Windows 11 is a giant turd. It does not play well with legacy hardware and programs.

I had to loosen the 3 motor mount bolts and jack this son of a gun motor up about an inch to get access.




Whilst under there, I can see part of a sticker on the A/C compressor. What is visible to me says "with rear air" and something about 7 ounces of PAG. I've had a hunch that they put too much PAG in it, and that's why it's over pressurizing.

I almost like it. (But, not for ME.) It's different. Curvy like a sports car. Chop 'n drop?

But I even hate the space lost by beds having an inner and outer skin. "Scars" for a man or truck are a mark of passage.

My 98 is back...told the guy I'd help him line the PDR up a little better. No biggy. He loves it, threw in new floor carpeting as well.

Interesting jacket. Brown? What movie?
You know, I see very few camo motorbikes...

Looked up the two Rust-Oleum Primers, White.
Didn't find time to call them this week. Past paint pro said; ~"Ford uses acrylic paint and for best adhesion, an enamel primer is not ideal at all."

Some of their auto primers they have for just a buck a can more say, metal or fiberglass, which my '01 hood is. (Cops were on my side one night and it helped them to feel my hood and say, 'Not run recently.')

So, still feeling out the primer issue... But you got me started in a positive direction. The new 5-option nozzle with two fan sprays seems worth it too, to me... doing horizontal pieces, versus doors.
