    While I realize you're the mechanic, understanding gas principles, no line should be cold. The refrigerant cools off in the evaporator. It is called the evaporator because the refrigerant evaporates when the pressure quickly decreases. Unless you are referring the extremely short line between the expansion valve and the evaporator.

    Low pressure return from the Evaporator back to compressor should be cold if the AC system is working good.

    That's why they condense water on that line commonly...

    I will say the oil psi seems stupid low like a Cummins. 45 psi oil driving 1400 rpm.
    And 10 psi low idle.
    Also still trying to figure Arctic mode for APU use

    It will be a little while. There is a leak at the expansion valve, and due to my truck being older, there are no hoses in stock, so we have to be able to take the hose off the expansion valve without destroying it. When I accomplish that, I will let you know. In the meantime I will have to take your word for it.
