Re: A/C High-Side Port Leaking

Fixed it, the schrader valve was stuck open. Pushed it in a few times with a small screwdriver and it closed it up.

A/C High-Side Port Leaking

Dad was using the AC yesterday, and it quit working all of a sudden. He had me take a look at it and made this discovery at the high side valve. Unscrewed the cap and it made a great deal of air...

Re: What size spare tire do I need?

Likely 245/75/16 in his case. I was able to get a spare of that size under mine, but it was super tight....went back to the stock 235/75/15 one instead.
