone was telling me about about replacing a relay on the compressor...any thoughts? If anyone has the part number that would be awesome.

One way to check the compressor is to remove the orifice tube and check the screen in it. If it has small metal filings in it that tells you the Compressor is a bout to croak.
If the orifice tube only has a little sediment in it and no metal (Fine metal) filings, just replace the tube then fill it up again.
The only way to check the tube is to remove the 134A.
It's kinda worth it to check because if you do find the screen is filled (one one end Mostly) with the metal filings it's time to install a new Compressor.
Go to Rockauto dot com to check all the parts in the AC system, it will show you 10 different orifice tubes etc.
But if you want to buy the parts, Ed the parts guy gent here would love your business.

ps. I just use rockauto for the great reference and to get part numbers.
