I hate dumbasses! Seriously! Especially when you know damn well how it should have gone.

Bought new pigtail for the Beast. The first thing that bitch should've done would be to check that the pigtail plug fitted its intended use. But did she? Noooo - - -

Beautiful job taking the harness apart, cleaning it up re-wrapping with new wire loom and such; soldered and marked extension wires on the harness, and wrapped it all up nice and tidy.

And the ****ing plug was not right.

ARRGHHH! I'm gonna fire that bitch - no, really - screw up just one more time . . . .

Okay, update - This AC has been quitting on me for a couple of years. That pigtail is a bona fide Motorcraft bought from the local Ford dealer.

In other words, the pigtail plug has been crap since purchased. You can't even trust Ford any more.

But, AC works and it will chase you out of the truck.

Did you install the Range Mod valve to stop the hot water from circulating through the heater core while on MAX AC or OFF? I did earlier this week and..... i THINK it has made the AC colder in the truck.... only way to know if it is my medicine giving me heat waves or the environment, would have been for me to take a temp sample, otherwise, I don't know if it made a difference. I am sure where you are, you would notice pretty quickly as hot as it gets there.

No, I evaluated it and decided to go with a simple inline manual valve. Cheap, easy, turn it off mid-may and back on sometime in Sep or Oct.

We never say it enough, so I am saying it again --

THANK YOU to all you folks on here. You have helped me So Much, taught me about my truck, and I couldn't have rebuilt it without you.

I am considering similar as I do not want the oil misting back into my system either. After replacing oil swollen boots, cleaning out intercooler and the mess it causes, I did the dog house mod to open air. Not the best imho, but a catchcan would be my solution too. Watching too Jax.

Check out Custom Works channel on YouTube for his solution. I would be concerned about the volume limitation of the Amazon product and the likely restriction of the largest sized tube input into the can. I do like the anodized aluminum finish, shown.

Good morning, PSN!

Had a crank-no start. Danged if I was going to come in here and ask. . . . Kept trying different things. "Something" was draining the batteries. I charged them to full before every try.

Accidently left the charger on 100A when I went into the house for more coffee and a bio break. Puttered around and was back out after about 40 minutes. . . Yikes!

Beast turned over and started like normal. I have a bad battery . . .

I have mine on a NOCO maintainer and find the slow/no crankcase issue to be resolved, if only temporarily for now. My batteries are 3+ years old now so it is about replacement time. Just trying to get the most outta my dollar. Costco/Interstate replacements are where I will be going for new ones.

Glad you found the issue Jax.
