You don't **have** to replace the drier if its not humid when you open the system. You can also pull a vacuum on the system yourself by getting a $10 venturi vacuum pump from Harbor Freight. It requires that you have an air compressor though.

I will be buying a cheap vacuum pump like sharpe said.
or autozone will rent you one for a deposit then give it back...
I hate trying to relay info, but I'll try
05 K1500 5.3 CC 90kish miles
Around town, temp stays in the normal
When he gets on the highway, around 70-75, you can watch the temp go up. He says it will go to 230. Oddly, if he guns it, thus downshifting, up to 80-85, you can watch the temp go back down?
Doesn't make much sense to me, but I am guessing there is some more info that I might be missing.
waterpump
water pump or air in the system. just a guess.
I just changed a water pump in an 05 suburban with a 5.3 today. Was doing something similar. But was also leaking
A guy at work is having some issues with his car and asked for some help.
Car- 2000 ish Hyundai 4 door with the v-6.
Problem is if he parks the car in the sun mainly or when extremely hot outside, when he gets back in the car and tries to start it after it has set in the sun for a long period of time the car will not start. He showed me yesterday and all you hear is a tiny noise coming from where I assume the starter is as if it has an extremely low battery. He said he has tested the battery with a meter and it looked fine. Yet if he takes his jumpstart pack and hooks it up to the battery it starts on the first crank. I had him turn the car off after he jumped it and told him to start it again without the jump pack and it fired right up again.
He said it if he parks in the shade or in a garage it starts fine 100% of the time. Like i said earlier the problem only occurs when the car has sat in a hot environment for a couple of hours. He said that sometimes if he turns the key on for a few seconds before trying to crank it (almost like you would with a diesel) it will sometimes start.
I told him to actually get the battery tested, but my thoughts think there are some electrical demons in the car, any thoughts?
A buddy of mine had a similar problem with his f150
Turns out its a security computer overheating and malfunctioning. Dunno how they work on hyundais though, but I would look there.
he prob just tested voltage. just because the battery has 12v doesn't mean its good.
F150 has had sketchy steering for awhile now. It has hard spots throughout the travel of the wheel. After replacing the rack, which didn't really help, I replaced the pump and pressure hose today....which also did nothing. I finally googled it, like I should have done last year, and apparently the u-joints in the shaft start to bind up. Suggestion is to soak them in lubricant, and see if it fixes the problem (temporarily of course).
Well, it does.:angry: I am sure Ford wants a plenty for a new one.
Moral? I'm dumb and should have not just throw parts and it.
glad you got it figured out
