When I worked at EPP we did a ton of Procharger installs...well I didn't, I was the phone guy, but we always did them with ATI Super Dampers and they were really, REALLY nice pieces of kit.

Bitch what, that's wild.

Custom brackets I'd guess?

Super rad, sounds great my dude.

Hey guys,

Last  year, my AC compressor died out, so a shop replaced the compressor and everything has been pretty hunky dory since then.

Earlier this year, the vehicle would heat up at stops or stuck in traffic at low speed. Figuring it to be a fan, I tested and found that the A/C radiator fan wouldn't spin up when A/C was turned on. (This has 2 fans, 1 blower at the front that is always pushing air through the condenser and radiator...and 1 driver side that pulls air through the condenser and radiator) When I wiggled the connection, it would turn on, so I repaired the connection and everything worked great! Although the fan ran CONSTANTLY whenever the A/C was on, and it sounds like a small jet taking off. Like, I was pretty sure it only used to spin up when needed back in the day. Anyways...

It has gotten ridiculously hot the past few weeks, my A/C would work fine in the morning. Start working well when I got into my car and when I'm driving down the highway, but when I get into additions and leave my car idling to pick up my kids, the air slowly heats up to the point where it is just pushing hot air into my face. Thinking that the fan failed, that was the first thing I checked, nope, both fans working fine (I can hear the A/C one running when A/C is turned on). I figured it was a clogged condenser or maybe too much pressure in the system causing the compressor to kick off, so I sent it back to the shop today.

On the drive there last night, I had the A/C blowing full blast the entire way with no issue. So far, today has been a bit cooler, about 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The shop has tried to replicate my issue, without success. They've left it idling for a while, the owner drove it home for lunch then drove it back (both times A/C running full blast) and it stayed cold enough to "freeze my face off". The only thing he said he noticed was that the radiator had a small crack and was leaking coolant. It doesn't leak when it's parked, probably only when driven. (These cars have like a metal core and plastic end tanks that crack)  So before he drove it, he added about a gallon of coolant. I had no idea I even had a leak, the temperature gauge has been where it's always been and no overheating or anything.

So the truck is still at the shop, getting it's radiator replaced. But I'm still absolutely miffed that the A/C decided to work, any ideas to try and replicate it without just waiting for a super hot day and taking it by the shop and being like "I SWEAR I'M NOT CRAZY!!"

TL;DR   A/C works sometimes. Always works in the morning and is super cold. Driving around at lunch or in the evening after work it gradually heats up to the point where it's blowing hot air at me. Took it to shop, they found radiator leak, so filled it with about a gallon of coolant and cannot get the A/C to get warm at all. It is 10 degrees F cooler ambient or so. 

1) Will a low coolant cooling system cause the A/C to not work? Like the condenser sits right infront of the radiator, but the temp gauge never moved from where it normally sits, so I don't think it was running any hotter than normal.

2) What could cause a intermittent A/C failure? I was thinking something like a clogged condensor or too much pressure in system causing it to shut down but I honestly am just an idiot with google.

Azar,

That looks fine. 
Install the fuse between the battery + terminal and the feeds to the switches.

As far as fuse rating, most USB's supply no more than 2.1 amps or so, the voltmeter draws almost nothing, and the amp should have an input rating.
Add these values together, and use a fuse around 1.5 to 2 times that value.

Hope this helps.

David

Thank you so much, I think that will take care of it. I'll put the fuse inline with the positive before it splits to go to the switches. Thank you again!!!!

Whaddup dudes,

I know Christmas is coming up and some of your kids (or shit, maybe you) want some new 3DS games as a gift or what not.

I can modify any 3ds to run custom firmware, homebrew, custom themes, take screenshots, run emulators...and other piratey stuff. You can still play online with your buds and not get banned and you can go on vacation and not worry about losing your carts! I've also got a small video here if you'd like to see a modded 3ds in action...

It doesn't take long and is relatively fool-proof. You can ship me your 3DS and I'd likely ship it back the next day from receiving it. I utilize the first class flat rate boxes that cost 6.50 or so to mail and they can get pretty much anywhere in the country in 3 days or less. I've done this for a few of my buddies on the facespace, but figured y'all may be interested. I'll set it up to run NES roms, SNES roms (including handpicked roms for both NES and SNES), FreEshop (service that allows you to download games...FO FREE), a theme tool, a save backup tool, and homebrew channel.

Let me know, I'm asking 27 dollars (20 for the service and 7 to ship it back to you). Feel free to PM with any questions or anything.

Heck yeah! I wanna see all dem pics!

Also, this is what I'm looking for...let me know what I owe you or whatevers.

Hey guys!

Back in Mid-June, I came home from work and had to let my wife know that my company downsized about 15 employees (of 350) and my best friend was one of them. She was pretty taken aback and I then had to inform her that I was, as well. There were no performance issues, behavior issues or anything, it was just that 15 people needed to go and my name was picked.

Luckily, I had recently applied to a different company and made sure my resume was up to date. So that day (June 15th) I started networking, texting people I had met in the industry, calling places that I had positive interactions with, and so on. The next week I had 10 interviews, 5 on the first day I started interviewing alone. I always knew I had been underpaid at my company and my interviews confirmed it when I said I was making almost 15% more than I actually was and would need at least that to start and people were surprised I was compensated so lightly (Even with the inflated amount!!!)

I ended up getting 2 offers for the higher amount I said I was making and I had a clear front runner but they couldn't offer the benefits I needed for my family and myself, so we turned them down. The next one was decent benefits and had a clear path of growth in a field I wanted to learn. Contrary to my instinct, I wrote a well worded e-mail giving thanks but counter-offering asking for a higher salary. They called me later that day and said "No problem, we'll pay you that easily"

I accepted the official revised offer on July 10, and started on July 21. Not including my separation pay, this at first thought horrid event, turned into a 33% bigger salary for me and I'm learning life underwriting which I've always been interested in! I'm currently studying for my ALU exams for the next few years, but very thrilled with how this turned out.

I will never forget being escorted out of the building holding a box of my belongings, not being allowed to say goodbye to any of my friends that I met over the past (almost 4 years) and hearing the hard *CLINK* of the door locking behind me as I stood alone in a parking garage. I wasn't sure if I would find anything better, but my brother assured me that the right people land in the right places, just keep my chin up and believe. Boom.

That's it. Hopefully you all are having a great day, and this leaves you with a positive feeling for the weekend.

PS: If you have any questions on life insurance products, underwriting, etc. Feel free to shoot me a PM. I've done life marketing for the past 4 years and now am specializing in underwriting (had a decent basis in pre-underwriting) for a brokerage so I have access to many carriers and can help (or at least get you to someone who can help) 

I sold my car shortly after we got married...or engaged, one of the two. I can't remember. She told me I didn't have to...


I regret it everyday.
