We use it to protect wiring in a/c systems from vibration damage. You could also use the black flexable...

    AC heater core blockoff valve leak rate?

    What were the suction & discharge pressures when it was operating? If the system was operating properly at about 2200 rpm you should have 15 - 18 psi on the suction side and 150 - 180 on the dicharge side (depending on ambient temp.) If you have a guage set you should see about ambient + 30...

    A/C System line pressure?

    O.k. - The screen in the compressor - If it is in the line coming from the evaporator coil to the compressor (suction line), the side of the screen that you are looking at is the side that would be plugged (but that screen being pluged would cause the compressor to not pump as much refrigerant...

    Open diff?

    Every pickup truck I've ever owned has had limited-slip (ford's term) rear ends. I don't know how it compares to the rest of the rearends but I can tell you that it does make the truck do a two wheel burnout, and as for daily driving - no problem. I can tell you on an icy road if you stomp on it...

    A/C question

    The official reason that R-12 was phased out starting in 1991, is that it is a gas that when released into the atmosphere, destroys o-zone leading to GLOBAL WARMING. Now in 2015, R-22 in most Household and Commercial A/C systems and quite a few Commercial Refrigeration systems, is being phased...

    A/C question

    Yup, any "refrigerant" can only be purchased by someone having an EPA certificate. Which is nothing more than a test given at a HVAC/R wholesaler (at least that is how it works in cali) based on a booklet received at the same outlet. Hotshot is less expensive than R-134a and way cheaper than...
