New f250 on the block
Hey guys thought i would introduce myself. I joined another ford forum and i didnt have that welcome feeling lol. i posted on there because of my MPG and trying to get one answer to a post takes a week 
. but anyways i own a 1990 ford f250 XLT 4x4. Shes powered by the 5.8W motor with and auto trans. nothing else special about her. bought her for 1750 with 101k miles. This is my first ford and so far shes been treating me ok, not the best but ok. I have a couple problems with the truck that im working out and will be posting on here at some point. dont want to make too many threads at once some forums dont like that 
. i use her for my handyman company so shes already pulled some heavy loads for works with no problems at all. here are some pictures from the day i bought her.
her tune up was a pain in the *** man

. a few hours ago we flushed the system, installed a new compressor, new accumulator. we got it all together hooked it up to the machine it added the oil and the freeon started the truck and the compressor and about 20 seconds pass and all we hear is a loud pop and a hose flying around the engine bay....... the @#&^ing hose to the orifice tube flew off spewing oil all over the hood and engine bay. turns out that the lock spring must have just been rusty and turned to dust. so thats about 100 bucks lost in oil and freeon in about 20 seconds. ive been trying for the passed hour trying to find the damn lock spring and i cant find one anywhere to buy. anyone know where i could get one by any chance???
