Posted: Tue Oct 22, 2013 11:24 amJust asked at mechanic shop I was at and they said its the dye in the system They said its most likely the relay that's gone bad. Ill test that out by swapping with another when I get home.

Posted: Tue Oct 22, 2013 1:14 pmUV dye is added with A/C oil. You can then use a black light to see the leaks.

Posted: Tue Oct 22, 2013 10:01 pmYes sir freon is messy, I'll mess with the relay tomorrow to see if that's the case. The CB extension is awesome, just need to drill a hole thought the center console to run the wires and I'm good to go.

Bracket installed inside the center console.
Holes cuts in the front and rear for wires. They both look the same.

Posted: Tue Oct 29, 2013 7:21 pmJust dropped off at Torch Monkey Fabrication. They'll be modifying the tranny cross member and building a front bumper with fog lamp mounts tabs and a winch mount. Should be completed and ready for pick up this Saturday.

Posted: Sat Nov 09, 2013 1:59 pmWell as usual things did not go as planned with the trac. Just picked it up, all they were able to complete was the new cross member (at least that got done).

Posted: Sat Nov 09, 2013 3:18 pmLooks good any pics of the exhaust clearance?
Re: Rock Trac - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4x4
Posted: Sat Nov 09, 2013 3:31 pmI'll take one later, it's very minimal. All they did was move it over via shifting the pipe with out having to weld or anything. It's a very small clearance for the shaft. I'm betting it probably bangs against it when I wheel it, but shouldn't be a big deal.

And another here
Re: Rock Trac - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4x4
Posted: Sat Nov 09, 2013 4:08 pmI tried to get a good picture but it's leaking coolant at the hose that plugs into the bottom of the motor.

Posted: Sun Nov 10, 2013 12:21 pmSo you need a pan gasket and a lower radiator hose? I thought we put on new radiator hoses
