I tried PM'ing you but the inbox is full.... Is this still for sale?

Spotted on 202N early this morning near Malvern

I'm not too familiar with the Coal Center area in PA. But Duncansville is near Raystown lake and Rothrock State Forest which is a great area for exploring by vehicle. There is a company here that makes awesome maps Plan Your Next Adventure With Lizard Maps for both of those areas. I can't commit...

Just a quick note from my experience with CO2 (maybe others have an opinion). I'd recommend limiting how long you allow CO2 to stay in your tires. When I first got my powertank setup I used the air for both trailside fillups and to eliminate the annoying low tire pressure light in the BMW in the...

Dropped the DS and the sound disappeared. One axis on the rear ujoint works well, the other isn't smooth. Front ujoint neither axis moves well. Ordered new ujoints today.

I say this because eventually they disappeared... which I assumed meant that the grease worked its way into the correct spots.

Need a little advice... I added grease to my rear ujoints yesterday on the 80. Took it for a slow drive around the neighborhood and heard some "interesting" noises but nothing excessive. A few grinds, a couple clunks but nothing consistent or overly concerning at the time. Parked it for an hour...

Decided to address the sluggish power windows today. Cleaned the contacts on the driver's side control panel. This eliminated the studder/hesitation when putting the windows up. We'll see how it does once the temps get below freezing but excited in the improvement none the less. Before: After:

Well to close the loop on this project - system held a vacuum. Loaded the oil through the yellow hose. And I'm know blowing cold air. I think I can move on to the next task! @Pacer (and others) thanks for the guidance and words of encouragement!!

Will do - seems like the least they could do for all the aggravation and driving around

Good to know - I work from home so will let it run through the remainder of the day. When it comes to adding oil - I've changed 3 components so it seems like the mud rule of thumb is 2oz per component or should I go strictly by the exact amount in the FSM? Also, I didn't add the oil to the...

@Pacer for the win! These were rented gauges from autozone. My uneducated eyes completely missed the electrical tape until this morning. I returned the gauges todayand borrowed a NEW set. Hooked it up and immediately achieved -30 and it's holding a vacuum. Note to self - scientific instruments...

I should mention that it isn't the fact the valves/gauges aren't connected...

Quick update - I was able to get the a/c system back together yesterday afternoon. Here's what I did, replaced o-rings, shrader valves, expansion valve, ac rec/dryer, condenser (old one was leaking). For the most part it went ok - I broke a few bolts on the top brace and one on the a/c receiver...
