    16% Buyers Premium PLUS a $25 fee, PLUS!

    Hopefully it is just a non DOD auction and a one time deal but none the less, be aware, I have never seen such things EXCEPT for what went on a few days ago at the Littlefield auction and all there add on fees. Hmmmmm.

    16% Buyers Premium PLUS a $25 fee, PLUS!

    Be verrrry careful and read the fine print. I just saw a bunch of GL auctions where they say you will be charged a $25.00 handling fee I think it said AND the Buyers Premium was 16% up 6%, AND I am sure you will pay tax as well. SO if you win an item for $100.00 you pay $25 so now your at...

    I just found an inherit flaw at the compressor. the charge 90degree fittings really should be a 180degree configuration or the potential for bending them in the future wrenching on the engine is tremendous. Off I go on a search... The top is what we get, the bottom is what I would like to...

    It works and it is EASY. Leave the fan attached to the fan clutch, hang it as I suggested and push the whole deal forward and you can easily install your A/C belt and replace ALL BELTS on this pulley system. Is nothing else learning this trick was worth it all, a guy can change his belts FAST...

    I have received a couple of requests for the extended harness. Trust me when I tell you I did the research and no one sells these things, they have to be made, several one time use EXPENSIVE tools are required too. I am looking into getting them made FS, give me some time.

    ATTN F-Wag (another book :-) ) My fan clutch was leaking air. So adding the A/C compressor Y was the right time to swap in a new fan clutch. You can get parts to rebuild it for $300.00, then do the deed, new they are like $1200 if you can find it or a reman. So I found some fan clutches on GL...

    The compressor install was straight forward. I am not happy w/ the metric hardware RD uses everywhere, not happy at all w/ that, it is another set of tools now. The compressor bracket mounts to bolt holes existing, I highly recommend you chase those threads w/ a tap prior to trying to use...

    In post #38 I spoke of the wiring harness being too short. I made up a 3' extension cable and it ended up being just right. Now the install is EASY and things are accessable around the inner perimeter of the underside of the cab. Here is a pic, I will cover it w/ convoluted tubing I think ...

    Failsafe Warning Controller

    The low air warning switches are cheap and easy to replace. I just simply replaced mine anew not knowing how old they were. It is a safety device, just get new IMO. FWIW Alex read my post above about www.idahomotorpool.com

    First GL purchase and paypal question

    In your email you will see a BID CONFROMATION . If someone outbids you, you will see an email that says YOU HAVE BEEN OUTBID. If you see no YOU HAVE BEEN OUTBID emails you are probably the winner.

    The 7155 tranny has a heater assembly that brings the tranny temp up to minimal operation temperature when it hits, If I remember right 5 degrees. (Anyone know for sure?) I do not expect to be in that kind of weather anytime soon but should I sell the truck I would want it to perform...

    The grey colored convoluted tubing that is exposed looks horrible. I started pulling it all off where exposed and replacing it w/ BLACK and some of it is way too big, specifically that harness that goes up the back of the cab. That section is just 2 wires, I got it inside 1/4" convoluted...

    I remember you writing that Jim, and I certainly contemplated it before I bolted mine down up there. That is another reason why I used my own hardware and specifically fender washer underneath, just so if I tag a limb I hopefully break it instead of tearing it out. A guy really needs to carry a...

    Moving it over 3" does reduce the legroom for Soldier B a bit but driving thru the desert, heading West, in the afternoon, in July, w/o A/C is murder. I did it ONCE in my 5 Ton, never again. Besides, my Soldier B is about 5'-4 and 115, I am 5'-11, 250 and I fit so she has plenty of room. ;-)

    Hangin' I am R R~! If it was not so hot and 14 stories off the ground I would be done! Ha! I just got an email and the 3' long 6 pin extension cable I wanted is "in the mail" . [thumbzup] I keep contemplating the 2 hoses and wire going up the back. I almost want to see that installed in a...

    Artisan's M916

    I considered hot water first but I seem to remember that A/C systems really dislike moisture so I steered clear of the water trick. Additionally a guy has to be VERY cognizant of debris getting in the lines. These hoses come w/ both ends plugged so I am doing it so one end is always plugged and...
