truck will not be drivable, no power.

50 ft lbs torque for 12.9 class

yes you need longer bolts, they are about 1/4" longer.

almost everything is available in the form of raw parts, you need to be creative and put them together.

Yes, $65 shipped plus you will need 2 spall fans. Don't cheap out on the fans, these are made in Italy and are the same as OEM.

There are no existing mounts, I mounted it to the radiator frame. Easiest to remove the radiator from the truck to do this since you will have the shroud and fan off already.

I had them in parallel but ended up with just one and it is fine. 22" x 22" aftermarket condenser for less than $70

proper torque for those bolts is 55 ft lbs. when you look up a 12.9-10mm bolt the torque may be given in Nm (75) converts to 55 ft lbs. I had no issues at all.

It goes at least 34" high, does M-35 trans easily.

harbor freight sells 2000 lb trans jack, used to be $200 on sale. very well built.

Yes, I assumed that the block itself would have larger passages, bigger ball and ball holder etc. I cam just machine the original block to match. Or just make a new block with the correct line sizes. I found 2 for $10 each so got both.

OK, I have an idea. The valve is probably a 2 ton so 24K btu. MEI lists a valve that is 2 1/2 ton, so 30K btu. problem is it has wrong fitting sizes. So I am going to buy the 2 1/2 ton valve and change my block to use the parts from it, then I will have a 2 1/2 ton valve!! Yes there is a...

OK so I need to talk to the maker of the valve to be sure what it is. As you saw, looking the numbers up on the net gives no reliable result and red dot says it takes a 2 ton valve even while they rate the unit at 2 1/2. Thanks. Side note it seems like a few others have been disappointed at the...

Yes that is the great question, what is it rated at? No one knows. Evap is rated at 33K BTU by red dot so a 1 1/2 ton valve would give my results?? Yes turning it in did reduce the suction pressure but also reduced the temp by 10°. Unscrewing the cap will do nothing as the ball valve is already...

# 26 edited to explain how this AXV works and its short comings.

Turning screw in closes valve so suction pressure goes down and cooling went down 10°. Yes I have a sight glass but with 134 I don't expect to get rid of bubbles , it is mostly liquid. High side pressure is already on the high side of the chart. I agree it needs more liquid in the evap. Even...

Well kinda. The cap IS the adjusting screw with spring under it. When the suction pressure is low the top diaphragm pushes down on a rod to the ball valve that opens to allow more freon in evap. When pressure is higher the spring adds to that pressure to close the valve and this controls the...

Installed new genuine AXV, problem is worse. Ambient 90, high side 220, low side 15, evap air 60. At high idle.

It uses a 540031 AXV which is common. The high side is normal at 220 psi on a 90 ° day but the suction is 25 psi which is just below the range it should be in. I will explore adjusting it, the bottom is hard to access but seems to have 2 flat sides, 10mm. I assume back it out so the metering...

Would you agree that a TXV works much better than an AXV? There is a plug on the bottom of the block opposite the control diaphragm. Air out should be at least as low as 40° and maybe as low as 30° in my view. My car is 41° my M35 was 28°, all with 134A
