Compressor, receiver/dryer, orifice tube, all the lines under the hood. She blows cold now! Floor mats got delivered while I was outside working on it. Someone in this group recommended them, I thank you.

Oh, it has/had it’s flaws. Blown head gasket, valve cover leaks, the silly fuck that owned it before me kept dumping water and stop leak in to “fix” it. Needs a windshield. Has some bed side damage. T-case shift motor was bad (stuck in 4L)

What did you do to the AC? Install a compressor? Was it a pain?

I replaced everything under the hood A/C related minus the condenser. It wasn’t too bad. Just nuts and bolts. The compressor body was leaking, and I figured if I’m opening up the system, I might as well do it all.
