Pssshhhh...Not all of them are Gallagher. Some of them are Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Gallagher died?! Again?!

Appreciate it. I haven't done a lot of work on AC systems so I figured I better ask someone with a little more experience. Thanks.

@redline4 Hey Ed, if I replace the A/C condenser on my Buick LaCrosse, do I have to add any compressor oil? System capacity is supposed to be 5 oz of PAG46 but I have no idea how much would be in the condenser itself.

More Korean car work this afternoon. New struts fixed the camber issue but screwed up the toe, so I'm guessing the tie rod is bent. Glued the bumper cover back together with JB Weld and pulled the old tire off the bent rim. Tire oughta be salvageable. Got underneath and figured out where the...
