Gotcha Josh.

During my last AC work there was some debris in the valve. Replaced it and flushed the condenser. The drier insert was pretty filthy and lotsa black stuff came out. And while the AC is now more than cold enough, the 4.6 beats it easily.

The way those laminated multiflow lines run from tank to tank, looks to be accurate that a really good flush may not be possible.

Ok, now I'm thinking about replacing the condenser lol!

ETA: No freeloading!

Just replaced my driver's side door handle carrier.

It's sad that the first time took me almost a day and this one took me about an hour because I've done it 3 times already.
