AC question
The leak is probably at the evaporator under the dash or the O-rings at joints. That tubing behind the battery is the high pressure line coming from the condenser going to the evaporator and the expansion valve is in that line. The noise you're hearing is the pressures equalizing at the expansion valve.

My live data for map shows with key on and engine running or not 101Kpa (14.65psi) @ 700'. Why are you adding 2psi for altitude? I thought that as you go up in altitude, atmospheric pressure decreased.

When are you going to put the drive-thru in?

Power Steering (hydroboost)
You're going to have to clean all the potential leak areas IE: PS pump. Steering box, Hydro boost unit, all hoses and fittings. Now start the engine and start looking for a leak. Use a bright flashlight take your time. If it's not a gusher it will take awhile to appear. Have a helper turn the steering wheel from full lock to full lock this will cause the pump to produce full pressure in the system.

Multiple A/C parts replaced now what about PAG Oil
I've heard of them but don't think I've ever used that brand. I use mostly the Valeo brand for the Volvos I work on. Does it come with new O-rings or do you have to get the separately? $180.99 is a cheap price. I'd be look on line for some 3ed party review. I found one review where a shop in Texas said they had a bad batch of compressors for the GM models. Read the warranty info, any manufacture will want proof of a system flush.

Power Steering (hydroboost)
1. The seal in the vacuum pump seals engine oil not the power steering pump. Look further for the P/S leak: at the pump itself, the steering box, the hydro boost, the pressure/return lines or fittings. 2. If the power steering pump is low on fluid there would be brake peddle pulsation with the steering not being smooth. If the reservoir was out of fluid than you would lose all power steering and power brake function with the power steering pump being damaged and noisy. 3.Flow is from steering fluid reservoir to pump where it is pressurized up to 1200 psi. At the hydro boost there are three fluid lines: one line supplies the pressurized fluid to the hydro boost, one line supplies pressurized fluid from the hydro boost to the power steering box, the third line is low pressure fluid retune to the power steering reservoir. On the reservoir is a second low pressure return line for the power steer box.

Multiple A/C parts replaced now what about PAG Oil
The vehicle manufacture designed the AC system with a known oil capacity. The AC compressor manufacture builds the parts to the vehicle manufacture's specification. The 6.2 oz is not the amount of oil in just the compressor but the whole system. That's why when you replace just the compressor the old compressor must be drained of oil and the amount measured. If you drain 3 oz out, put 3 oz of fresh oil into the new compressor. "Too little oil will result in damage to the compressor. Too much oil will reduce the cooling capacity of the air conditioning system." A little to much is better than not enough.

The dodge service manual says 6.2 oz, ALLDATA says 6.2 oz, Tech Choice parts oil capacity chart says 6.25 oz., the side of a compressor says 7.43 oz. STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL ( 2001 Dodge service manual page24-57) "It is important to have the correct amount of oil in the refrigerant system. This ensures proper lubrication of the compressor. Too little oil will result in damage to the compressor. Too much oil will reduce the cooling capacity of the air conditioning system."

Multiple A/C parts replaced now what about PAG Oil
STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL ( 2001 Dodge service manual page24-57) When an air conditioning system is assembled at the factory, all components except the compressor are refrigerant oil free. After the refrigerant system has been charged and operated, the refrigerant oil in the compressor is dispersed throughout the refrigerant system. Refrigerant Oil Capacities Component ml fl oz A/C System 210 6.2 Accumulator 60 2 Condenser 30 1 Evaporator 60 2 Compressor drain and measure the oil from the old compressor - see text.

How did this thread go from "It's nice to have to have a clean bathroom to use anywhere you go" to "most people talking in the thread here want to get together"?

If that true then I died a year and a half ago by living in the fast lane of SoCal. I can understand that. Being self employed, the business doesn't give you a payed vacation and time off, no work no money. Prioritize that time off, you can only afford so much.

You don't need no stinking special tools. A hammer, chisel,a pair of vice-grips and a gun to finish it off, are all the special tools you need.

A Mobile Idaho Patio. Did you pull 5th gear off first. Try pulling the races and/or bearings off the counter shaft, that will drop the counter shaft away from the main shaft and free it up. While it's apart I'd replace all syncros and bearings, no questions asked.

FASS regulator with Fuel Boss
Try using a pair of these to clamp off the hose in front and behind the pressure regulator. I use them in conjunction with a drain pan. You will lose very little fuel with no mess.

Flooded out.
I see pictures like this flash by on the news and don't think much about it. Now that it's happening to someone I know, if only through this web site, the pictures take on a different meaning. Is every one alright, how much damage is there, how long to put things right, is there any help available, what does it take to put a house 8' in the air??? Take it one day at a time and in forty years it'll be a memory of the flood of 16. God bless and good luck.

My wife and I, when traveling, like to refer to our 5er as the 'porta potty'. I know what you mean about the beds. You can buy it at Amazon.
