Had some fun with the truck this weekend!

Ok, I removed the lower dash panel under the steering wheel and no wonder why my AC is acting up: Interestingly, in my E39 there is a little electric fan that pulls cabin air through the sensor. In this Pathy it's vacuum driven and there is a hose that goes all the way to the blower behind the stereo. The hose is as dirty as the sensor is. Next thing is finding the intake air temp sensor and also cleaning it up.

I’m not sure if the 03 is the same as a 98 but the cabin temp sensor on my 98 is to the right of the steering wheel and to the left of the radio, right about where my keys hang from the ignition, but on the dash. I do also have a sunlight sensor on the top of the dash, under the windshield.

Sharing a pic for my 2002 as I am about to let it go. It has serve me well over the years. Sunrise at Gilgo Beach, Long Island.

its good to be back in Idaho for the holidays!

Thanks. Coolant as in freon, aye? The weird thing is that other than that, it's ice cold 99% of the times. I'll still go and have it tested regardless. Just knowing that it's not normal in these cars is reason enough. I'm still learning a lot from this Pathy. I took the intake manifold apart and all 6 butterfly valves along with their respective screws were still there, so I'm way less concerned about the car now. I loctited all the screws anyway (they were not loose but didn't take much force to unscrew them either). I'm going to make a routine of checking them every 50k miles or so. I also have an oil leak which sounds like a PITA to repair so I'm still deciding if it's worth fixing. Other than that and a rattling rear hatch, the car is perfect so I'm very happy with it. With the lockdown I haven't been able to really use it other than for short trips and such. It's a shame.

I have had all 3 UCA's side by side. Stock, AC and Rough Country/Superlift. The AC arms do not correct the BJ angle. They market them that way so they can sell more. In fact, they're even flatter than stock arms are, which makes the BJ angles WORSE than stock. Idiots.
