Either way you gotta recovery, replace the parts, pull a vacuum then recharge.

 

Whats tsa gonna think of odd shaped metal objects in your bags? Or did you drive?

 

Why move the wheel base forward when you can just cut the car back

 

I don't mind if they can recover the R12, then it isn't garbage. If it all vented to atmosphere then it's lost money

 

As long as there isnt a leak you can recover it then reuse it. If you have any leaks then its contaminated. Probably wanna recover inter a new tank unless you know the recovery tank is clean.

Unless you going to a shop, then most will just recover then charge with new

 

Drove the Tesla here. 12 hour drive from San Francisco.

 

Just hit it with a hammer.

 

The weather is actually nice here for once. Not blistering hot like it was driving through Death Valley.

 

Nah drove it to my local AC shop. The dudes been doing this stuff for 40 years and hasn't tried to get me for extra stuff before.

 

Oh thats right, you cant do it yourself.

 

I don't have recovery equip and don't really want to invest in it. If it turns out to be the expansion valve I'll have him keep the R12 and I'll go replace it myself. He's always been good about just letting me do my own repairs since he's super busy anyway

 

We charged in Yermo, CA and it was 107. Surprised it’s actually not that hot here.

Humidity sucks. I’ll take dry heat any day.

 

Ive got the swamp ass weather today. 80% humidity and 80 degrees.

 

I feel like outside might be worse

 

Oh neat, it got hotter... Hottest day of the year now

 

there is little escape from the cornfields

 

through it or by it?
I-29 is on the Iowa side

 

I've only made it as far north as Fargo ND on I-29
there is NOT much up there

 

Oh yeah.

This trip is worth it.
