Yep, getting a new dryer tomorrow, thought I had one in the garage with my AC parts... No signs of metal shavings in lines, I played with the old compressor this morning, grinding a bit, but looks like I caught it in time. New compressor is preloaded, but I have a bit of PAG oil that I will add with the R134A.

Too much crap going on around here, been playing carpenter, rebuilt the front porch, and a 33 foot long balcony off the back of the house. Contractor buddy just left, laying aluminum trim, laid flooring yesterday on the balcony, trim work tomorrow and installing the wrought iron railing. No time to work on the truck...Neighbor came over, so no dinner, she just left, and took her damn beer...

No rest for the wicked, I'm pooped, out of beer and smokes.
