    Lmfao! Normally I wear long pants when working on the truck. (now I remember why). But it was hot as fuck today, so I wore shorts. I think my wife was going to have a heart attack from laughing at that shit.

    Changed my oil today and also finally did the rear diff breather mod. I ended up getting a weird filter for it that wouldn’t fit in the filler neck area so I ended up running it all the way to the engine bay :anonymous:

    Reserected from the dead.
    If there was no refrigerant present previously, the pump won't turn on because the low pressure switch prevents the clutch from ingauging the pump. There was no load on the belt.

    Now that the pump is also turning, there is resistance on the belt. If it's not tight, it will sqeal when the pump clutch locks up.

    Base layers are nce but no where as warm as leggings. When i tell you we practice and race in anything i mean anything. One time i ran a race when it was raining like monsoon hard and the whole dirt feild we ran across was just like a foot deep of just water and mud
