Gary Lewis Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 No, he is now in Martinsburg with his 3 rescue pit bulls. Thought he’d changed jobs and moved. As have our kids, so we no longer go to that part of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 He did. he is no longer with LKQ, he is IT manager for Olympus Foreign Parts. I think that was a good move. I've heard that there's a good future in IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdude747 Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 Looks like a winner to me, but I'm certainly no expert on A/C compressors. Found a winner: https://www.ebay.com/itm/164486828751?epid=1627627901&hash=item264c2dd2cf:g:AHMAAOSwd7RfoEtl Buying it. Can't beat an NOS OE Reman...

Can't beat an NOS OE Reman... That's great! And it is a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpin Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 They do absorb moisture. However, it's slow... since the system still has some charge at all, it's still "dry". For the amount of time it'd be open for replacing the compressor (which is on the other side of the system), when I vacuum it down it'll pull the moisture out. Just leave it under vacuum for longer... that's how commercial driers are refurbished, actually. Just rereading this. I like to pull vacuum for a long time. I think it’s beneficial for the long run.

Yep. I usually keep the pump on for 30mins on a new drier, or 60 if reusuing a used one that hadn't been exposed. Now to get some PAG oil... my bottle ran out. I think I ran PAG100 last time? edit- no, should have been PAG 46, which is specified for both the FS6 and FS10 (what my rangers use, and what I originally bought my bottle of oil for).
