The hinges are solid billet... plenty strong enough!

I don't think he's going to have time to work on your 62 . That 71 blazer is going to take up alot of his time . Why don't you work on your blazer so you can get it ready for Ca.

Man that SUCKS!!!!

I'm on my 3rd defective evaporater on my daily driver.

It's starting to get hot quick here in Arkansas too.

67Fleet · 05-02-2007, 09:49 PM

looks like test-fit placement of the original "mock-up" hood hinges...... hehehe.

That sucks though, there's always gotta be more bumps in the long road to that light at the end of the tunnel.

onetonk5 · 05-02-2007, 10:35 PM

Is that the S&P a/c stuff?

*72CSTC5* · 05-02-2007, 10:46 PM

Wild I have never seen one do that. There is no trace of oil leaking out of there either. Seems odd what ever made it do that. Usually you would have a wet spot where all of the PAG oil leaked out.

Thank goodness, it didn't look cheap to me at all. Make sure there is no blockage in the expansion valve before you all recharge the system again. Maybe there was some shavings from the manufacturer in the lines that caused a blockage and increased pressure in that area? Just a thought, or weak spot in the aluminum.

pissonNOS · 05-02-2007, 11:20 PM

awesome job on the blazer I guess I should check out the blazer section more often

Where did the compressor mounts come from?

Street and Performance.

On the A/C condensor... we've never seen one blow like this either. We also run an automotive repair shop... that's how Porterbuilt got started. We specialize in A/C (I think every shop in Phoenix claims to

) and this is a first. I charged it up yesterday and the pressures looked normal, and it was cooling great. Fired it up for Kyle today, blowing ice cold, it ran for maybe 3 minutes and BOOM! I figured it was a hose... not a hole the size of a golfball in the expensive, polished condensor.

Typically when the head pressure spikes to the point of something rupturing it's a hose or evaporator. When the new condensor gets in, the entire system will be inspected... again!

Looks right at home, just not the right home

So did the A/C get fixed? Was it just a fluke or what?

Never mind I see the A/C is not back in yet

Wow, that truck is incredible. Those guys do really nice work. Hope you work all the bugs out soon... wierd on the condensor letting go

babyblueoval · 05-07-2007, 07:40 AM

Kyle,

In the pics where your truck is aired up, is that ride height or is that aired all the way up? I'd guess it's ride height but just wanted to clarify.

IT LOOKS SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!

gringoloco · 09-29-2007, 06:22 PM

Hey Kyle, is this pic full lift? Or somewhere close to ride height? This is without drop spindles, right? Just curious, I may be doing something similar soon...

babyblueoval · 09-29-2007, 08:19 PM

Chris,

Kyle will probably chime in but I remember asking him the same question and that pic is aired all the way up, or close to it, so ride height will be lower. His is a 4x4 frame so it does not have dropped spindles.
