Hey guys I just got my '04 Silver Marauder last Thursday and man, I got snookered really bad on so many things! (another story for another day)

One of the things that were not represented- the a/c only blew out of the defrost. After doing the research here, I went up to auto zone looking for the o - rings. The ones I got were not the correct size, but, of course I had taken the unit out of the dashboard before i realized this. I'm going to order the correct 007's this week.

But, since i had everything out and apart, I went ahead and disassembled all of the pistons and applied dielectric grease to all four of the o-rings. And, immediately put it back together with the original orings only adding the grease.

After reassembling the unit and the dashboard, I gave the a/c a try and it worked great! It worked terrific as it did the day it drove of the show room floor.

How long do you guys think this will last??

Granddaddy - I sent you a pm - thank you. I will swap them out asap. believe me it's 90 degreed + this week.

And yep it only lasted about 4 minutes but, I must admit, it was a cool 3.5 minutes.
