rwall@mopar1973man.com wow! 6 gallons. I'll need a bigger drain bucket..

Try changing oil to Delo 400. I know from experience that folks have had the same problem and changing brands has stopped the usage, this may be your cheapest trial.

We are asked only to believe, having faith, not convinced by science or logic. Faith is an act of love and trust. I believe God designed the universe in the way that no scientific proof exists either way. It's been tried many times.Rejecting belief simply because a miracle did not happen or a problem did not disappear is not Faith. It is believing in spite of our personal doubt, our faults, our failures and shortcomings. Also never give way to doubt or failure if you do wrong. Just forgive others as you yourself would be forgiven. I have seen his works in my life with many recent unexplainable occurances and I continue to trust Him for the rest.Just my

This was sent to me by another member of the site in a email mail. Very nice story and makes a point.DOES GOD EXIST? This is one of the best explanations on the nature of God that I have ever seen... A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.They talked about so many things and various subjects.When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: 'I don't believe that God exists.' 'Why do you say that?' asked the customer.'Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children?I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.'The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard.He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barbershop again and he said to the barber:'You know what? Barbers do not exist.' 'How can you say that?' asked the surprised barber. 'I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!''No!' the customer exclaimed. 'Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.''Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me.''Exactly!' affirmed the customer. 'That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world.'If you think God exists, send this to other people---If you think God does not exist, delete it! BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS! :pray:I really liked this, I hope you share it.........Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil.....There's no point to it.

Here are all of the components of the 2nd Gen A/C system, and what they all do. First is the compressor. The refrigerant is compressed making it even hotter, it becomes a high pressure high temperature vapor. http://www.mopar1973man.com//isx97/Truck%20Stuff/Ryan's%20Dodge/Under%20Hood/AC/IMG_1471.JPG After turning into a high pressure high temperature vapor, the refrigerant goes through the condenser. The condenser has ambient air running through it which cools off the superheated refrigerant, so much so that the refrigerant turns back into a liquid. Nevertheless, the refrigerant is still pretty hot and remains at high pressure. http://www.mopar1973man.com//isx97/Truck%20Stuff/Ryan's%20Dodge/Under%20Hood/AC/Condenser.jpg Now we make the refrigerant cold. To do this, it goes through an orifice tube. The orifice tube (not to be confused with an expansion chamber) has an orifice that holds back the pressure in the condenser and also allows the pressure to build, if there wasn't a restriction from the orifice, the condenser would quickly lose all of its high pressure and wouldn't do it's job. The orifice tube allows a metered amount of flow to go through it, and then expands into the hose that goes to the accumulator, becoming very cold. One side will be hot, the other will be cold. It will also now be low pressure. This can be seen with an air compressor when you blow air out of a hose. The air expands instantly and is cooled, that is why the air feels so cold coming out of that air hose. http://www.mopar1973man.com//isx97/Truck%20Stuff/Ryan's%20Dodge/Under%20Hood/AC/Expansion%20Valve.jpg It then proceeds into the Accumulator or Dryer. This stores the freon and also has things in it to help dry out the freon to prevent any moisture from building up. http://www.mopar1973man.com//isx97/Truck%20Stuff/Ryan's%20Dodge/Under%20Hood/AC/IMG_1470.JPG The last step is the Evaporator. This is inside the cab and air is blown through it, giving you cold air out of your vents. Technically speaking, it is absorbing heat into the refrigerant which then turns the liquid refrigerant back into a low pressure gas as it warms. They get stuff built up in them, as mine has. http://www.mopar1973man.com//isx97/Truck%20Stuff/Ryan's%20Dodge/Interior/Dash%20and%20Vacuum/IMG_1192.JPG So now that the refrigerant is a low pressure hot gas, it is sent back to the compressor to compress it into a high pressure, very hot, gas that has much more heat to be released in the condenser. If it was a low pressure gas, there wouldn't be enough volume through the condenser to keep you cool, it would also not be hot enough to release enough heat to keep you cool. So you compress it to make it really hot, the condenser has a ton of heat it easily expels, and the refrigerant expands back into a low pressure fluid that is very cold, and you have an efficient a/c system. Ambient temp influence the pressures of the high and low side.
