Re: Do I have a problem?

At 80 degrees ambient. You're hardly in an optimal temp range to perform diagnostics. Posted readings are not far off. Again, I would do nothing until it is warmer out. But that's just me.

Being off by using those amazon products can make things worse. When you have a 7-page thread on why I'm not cooling. I think it is beyond the abili...

Re: AC compressor keeps cycling every 5 secs

Re: 2003 Tahoe Parts Confusion

The irony is, now Tim still won't sell the parts but now it's on account of you tbirdtbird. If available and you're in the US. I don't see why we would not ship items to you. With little support these days. Next year when server renewal is due. Choices will be made. 1996 to 2022 was a pretty good r...

John, the first year Tacoma, 95.5 had the most amazing A/C I have ever seen. And yes, it was R134a!
