looks like test-fit placement of the original "mock-up" hood hinges...... hehehe.

That sucks though, there's always gotta be more bumps in the long road to that light at the end of the tunnel.

Is that the S&P a/c stuff?

Wild I have never seen one do that. There is no trace of oil leaking out of there either. Seems odd what ever made it do that. Usually you would have a wet spot where all of the PAG oil leaked out.

Thank goodness, it didn't look cheap to me at all. Make sure there is no blockage in the expansion valve before you all recharge the system again. Maybe there was some shavings from the manufacturer in the lines that caused a blockage and increased pressure in that area? Just a thought, or weak spot in the aluminum.

Where did the compressor mounts come from?

Street and Performance.

On the A/C condensor... we've never seen one blow like this either. We also run an automotive repair shop... that's how Porterbuilt got started. We specialize in A/C (I think every shop in Phoenix claims to :) ) and this is a first. I charged it up yesterday and the pressures looked normal, and it was cooling great. Fired it up for Kyle today, blowing ice cold, it ran for maybe 3 minutes and BOOM! I figured it was a hose... not a hole the size of a golfball in the expensive, polished condensor.:( Typically when the head pressure spikes to the point of something rupturing it's a hose or evaporator. When the new condensor gets in, the entire system will be inspected... again!

Looks right at home, just not the right home;) So did the A/C get fixed? Was it just a fluke or what?

Kyle,

In the pics where your truck is aired up, is that ride height or is that aired all the way up? I'd guess it's ride height but just wanted to clarify.

IT LOOKS SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!! :metal: :phat: :cong:

Kyle,

So the aired up pics are basically 8 1/2" up and the aired out shot has the front frame corner behind the suspension hoop sitting on the ground?
I'd love to see it at ride height. You planning on running it at 5" or 6"?

It seems I remember your tires are 255/40 fronts and 295or 275/40 rears. Is that right?

I'm getting ready to place my order with Nathan so I want to make sure of everything so I can tell him the right stuff.

Thanks,
Jim
