Welcome contestants! Your first question: Is this A/C Compressor dead or in perfect working condition? Take time to come to an answer . . .

Sorry - on a more serious note everybody had a pic of their engine compartment so here is my sad stock looking one:

Forgot to add, that clutch was also purple, green, yellow, white, and several other colors when it first died. Ick.

It is a case of bearings gone bad.............

Hey mike ya got that zip code wrong its 10011 LOL

I didn't want to put in a new thread so - My internet conncetion has been flakey lately, so I don't know how often I'll be able to get on. We had someone come out today and said they basically need to re-wire our entire cable from the street to our house.

There is some low grade smaller gauge wire they used to go from the street to our house that is in need of replacing because it doesn't conform to code anymore and it is of inferior quality.

I'm yanking the AIR on my truck too. I used the block-off plates with the intake gasket and made a plate for the EGR valve. What else should be done?

Did you need extra brackets after the header install? I'm in the process of putting things back together after valve work. Right now I'm at the point where it's time to strap on the accessories and connect the hoses. I've been spending a couple hours every fifth weekend on it

I need some time off.
