Just make sure the O rings are good and lubed before you put the plastic caps on. Other than that not much to it.

This was a long time ago before I knew better. Only reason I posted in the first place is because the OP made it sound like he might have done the same thing.

It was starting to make noise. After adding grease it became louder. Safe to assume the grease that was in it was a polyurea and it didn't play well with the grease I added to it.

Would have been better off using an actual CV grease. I tried once to regrease a leaking cv axle on a atv with regular molly grease. It made the situation worse and the axle had to be replaced.

The blue cap is a low viscosity fluid equivalent to Mercon LV or Dex 6. The red cap is the older regular viscosity atf like Mercon or Dexron.

They used to be the oil supplier for Case/ IH, New Holland. The Ambra Gold engine oil was made by them and was a pretty stout oil.

Probably should have been sleeved so that if the concrete settles it doesn't pull down on the meter and associated piping.

If the evaporator is actually leaking and there is UV dye in the system it will run out the bottom of the evaporator box with the condensate water. So you should be able to see traces of dye where the evaporator drains if its actually leaking.

The square boxes are capacitors for power factor correction. Looks like they still have some work to do. All the switches or cut outs as my lineman buddies call them are hanging open. There should be a wire running from the top of the cut outs to lines on the very top. Those cut outs have a...

Doesn't even look like you could get a vehicle in the garage without driving on the yard.

What does the engine sounds like? These things get really clattery when the timing is too far advanced. You might actually need to retard the timing.

Doubt it. Thats not a very common thing in residential setups.

Depends on the application. Saying everything else is junk though is just foolish.

The newer systems with inverter driven compressors are nice. This unit you are looking is basically a mini split condenser with and air handler. It should work well.
