If you're in north Phoenix, I'd take to Smart Automotive on north Cave Creek Rd.
If you're south or in east valley, take to Salem Boys Auto in Tempe.
Folks form the north don't realize that a 1999 vehicle in Arizona can still be pristine.

Re: 2014 GMC Sierra not cooling well
My 2005 Yukon had hot air coming out of the vents, and turning off ignition and restarting the engine temporarily fixed it. I had a bad actuator so hot air was getting mixed in, replaced the actuator to fix correctly. You may be able to get by, by turning the actuator manually and unplugging its har...

I'm pretty positive that I followed the instructions properly, but now the compressor cycles on and off constantl...

Re: High Pres Line Splice
I have aluminum line on the high pressure side and need to attach two tubes together. Can I use the flare fitting parts, which are brass, to connect two aluminum pipes to make one? I use these on copper tubing all the time for propane, but propane is typically very low pressure after the regulator,...

Re: Compressor relief valve diagnosis

Re: Strange PSI's in AC system, no cold AC
On my 1998 Frontier, last summer my AC clutch was slipping sometimes. There were two shim washers under the drive plate, so I removed the thinner of the two, then re-installed the AC clutch drive plate and that will make the AC clutch "gap" narrower (yet not so narrow that it scrapes in th...

Re: New member needs advice from the AC experts. :)
Cusser: The uninformed simply have no idea of the scale of the refrigerant business. Refrigerant is mostly recycled - well except for driveway pirate mechanics that vent it.

Re: New member needs advice from the AC experts. :)
You might still be able to buy r12, but its time is limited. Very limited. Read your usa “clean air act” and you’ll see that production is banned. Cfc’s by 2015, hfc’s by 2030 Production is/will be banned, but there is still more than enough to go around. There's actually plenty of R-12, as few old...
