    True, you're not changing coolant like your oil. Main thing is to check it periodically, no matter what.

    That's the gas-confibulator.

    Wut? I honestly see no purpose to it. Its attached to nothing and just makes a pumping sound if you tune the throttle

    You've never heard of a gas-confibulator?

    You can pick them up at just about any autoparts store, right next to the blinker fluid.

    I'll take a look at my 3.4 when I get off work...but it doesn't look like something I remember seeing in there. I reverse-image searched it on Google and all it came up with was "Engine" lol.

    Took the turd in Tuesday to get the AC checked.

    I’m up to 470 and it still isn’t fixed. They say it needs a pressure switch which will be another 800 in parts and labor. Maybe 22 years is just too old of a truck.

    Holy hell dude.

    May I suggest another mechanic? Sounds like they're just throwing parts at it and seeing how much you'll pay for.

    Oh I know that guy, I sold him my old front differential that ended up having the wrong gearing for me. He drove like three or four hours to come pick it up.

    I actually have a nice set of Icon 2.5” front coilovers and rear shocks I’m putting in. I just had them rebuilt at Rock-n-Road outside Sacramento. New oil, and seal kit replacing the original seven year old ones. Attached to those will be a set of SPC Upper Control Arms.

    I have AllPro Standard leafs for the rear lift, only thing I still need are some U-Bolts and Greasable Shackles.

    After. I need a baseline to compare to before I put it all on.

    We need to plan a trip somewhere.

    No no, that’s not the gas-confibulator. That’s the retro-encabulator.
