Wow, thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I guess that seems pretty half-butted. Sorry, the heat is getting to me. Let me rephrase: I will replace the drier, is there anything else I should replace? I am confident the compressor is good, and I really don't want to mess with the whatsit under...

Ok, maybe I would replace the drier if it is a good idea, I can get them cheap off ebay.......

Update, now that it is hotter than fudge up here. Added a charge of refrigerant/oil/leak detector. Blew cold for a while, until refrigerant ran out of a very small gash at the very bottom of the condenser. No leaks anywhere else, no bad noises from compressor, it engaged like it should...

Thanks for clarification. I was puzzled by people saying to unplug the transducer and use a jumper to get the compressor to engage, and mine only ran when it was totally unplugged. I am only looking at the AC as an afterthought, as I figured it was trashed from years of neglect. I am trying...

Upon closer review last night, it might could be a bad water pump or a bad install on the pump. It SEEMS that there is more dampness towards the front, the pool I mentioned is at the front, behind the oil filter, pretty much under the water pump. The dampness also seems to be at below the...

OK, I 'll try to get right to it. I have a 2000 LS8. Over the winter, I had a leak in the lower coolant tube, so I replaced that, along with the water pump, belt, and thermostat. On an unrelated note, I was having the no-heat issue, too, traced it out and repaired the Aux Coolant Pump. I...

Auxiliary coolant pump fix Hi all, I also attempted this fix, as I am a tightwad and like tinkering. I located brushes from McMaster-Carr, item #65705K49. I actually did this repair while the pump was still in the car, not for the faint of heart or those without patience. There are 3 sets...
