    R22 systems? Keep them running or what?

    Sure there will be companies that still have the stuff in stock but once it runs out that's it.

    R22 systems? Keep them running or what?

    I have mixed feeling on the situation and I'm an hvac tech. Next year everyone is switching refrigerants again. Most are going to R454B but Daikin, Goodman(Amana), Mitsubishi are going to R32. Being that R454B and R32 are A2L mildly flammable systems will now have leak sensors that kick the...

    3rd Heater Core Plugged In 6 Months...

    It must be pretty bad if you can't back flush it. Being these new coolants have no silicates in them the only thing I could think that would plug a heater core is casting sand left in the block. If it was my truck I would install a coolant filter and see what it catches. You really shouldn't...

    Why Do Enthusiasts Hate Walmart Products?

    Thats your group on facebook? That's cool! I joined it awhile back. Some cool stuff posted on there for sure. Let me just say as someone that is a member of many automotive groups on facebook the amount of bad information in regards to oil and filters is nuts. Its not just your group its pretty...

    How bad is electrical arcing?

    That's definitely a sign of a bad connection and arcing. Old outlets are very prone to this especially ones that get heavy use.

    Average Vehicle age now 12.6 years old

    Anytime I stop by my buddies large independent shop its mostly newer vehicles they are working on with major issues. Not high mileage vehicles either. Mostly domestics. Ecotec and Ecoboost engines keep them busy.

    Recharged house a/c, cools better but gauges still low.

    You won't ever get 40 degrees out of the vents on a residential system. The evaporating temperature should be running between 40 and 50 degrees but your air temperature will never be that cold. You should be checking superheat too because to much refrigerant and you will flood back to the...

    Done with ANY selling online!

    Ive been saying it for awhile but facebook is over run with scammers. They are on a lot of the buy sell trade groups, automotive groups, you name it. They are even creating their own buy sell pages so they can scam people without getting kicked off a legitimate page. Ive reported so many fake...

    Do you follow severe differential oil change interval?

    I change the rear diff oil in my little Mazda truck every 10-20k miles. The way I run the truck would probably fall into a severe service interval. Its has a factory fill and drain plug so its easy to do.

    Any opinions on using Edison-base mini-breakers?

    Good friend of mine had quite a few of them in his barn to replace the screw in fuses. After they trip so many times they get weak and trip a lot easier.

    New air filter has no metal wire screen

    The lip of the filter without the screen wasn't staying on the side of the filter box. Being that the filter wasn't very rigid it was falling down into the box. Only the two narrow sides were holding it up.

    New air filter has no metal wire screen

    I'm not a fan. I just pulled one out of my brothers care and replaced it with a wire backed filter because the one without was not sealing in the middle on the long sides. Ford air box too and possibly the same size filter. His car is an 09 crown vic.

    '89 F350 Zf-5. ATF? Really?

    You don't want to put 90 weight in a ZF-5. Way too thick! Most guys are using full synthetic atf in these now. Some use syncromesh fluid and some have used tractor transmission fluid (THF). Guys that have tried to used gear oil have reported the transmission being hard or impossible to shift.
