I guess they tossed a crack rock to someone to fix it! Tough to get good 'Crack' help!

At least they didn't try to fix it with black RTV like everything else

No leak, compressor is fine

drained and put in new oil and freon for $150 (includes labor)

 

[drew02a]

So I was thinking about the CEL some more, and remembered that I stuck a K&N filter in the air box yesterday right before Christa left the house and the CEL came on. Might just have to clean the MAF.

Oh yeah, and the AC runs great now.

Good news on the A/C, glad the compressor was sound because that woulda been $$$

Hope you get those lockers man!

I don't think he needs lockers since it locks front and rear when in 4low.

Its still got open diffs front and rear. The only different lock on that thing is in the transfer case.

Parts for the Part Time 4wd Conversion came today

So is that just a spool that replaces what I assume to be an open diff in the t-case.

It's not really a spool. It replaces the "rear output" half of the carrier. So the front just spins freely until the diff lock is engaged

Thats a cool piece of kit. I had never seen that until you posted the link

BTW here is my buddy Chris's LX
