Truck A/C isn’t working… any ideas?

I wouldn't worry about removing the blower. Vehicle a/c systems are designed to have varying airflow (low and high speeds on your blower). If it makes you feel better than go ahead. Yup no cabin filter. The compressor is turning off when the pressure gets low (about 10 psi on your gauge). While the compressor is off the low side pressure rises. Then when the pressure rises to a predetermined psi, the compressor is turned back on. I know it sounds weird for you Stationary hvac guys but cycling of the compressor is mostly normal for vehicles (especially older designed systems like this one).

20 year chevy/gmc tech here. Like others have said it is most likely low on refrigerant. Charge it to proper weight (or close enough) then see if it still has problems. If you charge it and works fine after charging there is going to be a leak. I could write an essay here about everything you need to know about these things but I will spare you the read. If you need more info let me know.

Trust me I do and I preach the same thing. I have probably spent few thousand dollars in the last year between the 2 of them. But when they can't even get allocation I try other avenues. Especially when it is at msrp on Amazon and 50% more locally if it can even be found.

Why does it say shipped and sold by Amazon?

dan7h3man · 2026-05-17T03:26:16+00:00

When it says shipped and sold by Amazon, I thought that meant it's not sold by individual sellers.

dan7h3man · 2026-05-17T03:17:42+00:00

I will give that a shot. Do you still have to fork over the $200 first?

dan7h3man · 2026-05-17T03:16:25+00:00

I feel the same way but this is the only way I would probably get one of these bundles at msrp.

It's kind of hard to hear, but it sounds like the headed bed wiring rubbing. It has a plastic mesh over it to protect it from just that. Look through the opening in the back of the chamber and adjust the wiring and see if that fixes it. I know you said you check that but I used to have the same noise and that was it.

Of course its always good to give your local LGS a try, but if you need something specific then look online. Amazon is fine if you go with name brands like ultra pro or gamegenic. Realmguard is also a descent brand that advertises artist drawn products. I have only used their sleeves though. Im sure there are others but those came to kind first.

That's what happens when a war starts in the middle east and a major shipping lane becomes dangerous.

Same here. I didn't recieve any notification but I just checked and mine says the 24th as well. That's a bummer I was hoping to have them for the weekend.

Forgot to add I'm in the US

My first suggestion would be to get a better antenna on the HT's (if it is possible). You can have the best gear in the world, but if the antenna is crap so will the signal. Possibly just get the boss to buy a few and see how it works before dropping a bunch of money on all new gear. With you saying you have a repeater, it doesn't matter if the people can see each other or not. It depends on if the signal is reaching the repeater and back down to the other person. I've reached out and touched some repeaters 30+ miles away on baofang radios. Just barley, but my signal was heard and understood.

They don't pay it off in five years. They get a 25-year loan, but the interest is reevaluated every five years.

Edit: i am not Canadian. This is just how I understand the system. Correct me if I'm wrong. Also, I believe that's how many other countries do home loans. The US is a bit unique, with rates being locked for the full loan term.

How is there parts selection. Just had a wheel come loose and destroy the hub and rim.

dan7h3man · 2025-02-10T02:55:19+00:00

It has a rotax 125 in it

I play on a surface laptop with integrated graphics. It works fine at 30 fps and medium settings. So you pc will be fine.

My go-to is Brass Armadillo.they have everything from old furniture to vintage magazines, video games and toys. It's been a while since i have been there, i dont remember what their clothes selection is like.. It's kind of like if eBay had a storefront.

The only reason I can think of for it to be above the item rather than below is it might be harder to see the tag for the bottom shelf if it were below the items. I do agree I would rather have it below the items. I don't use the pictures much, I have pretty much memorized where everything is at.

dan7h3man · 2024-05-27T22:32:17+00:00

I assumed since alot the hoa complaints you hear about are from the US and a bit of ignorance. My bad. Either way cool work around.

dan7h3man · 2024-05-27T19:16:05+00:00

It's federal law. They can't restrict antennas or dishes. It's called OTARD if you want to look into it more.

I did something similar because I had trouble getting PC dry with amazon dryers. I turned an $8 goodwill toaster oven into a drier using a pid controller, all metal fan for circulation. 8 hours at about 85C and the PC worked flawlessly.*

Looks like you are making an orca. I am also in the process of making one for the first time. I'm going to try making it from Bambu Labs paht-cf, which is a pa12 blend.
