Nice work myfx4, can't wait to see the startup vid!
Thanks man! I went back and talked to the guy about it to confirm after I posted that,since I cant use the app I rarely get on here. Good news is one of my customers is getting me trickflows for $150 cheaper than I was getting them before,so those are getting ordered tomorrow if I'm lucky and have time to sneak away from the shop to hit the bank.

What could be the source of a very small amount of oil leaking and collecting on the bottom of the AC compressor? I was looking under my truck to check out the sway bar end links and noticed that there was some somewhat fresh oil on the bottom of the compressor. The whole bottom half of my motor is covered and dirt grease and grime, and some oil as well but all that oil has dried on from being there so long, meaning where it leaked from is no longer leaking. But what's on the compressor is somewhat recent, and I'm wondering what sources could run down or be slung onto the compressor to run down onto the bottom of it.

Have to install exhaust manifolds and finish the vacuum lines, install a few radiator hoses and clamps, clutch fan, cold air intake, and then start triple checking everything else. I WILL, without a doubt, have it done by friday. Work has been busy this week so haven't had much time to work on it.

I've had Efans before and honestly I don't think they are worth the minimal gains you see with them. That's a whole seperate topic to get on but switching from an Efan to a clutch fan you will see a minimal difference.

Well, other than a few benefits the efans have like being able to leave them running a little while after you shut your truck off, to help cool it down some
