    Going to try an AC recharge kit, should I add oil or UV dye?

    You could say the same thing about everybody who posted on here. Alot of claims, but no absolute proof. Wouldn't you think that if all the companies that make freon with a stop leak additive, would have been sued out of existence if their products caused all the problems people here say they...

    Going to try an AC recharge kit, should I add oil or UV dye?

    How do you know that's what that is?. I could have been in the system from the time the car was made. Do you have pictures like that from other cars, or just from yours?.,,

    Going to try an AC recharge kit, should I add oil or UV dye?

    It doesn't sound like he's going to take it to a shop for a quick fix. And I doubt he's looking to keep his 20 year old car until the cows come home. But if he can get thru the rest of summer with a cheap fix, I'm willing to bet he'll take the easy cheap route. And as a side effect, have cold...

    Going to try an AC recharge kit, should I add oil or UV dye?

    It may not have stopped the leak entirely, but it seems to have slowed it down to the point 1 can costing $11.99, kept me cool for 9 months. I'd say that was the best way to deal with it. I won't be keeping my car for more than 2 or 3 more years, and I'll keep doing that until it's gone.,,

    It would be helpful if you had absolute proof that stop leak caused your problem, instead of just assuming it did.,,

    Going to try an AC recharge kit, should I add oil or UV dye?

    I'm gonna be different in this case and say , you have a 20 year old car with a leaky air conditioner, try the freon with stop leak in it. What do you have to lose?. My Equinox had a leak for the last few years, and a can of freon with stop leak slowed it down alot. I put it in a year ago, and...

    2006 Harley Electra Glide Twin Cam 88

    I'm sorry you don't believe the quote I received for cam shoe replacement and the associated upgrades. There's always someone who says they can do it cheaper. The only thing that makes logical sense in your post, was the part about reusing the stock pushrods. It's been proven years ago, that...

    Need recommendations for clamshell bearing puller

    Unless your going to use it on a regular basis, could you rent one for the job your about to do?.,,

    2006 Harley Electra Glide Twin Cam 88

    Thats a good question. Maybe being the chains are so small, they would stretch more and possibly jump time. Or they just get loose as they age. And if the crank develops more runout, it might pop the chain?.,,

    2019 F150 - Can't remember miles of last change - Check via OLM?

    With my wifes equinox, the olm will tell you if your getting close to needing a change. As a matter of fact, you have to hit the reset to have it start displaying the speedometer every time you start the engine. I would think your truck would kinda do the same thing. Otherwise it wouldn't be...

    How to tax EVs

    I'll have to disagree with this point of states building roads. New Jersey hires only blind people that never ride on the roads of the state. I could never figure out how they can put speed bumps everywhere, but leave a road that desperately needs paving untouched for years.,,

    How to tax EVs

    New Jersey charges electric cars owners an extra $250 a year, on top of their registration fee. That fee goes up an extra $10 a year every year. I don't think they charge hybrid cars that fee because they do use gasoline, and pay tax on that fuel.,,

    2006 Harley Electra Glide Twin Cam 88

    I have a '06 Road King which has same engine, and runs perfect. Recently I brought it to my local wrench to inspect the tensioners. My bike has 37 k on it as we speak. It appears the last owner did the tensioners, before I bought it. My guy told me that Harley has made their cam shoes obsolete...

    Buying a new String Trimmer

    I have a 4 cycle craftsman trimmer that works perfect for my needs. It's about 5 years old, and I trim 4 lawns worth of houses with it, and my only complaint is the line feeder messes up every now and then. I've tried a battery powered trimmer before and they don't seem to have enough power to...
