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...

Re: Can I test a R12 system with R134a for a few minutes?
