Weird night/morning. I fell asleep in my recliner, and woke up at 3 am. Did the dishes, a load of laundry, finished my repair on a T-Bird/Cougar fan, then went back to sleep at 5 am.

It's going to be a long day, LOL. Hope I got enough sleep.

Talk at you fellers later.... enjoy your Saturday!

EDIT: Almost forgot.... at 3 am, the reason I woke up was my phone received 4 text messages from PayPal. Someone was trying to get into my account. Luckily I use the authenticator app too. I strongly suggest that you guys use one for your accounts. It's a minor inconvenience to elude a potential bad situation.

You are not supposed to let R134a out
(vent to atmosphere)
But people do
That is why they are starting to ask for certs (like at AutoZone for us pro members)
Soon they will not be selling it without a cert, and soon after that we will all need the new R1234yf anyway, and then the demand for R134a will be gone
Buy as much as you can now
I have about 100 lbs

That's why I broke down and bought a recovery machine. I have a tank that I need to prep.... then I'll be ready to go.

I got the old T5 back, and he also had another case he gave me. Also a bunch of AOD/4R70/4R75 stuff.

Sweet, having a recovery machine
Good luck getting a tank fixed up for it
You have to be careful sucking freon out of vehicles you do not know the history of
In case they have some propane or other crap in them
I was told it would ruin my Snap-on Eco recyclers
They made us use expensive refrigerant identifiers at the dealer I worked for
We worked on a lot of cars that came straight from Vegas with God knows what in them
I am real careful with my ECO 12 machine

This T5 should be a fun build. Hoping to make it a 2024 project, but we'll see. The F150 is top priority. I drove it 250 miles yesterday.... probably put 100 or so on it today. Currently rocking no inner fenders.

Inner fenders - clips and screws still good....didn't rust up?

Got a small handful of christmas tree fasteners on hand?

If you're good with all that, inner fenders install quickly.

Are you going to CLE, or is that code for something?
