    Lost oil pressure!!!

    Thanks, BTW I should have indicated that these are deep sockets. A standard wont fit. Also, Loews, Homedepot or Ace don't carry anything that large, Norther Tools does and probably Sears.

    A/C question on 2001 2500 diesel.

    Thanks for your response. Not enough oil in old comp. to measure. When I install new comp. will charge with a can of 134A that comes with 2oz. of oil in it. FWIW; A serpentine belt for a non A/C 2001 2500 diesel wont work on an A/C vehicle. Had to use an A/C bypass pulley. They run about...
