I've driven a few Neons on the Amarillo-Lubbock-Abilene-Weatherford summertime test route, and they were decent...kinda wished Dodge had improved upon that li'l buggy instead of pushing that Caliber abomination...but the Laramie and its vented seats will make areas north of the knees feel like yer perched on a comfortable block of ice while motoring for hours under that blazing sun ❄️

VINTAGEPIC: saw this big B-1or2 delivery truck backed up to the street platform and that big B-3or4 delivery truck backed up to the covered loading dock on the internets

that'll buff out

Chrysler Turbine readied for powerplant

There could be another issue with the AC other than the compressor, as there is a safety built in to protect the compressor so that it does not contaminate the system with metal shards. If pressure is too high or too low, the compressor relay will not engage. There could be a malfunctioning expansion valve or a clogged filter drier, no way of knowing for sure without having a technician do a performance check. The higher dollar shops will have a machine that can put a vacuum on the system to withdraw, contain, and measure how much refrigerant was present; it can also recharge the system with refrigerant and PAG oil as required then monitor high and low side pressures, which can determine component performance such as a clogged evaporator or leaking condenser. If the prospective repair shop does not have this kind of equipment and just relies on gauges, move on to the ones that do. The 4th gen AC is very robust, especially compared to the Neon's, as they can handle the TX heat that pervades for 8 months of the year, and the defroster works well year-round. I found out the hard way that if ya do no have the AC or defroster running almost year-round, then that PAG oil will not lubricate the system seals and they will dry out and fail...it's cheaper to keep the AC or defroster on almost all of the time and dial in the temperature ya want, it's waaay cheaper that way. Warranty will depend on the shop...I've had AC work done at Firestone as they have the right equipment and a nationwide network that can support any repairs required during travel...not cheap, but I have worked out deals with several locations to pull a vacuum on the system to withdraw refrigerant, let me replace the faulty components, then they charge my system with credit for the refrigerant they previously recorded. The AC tech doesn't get his hands dirty turning wrenches nor works on a scalding hot machine, and I save $$$ by doing the work and also not working on a scalding hot machine...everybody wins ❄️

you know when a garage was busy cuz there was a payphone next to the landline telephone, and both were within spittin' distance of an anvil

naw looks like the biker is wearing the lab coat on the sidewalk and the frenchie is taking the picture for the insurance claim...then again, maybe the bike fell out of an airplane like this buggy appears to have done... Being too negative is how ppl can get the Debbie Downer nickname [/SADTROMBOOOONE]...not every cloud in the sky needs to be pointed out, completely disregarding that the sun is beaming 🌞

VINTAGEPIC: saw this Job-Rated Express modified for flatbed duty, parked streetside on the internets

Have ya tried removing the pivot pin to hook the rod onto that link?

it's always safer to be thrown clear 😚

HOLLYWOOD a recent rain delay found me parked in vicinity of the TV when Rounders came on...looks like that B-3-C has been herding livestock with the bumper, so they bolted the license plate to the grille bar to keep it from getting peeled off again.. saw this on several parts trucks

looks like the fun girls are getting ready for the weekend...tho making that buggy scrape bottom is a tad unsettling 🤔

VINTAGEPIC: saw this sweet C-1 getting dusted curbside up the street from the movie theater on the internets

HOLLYWOOD a recent rain delay found me parked in vicinity of the TV when Rounders came on...looks like that B-3-C had the optional hood ornament and telescoping mirror

A faulty MC does not surprise me after dealing with the brakes on the QuadCab. It kinda sounds like that piston was hanging up in the bore because of a tolerance issue; as soon as pressure was relieved, it unjammed. I returned a half dozen brake calipers on that truck because of a similar defect.

I reckon you could get the OD and cross-section diameter of the O-ring that ya need and source that from a local industrial supply dealer, they might give ya choices of what color that ya want

might be a Purolator P-709 canister that uses the P-70 element...you'll need to verify the dimensions to be sure additional information - vintage Purolator advertisement

Chrysler Turbine advertised, but not for sale...
