Where is everyone #5

Had a refrigerant guy working on the bulk tank once, he said propane was the best refrigerant but it’s to volatile.

 

Sorry to say Shooter but these are your worst pics to date, hope this doesn't get in your pockets to deep especially this time of year!

 

No way, I’m thinkin real clear. Even envisioning welding up a valve and Burner set up to cook chicken and hot dogs while I unloaded.

@johndeere4020 he is right. Anyone whose ever swapped tanks on a forklift and not tightened it down good knows how well it can cool. I think I am running about 16 oz in my a/c, 134 calls for almost 25.

 

How you like the 402! Im thinking about a project. Have a 2005 silverado 1500 2wd with a 5.3l. The have a 2014 1500 2wd with a 4.3l. Needless to say the 05 is rusting. The 14 is sad to drive. Was looking around and thinking a 6.2l implant for my daily driver with the cap and steel wheels would be fun. On the other hand sell it and redo the body on the 05 and keep driving it because I love that truck. But drove it day and night for 12 or 13 years and was never easy on it or in a garage in the middle or the rust belt!

 

I worked at a small gas plant and we used to ship y grade out with PTI about once every ten days. One time this driver came in with a brand new truck. Still had plastic on the seats.

While he was loading he used to let his dog run around out in the sagebrush. What he didn't see was the dog carrying a live pregnant field mouse back into the truck and turning it loose.

We got to hear all about mice crawling up his pantleg at night and chewing up his brand new truck the next time he came back.

 

It is and knew a farmer that lost a combine because he filled a r12 system with it. Works great till it leaks.

 

We used propane as the refrigerant in the chiller at the plant. The chiller is what removes the NGLs from the natural gas.

 

@catalinaflyer Imagine the meals and money saved if you hauled propane. He would be empty and rather full by the delivery point!

 

Sysco uses ammonia to cool their cold storage.

 

That 402 is awesome, smoke my 33’s at 35 mph if I drop it down and mash on it. I’d sell the 14, fix the 2005 and do a on3 kit or something similar if it’s got good compression still. You can get the kit for $1800, upgrade to the 76/75 turbo, upgrade to the better manifold, get a decent fuel pump for $110, uncap your injectors or get some 42 lbers for $350. Get a good boost reference fuel pressure regulator, an overflow tank and you are ready to put down 450-600 to the tire depending on the boost pressure. Stock trans will be an issue eventually.

Or do the poor man’s version and just put a 150 shot with a timing retarder box and a set of cooler plugs, maybe a cam if you want. Those 5.3s love nitrous, cranks are good to 1000 hp. Look up a guy named Matt Happel called the sloppy mechanic, he has a Colorado making 1000 to the tire with a 6.0 and plenty of 5.3s running awesome times. He does it as budget friendly as possible.
