    Question Wiring a new compressor

    Your Valet (?) box

    could it be a remote start unit? Hornet | Valet | Merlin - Remote Start maybe find the local dealers who might have installed it? get yourself new fobs and get it reprogrammed.

    Question Schaeffer's ATF??

    depends on if your tranny has been rebuilt or not. use PLAIN ATF or Mercon III in an OEM tranny. you do NOT want to run Mercon V in OEM trannies. the oem clutches do not like the additves in Mercron V. there is a dealer locator on scheaffers website. better use plain, dumb, generic ATF at...

    Question Wiring a new compressor

    you sure about the 450 reading? is the gauge good? what does the manufacturer set the holding pressure to? if in doubt, check the tank for a stamp in the metal stating complies with asme code and rated psi. do you NEED anything over 125?

    BigFoot Goes to Chev

    "Ford dropped its sponsorship of the team in 2007.... That left Firestone tires as the main sponsor, and since the company also throws plenty of cash at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, it's aching for some cross-promotion. Since Chevrolet also sponsors the event, Big Foot will be...

    Question Wiring a new compressor

    $300-$600 for the motor and another $150 on the controls. its not worth it. by the time you get done swapping out the motor and the controls to single phase, you are going to drop as much if not more to pull the circuit.

    Question Wiring a new compressor

    that is not really correct. with single phase service from the pole, you get 2 legs of 110V power that are 2 out of the 3 in the 360, or 120 degrees apart, not 180. think about it. that is how/why we can combine neutrals.

    Question Wiring a new compressor

    dogman- yes, you can run a 3 phase motor on single (two phase) power. you need a phase converter. but for the compressor that starts and stops constantly, its not going to be much help, easy or cheap to build an automatic starter circuit. look in the sticky on this page for designs. i have...

    A/C Orifice Mod?

    bob's valve is nice, but the $9 one for any year ranger or explorer works just as good too. i dont even bother hooking up the vacuum line, i just wire it shut/open for late spring to late fall. 6-no's and 7.3's benefit from the bypass valve.

    Bad CPS? Vid included

    read the injector R&R wiki you need to read up on how these injection systems work. sniffing the valve cover / oil cap would work with a trained nose but not if you don;t know what you are sniffing for.

    no start after DP tuner install

    you need to get your hands on a code reader to see if you can communicate with the pcm.

    no start after DP tuner install

    did you COMPLETELY follow the instructions? check your batteries? really. you did disconnect them right? are you sure the connector on the back of the PCM is seated correctly and fully?
