    AC Compressor Not Pulling Freon

    Don't want to beat a dead horse to death, but often times a thread sounds like just what your problem is and then you never see what happened, what the solution was, well this won't be that thread, I won't let it. So with the system reading 25 PSI on the low side and 25 PSI on the high side...

    AC Compressor Not Pulling Freon

    Huh? I hope you are mistaken, LOL, and no you don't sound condescending you are just trying to help and I appreciate that, but first of all you don't put pressure in the system with a vacuum you remove it at least that's how my brain understands it.

    AC Compressor Not Pulling Freon

    first I tried the trick of shortening the low pressure clutch cycling switch (well technically the plug that goes to it) that did get the compressor clutch to engage and stay engaged but that did not suck in any more freon from the cans then I replaced the low pressure clutch cycling switch...

    Sloppy Steering

    Sorry I heard what I wanted to hear "ball joints, and possibly control arm bushings". Back in June of 2006 one of my upper control arms popped out of the bushing and when we raised the vehicle was dangling in the wind, the steering was not effected in any way, smooth as silk, however every time...

    Does dual exhaust hurt low end torque?

    Honestly no, our Tahoe is more of the family car, (yeah, yeah my balls are in the wife's purse, I know) but I had a nice custom non Flowmaster non Magnaflow on my Blazer. The muffler shop I took it to said $500 bones and we will take care of you, I have no idea what they put on there but it...
