Q: a mechanic says he thinks i have a leak in my evaporator. when i attach a gague to the low pressure valve it reads over 100 psi way overfull is this guy a dope or is there something i am missing. the compressor should be running when you check the pressures. -- nathan w. collier http//inlinediesel.com http//7slotgrille.com http//utilityoffroad.com http//bighornrefrigeration.com .

x-no-archive yes anyone plow with a dakota am thinking of buying one to plow a small condo complex with short narrow drives and streets. any thoughts fred the dakota is a very light duty truck. a 3/4 ton or better will stand up to the abuse of snow plowing better than a dakota. if you just want to remove snow purchase a used farm tractor with a drag blade. .

i am a supreme novice when it comes to a/c. can somebody suggest a good book that i can read to get mor edjucated take your vehicle to a qualified service technician. a/c isnt something for the novice. you can bullshit your way through it with the $9 pressure gauge from pep boys but you need to fix the leak before you bother with charging the system unless youre just looking for a temporary fix. -- nathan w. collier http//inlinediesel.com http//7slotgrille.com http//utilityoffroad.com http//bighornrefrigeration.com .

oh ok have to check out the duallys. i had gotten factory flaps they were the moulded ones not the flat black rubber ones. they have the ram head logo on them and they were in the dodge asseriories brochure. they had to have holes drilled to be screwed. two holes on the painted surface drilled and couple holes drilled into inside black plastic liners. thats ok dont bother looking. i will use the same flaps because the holes are already drilled. when i get the truck painted the holes will be not a problem. lusardi stevenospam@lusardi.de wrote dale i said factory flaps not factory installed. i installed them and simply followed the directions that came with them. i have an 04 3500 dually with the cummins. there are no holes in the sheet metal front or back. i believe i still have the installation directions. i will look for them and make copies if you like but these are dodge rubber mud flaps. now i also have a set new in the box of husky brand that i bought and ill give them away free because of the same problem. steve steve i have never seen factory installed flaps. all the dodge trucks sitting in lots have no mud flaps on them or rubber mud flaps with the dealers name printed on apiece of stainless steel attached to the flap. these flaps each have 4 hex head screws holding them on. quess what they had to drill holes on the truck wheel well lip to put them on. today i seen a customers ford f350 have chrome wheel well mouldings. just like the ones i had on but instead of screwing them on they had some sort of a clip holding them in place. steve i would like to know more about these mud flaps you have them dont get screwed on. whats a ctd cummins turbo diesel dale lusardi stevenospam@lusardi.de wrote dale all the late model cars use very light guage sheet steel to save weight. however all the sheet metal is coated at the factory before final paint. chips in the paint will not cause rust. simple touchup paint suffices. obviously any chips that deform the metal has the potential to damage the coating. this coating is also applied to the flooring panels as well. i think any holes drilled or punched anywhere on the vehicle is a risk and should not be done. the mudflaps on my 04 ctd are factory flaps and do not mount to the sheet metal. they have special fasteners that mount to the plastic polypropolene inner fenders. some of the responders have mentioned rhino liner and other similar products. yes they are very good but they add a lot of weight and they have the potential to create cavities that can collect water without detection because of poor bonding due to oil and grease not properly cleaned first. my comment about ford is only partially correct. i apologize. ford has no equivelent to the cummins. the power stroke isnt even in the same league. however i wasnt thinking about their gas engines. the ford v8s are much better that the dodge competition. maybe the hemi will prove itself but im not buying one yet. ok steve what would you put on your truck to protect it from stone chips like you got to have mud flaps so you have to drill a couple of holes to install them right. how about protecting the wheel well lips. do you leave the metal bare and use touch up the paint once in awhile for any chips im asking these questions because im going to get it painted and not putting anything back on. i have the mopar running boards they are ok and they are mounted to the underside. they help prevent damage to the rocker panel. fmb suggested xliner will look into that. as for assuming responsibility for my actions you are wrong on that part. dodge sold me the wheel well covers even though they werent mopar and installed them for me. like if they told me not to put them on and why i would of never had them put on. yesterday the sales manager told me that they now realize they should be taken off once in awhile and cleaned. they are finding out im not the only one having trouble. only mine the paint started to lift and surface rust is showing up. and also they are still installling them. and im not in denial ford trucks are not an inferior product. lusardi stevenospam@lusardi.de wrote dale there are times when common sense applies and this is one. yes the installer should have known better but so should you. anytime the paint and or the zinc coating is violated you risk this problem. when i received my 2004 the first thing i did was put the truck up on jack stands and looked for all those things the factory didnt paint and properly protect. the factory had done a pretty good job in comparison to both ford and gm and it still took me 3 days to dissassemble paint and reinstall. ultimately the vehicle is yours. you bought it and you also bought all the problems or advantages that come with it. step up to the mirror and address the guy you see and tell him to assume respons
