All those capacitor are good. I have used AmRad, it fails after 2 years, called them and they sent me a replacement. IIRC, they have 5 years warranty. Another important thing is the maintenance. It is like cars, the condenser coil needs regular wash, regular filter change and condensate drain...

In this case, if the AC is cold now, then enjoy it and be thankful, instead of trying to analyze. It is not much worst than having to replace the compressor, condenser, etc.

Did the original radiator/evaporator stack washed during its tenure in the Sienna?

What car makes model year are we talking about?

Safelite replaced my Sienna. The person did a great job. Of course, I was watching since he did it in my driveway. They equiped him with a lot of relatively high tech tools to remove the old windshield and install the new one. Before that I have a local shop (before there was Safelite)...

I have a shop that I can bring my part. One time, I had to pay him 3x because the part that I brought were bad. Good thing he is very reasonable of only charging me 1 hour rate. This was a rear wheel bearing for FWD Toyota which have the electronic speed sensor built in. So apparently all the...

YouTube have a lot of video on this. You can use one of the cooler line back to the transmission to drain the fluid after dropping the pan. Just search on YT, there are videos made by Amsoil distributor that shows you exactly how to do it. If it has dipstick, which I suspect it has, it is...

I drip left over oil drop in the jug after oil change. Well I have a whole bunch of oil jugs at that time. Drip them all into a clean dispenser squeeze bottle and it was enough to fill half a bottle. Then I fill it up the rest of the bottle with MMO to thin it out. It was a mix of engine and...

A good diesel oil have an additive to (should) float the soot right away. Hence it turns black right away. That is what I read in this forum a while back. If it is not like that, then it is not a good diesel oil or not rated for diesel engine.

We bought 2 2010 RX350, it is great. Not perfect but engine is running. We have to replace the suspension on the older of the 2 (3 years of ownership). The other one was bought last year, not used too much but no repair needed (5000 miles driven so far). For $5000, it is a good deal. Coming...

I know I don't answer your question but if you are handy, you can open it up and bend the metal contact a little to get better contact. The contact usually goes flat as it gets older hence creating double click. Then you will get a few more years on the mouse unless the switch has worn out. It...

Do yourself a favor. When you get the new one, replace the existing Anode Rod with this Corro-protect anode rod. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01H459TAK?th=1 Now, you need an electrical outlet but that usually is not a problem.

"Are they just using 0W-20 in the US for emissions and fuel economy?" Probably. "If so, does that shorten the life of the engine." I don't think anybody have done a study on this. Everything said will just be a speculation. But suppose that it last 300K miles as supposed to 350K miles, who...

Last night, we filled up at Sam's Garland TX for $2.08. WM gas is $2.11.

All the time, no difference compare to PS fluid. I have used it in GM trucks and Toyota.
