That's one of the best ideas I've seen in a while. And you're right, they look better black.

Yeah, I read the TSB about the low pressure switch. I've replaced it multiple times to try to remedy this.

winterbeater: You are right on the money. It isn't that cold to begin with. I will put a can of 134a in, but I know it won't last long. I have had the evap replaced before under warranty, and it helped for a while. My guess is the evap is bad again or leaking because I can not see the dye...

Here are the symptoms: It blows, kind of cold, when the outside temp is in the 70's or at the most 80. After that, it will smell like there is moisture in the vents and quit blowing cold until I turn it off for a while. It's like it is freezing up, but there is no ice anywhere that I can see...

How do you tell if your compressor is shot or if you just have a leak? I know, put dye in the lines and so forth, but no leaks are found when this is done. I'm thinking if I pull the dash out and look in the box with the coil, that will be where the leak is, if there is one. I hope that makes...

yep, just the core.

Does anyone have any pics or advice for a newbie doing his first heater core flush? Thanks in advance,

Yes the blower is working. The temp inside isn't as hot as before, but I'm chalking that up to the 180* t-stat. I am hesitant about flushing the heater core. My gut tells me that its on its last leg.

YUCK!!! I don't smell anything out of the ordinary when the heat is on. I guess I'm lucky in that sense. At least she runs for the time being.

The gauge stays in that section just under the 210 mark. I call that 180ish, correct me if I am wrong though. For what it's worth, it worked ok for a couple of weeks.

My situation is that my 99 XJ was overheating and had the radiator flushed and had multiple issues after doing so. I I was still overheating, blew a lower hose and had no heat. I know, I could have done it myself, but I didn't and I am paying for it. I left it with someone who checked out...

Sorry, it's a 99 XJ.

After a lot of hit or miss stuff trying to figure out overheating issues. It turned out that my radiator was clogged/shot after a flush. I won't go into that. the guy that did it put in a 180 tstat instead of the 195. I keep reading arguments for using and not using a 180. What is the...

Where do I look to get the casting # ? Also, I'm going to get somebody to comp test it for me as soon as I can. What kinds of things am I looking for with the results? Thanks!

I'm sorry, I keep forgetting that I don't have my specs listed. It's a 99: 150k on the clock

I had my shop flush the radiator, and put on a new cap and T-Stat, and had a new top hose put on. After I got it back, I started having problems. The next morning I didn't have any heat and after driving it a while, I shot anti-freeze all over and it cut off and steam rolled out from under the...

Any thoughts on why one would cool great in the evenings, just not when it is hot in the afternoon? When the temps reach around 85, it will cool for about 10-15 minutes before acting like it is freezing up. I never see any ice, it just starts to blow warm. I can cut off the AC for a few...

I guess I shouldn't call it "freezing up" I haven't seen icing, unless it is somewhere I can't see. What I do experience is that it will blow cold for a little while, then start blowing warm. Sometimes it will cycle back to cool on it's own, most of the time I have to turn it off. The aux...

Ok, my A/C works great when it isn't blazing hot outside. When the outside temp gets over 85 degrees, my A/C will "freeze up" when driving around town. Usually, I have to turn it off for a few minutes, and all will be fine for a little while, then do it again. I've replaced the low pressure...

When I ordered the switch, I used the number on the TSB that referenced a 99. I feel good that I bought the right thing. The shop quoted me $70 to remove, refill, and check for leaks. i figured I would give them a shot. Think it's to much?
