Welded my exhaust back together and recharged my a\c yay! I now have icey cold air but I can only use it at highway speeds cause my clutch fan **** the bed. Without the clutch fan working properly there is not enough airflow through the condenser and the head pressure rockets up to 450+ which will blow a compressor up quick. So everytime I slow down or come to a stop I have to shut it off. I will probably be ordering another efan next week and getting another clutch fan from the junktyard this weekend. I need a new donut gasket for my y pipe, will probably do that fri.

Installed a new negative terminal battery clamp. No more foil now.
Lights are a tad brighter and my voltage stays at a constant 14 volts.

I also think my catch can is putting heat into my a/c system be being attached to the a/c line...any thoughts on a better mount? lol

Decided to Dabadge the Ram today. Took about 3 hours to do. Dental floss,WD40 and some harsh rubbing and a little tlc and the badges came off. Hands are very sore though. I think it looks a little better without the badges. I was going to put some 4th gen badges on there, but I think it looks just fine without any badges. Have to do the tailgate another time.

3m double sided tape on the firewall? Theyve got hangers that could work too.

Tape would melt so damn quick. lol This can gets HOT. I've been thinking about some hangers, I just haven't figured out what kind. Guess I might be going to the electrical section in the near future to try and find something that would work.

What about a u-clamp? Could use screws that way.
