    Your booster bracket is upside down. The pivot is supposed to face up and its meant to drop the booster below the centerline of the pedal point so the booster/master doesnt hit the hood.

    Pretty good vid for your first AC job. AC work is a learning curve but I'm afraid 4 cans is way to much, not much takes 4 cans any more unless you got a school bus with rear air. One helpful tip, you can google it and it will tell you how much freon it should take and how much oil and what kind to put in when replacing parts such as compressor, condenser ect. Also there should be a high pressure fitting in there some where, it is important that you know what high your high side pressure is. High side pressure should be around 200-250 if gets higher then that and closer to 300 shut it off and find out what's wrong. If your sniffer doesn't find a leak with 4 cans you probably don't have a leak. 29 is about the best vacuum you're gonna get if it holds that for 15-20 min. you're good. Before you pull the dash apart find the drain hose in the fire wall where water drains out and put your sniffer in the hose if it doesn't go off your evap is probably ok, if it does go off you found your leak. Hope this helps.

      The internet told me 40oz of R12, but to start with 30oz since its converted to R132a. it somehow took 48oz but its blowing cold, for 35yrs old. It was down to about 15psi after 10 minutes so I think its got a very slow leak. If I have to put a $20 can in it a couple of times a year, I consider that acceptable. Good tip on the sniffer in the drain line. I will try that. I cannot find a high side fitting. Thank you for the detailed comment, I appreciate the information.

    Great video man! That truck looks like it's in excellent shape for being 35 years old! Back in the day we had a 1992 Chevy Silverado, eventually sold it, have a 1998 now, just something I use now and then, your truck looks really nice interior, paint even the engine. I'll be doing my AC soon probably as well on my 1998, which doesn't look nearly as nice as your truck, of course my truck hasn't been parked in a garage for probably 20 years and don't use it a lot, probably why the AC acts up on it. Did you just go to a mechanic and they pulled your freon out? How much did that run you? I want to do as much as I can myself rather than taking it in to have a shop full service the AC as they will probably just go replacing everything when it just needs cleaned out and filled up, but if I could get it cleared out then I could test it and fill it up like with a kit like you have there, it looks like something I could do easily enough. 👍

      An a/c shop should do the evac for free, but I just had to put that in the video so no one would get mad, There wasn't enough in it to do much, less than a half a can.

    Looks good. The C-Notch, holes underneath. They are designed to be fastened underneath so that the C-Notch is supported both horizontally and vertically. Prevents the frame from twisting in the long term. Some other jobs show cutting that rib above the 'pumpkin' to avoid the rear from making contact and hitting those lines up there. Hopefully your bump stops do the job. The cover really does transform the look of the truck - you were spot on with that.

      I went back in a later video and cut the bed support, shortened the bump stops, and installed air shocks. That along with rolling the fenders seems to have gotten me where I want to be.

      If you think you may have wiring issues you can check voltage at the wire on that switch to make sure it's working first.

    Thanks for the video. I'm about to buy this kit and I always like to watch someone install something before I do so I know if I need to order anything else to go with it. I hate starting a project and having to stop to go buy more stuff I need.

      Longer screws for the panel if you mount it there. That was it if you don't do the other mod with the filler. I would suggest using a real ad-a-fuse instead of the tabs they send. Seems to be hard on the socket.

      an update to this. Thread tape. i had a pretty bad leak, and tracked it down to where the brass end threads onto the filler for the shock system. 3 wraps of tape fixed it up.

      @@moycorral7870 you could, but would have to find one for the right size hoses. The hose in the pump kit is bigger than the hose on my Monroe air shock set. The original picture of the parts kit I purchased showed the T fitting with 2 hose spots and the middle was the threaded part. When I received the kit it had a 3 hose T and the threaded part separated.
