   The mechanic told me they evacuated the system and recharged it with dye after   
   installing the new motor.  He had removed the compressor on the engine swap,   
   so it must have opened up the line.  I had told him my A/C had a slow leak   
   before they did all that work.     
      
   RW> Fix it?   
      
   Not yet.  I have been so busy in the evenings, I have not had a chance to do   
   more looking.  Maybe this weekend at night I will use the UV/Black light and   
   trace the entire thing to see if I can find anything else.     
      
   I feel like my part time job is a mechanic lately.  My daughter's car battery   
   went dead and I had to charge it up (only 2 1/2 years old battery).  So far it   
   has been fine since the re-charge.  Might need to be replaced.     
      
   Then my wife's Durango was making this very odd noise last night, especially   
   when turning.  I found the problem to be the power steering fluid was low.   
   Added more, and it seems to be fine now.  I had replaced the "high pressure   
   power steering fluid sensor" about a year ago and forgot to add more fluid   
   (didn't have any at the time and forgot to get more).  It had a CEL code from   
   that bad sensor which would have caused the truck to fail emissions.   
      
   All in a week's work.. :)
