BB24 last minute thrash

I installed new batteries last weekend, but didn't take a drive. Haven't driven my Jimmy in months because of knee surgery and too much other stuff!
I need to change the oil and give it a quick check and cleaning. Crossing my fingers that most everything is good!
A little prayer can't hurt, right?
 
Right after the a/c pic was taken, I picked the idle speed up to 1500 rpm, to check pressures at higher than idle speed. The compressor shut off, and I checked the low side. Not low enough to cycle, but the high side was coming down from 350 psi! About the time I was going to shut the engine down, I realized that the clutch fan wasn't blowing much air. It then started picking up speed and started roaring. The high side dropped back to normal!

Than God, that I had installed a high side safety switch into the back of the compressor!

Time for a new clutch fan!
 
Gotta check the fluids and load up tonight or tomorrow. We’ll be heading out Thursday morning after I drop the girls at school.
