Okay..........Mail man brought me the last item (this time around) I was waiting on.......showed up in a discreet little brown box........


This is the item that's going to suck what money that is left in my wallet right out , like a vacuum on 220volts........faster than a speeding bullet, as devastating as a tornado in a trailer park.....it doesn't care about our feelings......


The Ultra-gage......

You didn't waste a second letting everybody know, you excited or WHAT?

The guy who I purchased it from suggested it was the idler pulley, like a FOOL I replaced it.......it's the AC compressor......works great, sounds horrible....so I went used.....I'm a cheap date.


Excited? Not really.............it just dictates more money, I'm actually frustrated......I'm more of a gas, spark, GO kinda guy!

Stole a few minutes for myself and swapped out my old AC compressor for that other old, new to me, AC compressor in much better condition........


Right here I'll just say......easiest chore I have done to date to this thing, no surprises or over engineered components....

WOW.....What a difference with a properly functioning rear bearing in that thing.....this is the first time I've ever heard the motor, just the motor....it's very quiet, should have done this sooner.....now I can hear my exhaust leaks!!


Small steps, rehabilitation doesn't happen over night.
