Rear air conditioning lines leaking - quick fix
Sorry for the delayed response. I'll snap some pics and post tomorrow. You will be underwhelmed. We cut the pipes and closed them off. Not connected to one another. Super simple but it's worked for me. -

Rear air conditioning lines leaking - quick fix
Yes. We cut the lines under the driver's seat and soldered the ends of the pipes coming from the engine bay. Recharged and it's good. All the front vents and the two blowing back from the center console are ice cold. Back system still blows room temp air. Heater is unaffected throughout. I... -

IID Tool question
I purchased mine through Lucky 8 and received it within days (UPS, I believe). You can get a standard IID or the one with Bluetooth (so you can use it on an iPhone, iPad, or Android app). I got the Bluetooth model and am very happy I did. It cost about 100 more but for all the use I get out... -

You'll win that dollar...or donut, I forget how the bet works. Yes, the current software on the IID tool has a flash for the AMK and the Hitachi pre-loaded. The user manual provides simple instructions: https://www.gap-diagnostic.com/support/documents/IIDTool/ -

LR3 Alternator Replacement
Brooke Lynn - PM sent. I just changed mine on a 4.0 V6. Easy DIY job. Note that the Bosch alternator does not work with its connections near the 12 o'clock position. They need to be closer to 9 o'clock to clear the thermostat housing and to reach the wires.
