Got the cooling fan, connector, and relay repair wrapped up today. I'm taking a quick break to post this video and cool off before getting back to work cleaning this evening. I'll post the pictures and video from the compressor clutch repair I finished after this Kia in my next update. Thanks for following along and supporting Be Blessed Mobile D&R!

One more A/C repair in the books!
Last week I tracked down the problem on this '99 Ford F-150, ordered the parts, and came back out yesturday to finish the job.

After getting everything buttoned up, pulling a vacuum, and recharging the system, it was blowing cold again and ready to take on another Oklahoma summer.

I'll tell you what... fixing A/C systems when it's hotter than Satan's cast-iron skillet ought to count as cardio. By the time I finished, my shirt looked like I had jumped in the pond with my boots on—but that cold air blowing out of the vents made every drop of sweat worth it.

"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." — Galatians 6:9

If your A/C is blowing warm, making strange noises, or just isn't keeping up with this heat, give Be Blessed Mobile D&R a call. I'll come to you and get you back to driving in the cold instead of feeling like you're cruising through the gates of Mordor.

Guess who's now working with American Auto Shield to help keep you fine folks on the road!

A big shoutout to my new friend Dave and his 2015 Jeep for getting the ball rolling on this exciting new addition to Be Blessed Mobile D&R!

Through American Auto Shield, Dave's repairs are covered, and I'm happy to work directly with them so the process is as smooth as possible. My goal is simple: get the repairs done right while making sure the only thing Dave has to worry about is his deductible.

Here's what we're taking care of:
🔧 Replacing the leaking transmission cooler lines.
🔧 Replacing the thermostat housing assembly to correct a stuck-open thermostat and eliminate the notorious P0128 fault.
🔧 Replacing both front differential inner axle seals, which have been leaking gear oil onto the front tires and making quite the mess.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with American Auto Shield and look forward to helping even more customers get back on the road with quality repairs they can trust.

If you have an extended warranty through American Auto Shield, don't hesitate to reach out. I'd be honored to help keep you safely on the road!

Went out to help R.C. with his '87 R10 again today. He was tired of fighting with the high beams that wouldn't work and a turn signal lever that wouldn't fully engage.

After digging into the steering column, I found the culprit. When the ignition switch had been replaced previously, the high beam switch never got secured with its second mounting bolt. Over time, the actuator rod worked its way out of place. The turn signal switch itself was also simply worn out after nearly 40 years of service.

Pulled the steering wheel, removed the turn signal switch and upper column, tightened up the wiper switch assembly, reinstalled the high beam actuator rod, properly mounted the ignition and high beam switches, and replaced the worn turn signal switch.

Everything is working like it should now. R.C. is already back on the road—headed to grab some gas so he can get his mower fired up. Another old Chevy lives to fight another day.

Today is the the day the Lord has made! I will rejoice and be glad in it!!
What a beautiful day to go replace a water pump in Pawhuska OK.

This has been a great vacation filled with family, fun and fireworks but The Yukon finally got the upgrade it desperately needed!

I replaced the rear coil springs and shocks because, with all my tools in the back, the rear bumper was practically trying to plow the road every time I hit a bump.

I went with MOOG heavy-duty rear coils and load-adjusting coil-over shocks, and what a difference! I took it out for a test drive going Mach Jesus down Brush Creek, and instead of trying to eject me into orbit, it floated like a cloud.

I've got one more day of staycation left, then Be Blessed Mobile D&R will be back on the road Thursday. The Yukon is loaded up, riding right, and ready to get back to work. 🔧🚙

As for the Fourth of July... I'm starting the week with 9¾ fingers, and I fully expect to come back with 9¾ fingers. 😂

I hope everyone has a safe, fun, and blessed Independence Day! Enjoy the fireworks, make some great memories with your family, and remember to thank God for the freedoms we enjoy.

The Yukon decided it wanted attention on the way into town today.
It started hesitating, bucking, and acting like it was running on hopes, dreams, and leftover fuel vapors.

I hooked up the ZEUS+ while limping down the road and noticed the EVAP system was commanding the vent valve open, but the fuel tank pressure sensor was showing around -15 inH₂O.

That's a problem, because when the vent valve is open, tank pressure should be hanging out around 0 inH₂O, not trying to recreate the vacuum of outer space.

Fuel trims were climbing positive too, which told me the engine was getting less fuel than it wanted. The poor fuel pump was working overtime and getting nowhere.

I made it to O'Reilly's to dump some used oil, but instead of leaving, I turned their parking lot into an unpaid diagnostic bay.

I started with the vent valve since they're common failures. It was open and flowing fine. Next, I disconnected the purge line and watched the tank pressure immediately return to atmosphere. Interesting...

Then, for scientific purposes (and because I apparently enjoy suffering), I blew into the canister vent line. I nearly collapsed a lung trying to move any air through it.
The charcoal canister was plugged up tighter than a shower drain on Kashyyyk after a Wookiee family reunion.

What's happening is the purge valve is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. The problem is the vent side of the canister is completely clogged. So every time the purge valve opens, the engine starts trying to suck fuel vapors out of the tank, but no fresh air can get back in to replace them. The result is enough vacuum in the fuel tank to make a Capri Sun jealous.

Eventually the fuel pump has to fight that vacuum just to move fuel, and it starts losing the battle. The engine goes lean, fuel trims skyrocket, and the Yukon starts driving like it's offended that I own it.
