Dude that has to really suck....

I had a fully working A/C system and deleted it.Mainly to clear up some room,shed some weight,free up some hp,and maybe gain a mpg or two.

Now that it has been like 80-90* here,i am kinda regreting getting rid of it lol.

atomic all you have to do is check and see if they pushed your inside gasket down and pull it back up then you can roll down i tint windows everyday just check it and roll down slowly and make sure you have no problems

^ I got an A/C compressor bypass pulley from autozone for $39.99.Part number 34174. BTW the bolts that were included did not fit in the stock holes.They were to thin....I had to rummige through my collected bolts untill i found 3 that would work.

I also ditched anything else associated with the a/c system.

To step my game up ferther, i ditched the factory belt and added a 'Goodyear Gatorback belt'.Also from autozone.

Then to take it up another notch i added a Spectre drop in air filter.

Doing all this,did i notice an increase in performance and mpg?....yes i did.

I also did a seafoam treatment BEFORE my sparkplug change,had the tranny serviced,and changed the fuel filter.

the felt gasket at the bottom of the window on your door make sure it isnt pushed down if it is then just use a tool becareful not to scratch the tint and just pull the gasket back up but if it isnt pushed down the just slowly roll your window down and watch to make sure it isnt peeling anywhere..i always tell people at my shop to wait 5 days to roll down too but it should be fine in few hrs its just a safety thing for the shop thats all..i tinted my hoe 5% over the factory 15% in the rear and 15% onthe front doors then i did 50% on the windsheild with a 5% sunshade very dark sucks ass driving the hoe at night but dont want anyone to see in it so gotta deal with it
