    Whare Do You Buy Your Car Parts?

    Whare Do You Buy Your Car Parts?

    It's crazy. And further nonsense, in my cart as mentioned above: two brake tools from location A, pads from B, rotors from C. If I remove the pads, the rotors jump back to location B! And of course, add pads back in and they're from location B but rotors jump back to C. Or, remove one of the...

    Whare Do You Buy Your Car Parts?

    Why does Rock Auto's shipping locations/prices jump around for no reason? For example, in my cart, I had brake pads which were shipped from location B, and rotors which were shipped from location A. I added a caliper hanger set and caliper piston compressor to my cart, which are both to be...

    A/C leak sealer - how much?

    Originally Posted By: nthach I'd use the ACPro AIO or ArcticChill one and put a label somewhere warning that the system contains sealers. IDQ is using methylene chloride as the seal swell agent along with a polymeric sealing agent - and chlorinated solvents can do a number to metals, caveat...

    A/C leak sealer - how much?

    Also wanting to mention that almost all of IDQ's r134a products contain leak sealer, so it can't be all that bad. all Arctic Freeze products do http://www.idqusa.com/brands/arctic-freeze all EZ Chill products do http://www.idqusa.com/brands/ez-chill all A/C Pro products do...

    A/C leak sealer - how much?

    FYI, I don't care to get in a debate, and I'm not putting money in this truck regardless of what's said here, but all I'll say (and I'm done) is in researching about using sealers, I've read many reports of people, even those that do it for a living, in shops, that use sealer and have never had...
