If I lived close to you I'd ask you to buy me some mineral spirits. Lol

 

I wish it helped with traction, that would've been awesome...but no it had quite the opposite effect lol

 

Are mineral spirits not a thing in CA? I’d clean varnish of my brushes with that.

 

Lol. The sipes on the KO2s seemed like it helped for wet pavment traction compared to KOs but it seems to have done the opposite for dry pavement.

 

Whaa? Someone who's not old enough to gamble has nothing to do in Vegas? Who knew!?

 

Yeah it's a SoCal thing, probably still available where you live. Mineral spirits is banned for sale in SCAQMD (South Coast Air Quality Management District) which is LA, San Bernardino, Orange County, & Riverside. May be more & who knows how much further it will extend. Stupid CA crap.

Can't even buy paint thinner here now (mineral spitits is basically a refined paint thinner). Everything sold here is now a "substitute", like paint thinner substitute, contains more acetone or something. All these substitues are formulated to evaporate quickly & they all suck!

Everytime I go to vegas, which is not often, I'll stop buy HD & grab like 4 gallons. Lol

 

Jeez. That’s ridiculous. I’m on my to Home Depot right now.

 

Meh. Gonna hit that junkyard and then this retro games store next to a pinball museum.

 

@Crodell6, @Sperrunner, @cruiserguy

What're the symptoms of a stuck open vs stuck closed expansion valve. I think the one in the Z might've died. I went from good AC to meh AC, to dead AC in about 30mins

 

But not for me though, right?

 

Hmm. Maybe I’ll stock up on horn paint with the non-California ingredients.

 

Unless you want something. I’m buying some tools to get horns. All my tools are back home.

 

Lol, ok cool, just making sure. Oh no I'm good, thank you though! Headed to the PO to mail that handle to you.

 

Closed wont allow anything or very little to meter in. Open would just flood the evap

 

Hope that bastard is stuck shut then cause I don't really want to fix a leak then spend another ~$200 in R12

 

So basically its either hot, working fine or frozen. If yoy saying its just blowing hot air then it’s probably stuck closed

 

It's a bit warm here today

 

What're you on about?

 

Could be, but I'll defer to the other two pros that you tagged as they have quite a bit more experience with refrigeration than I do. But I believe what you're asking with the exp valve could cause that

 

Ah yeah, the high clearance front end mod you did.
