Well, after seeing the Ebay units were shipped from Hong Kong, I decided I didn't want to wait a week and a half for it. There was a used TIF unit on ebay I could have gotten for $65 shipped but with my discount I got the HF one for $60.

I tested it out on the car and it beeped pretty good all around the drier. I put a small charge in to get the pressure up to about 60psi. I unscrewed the drier from the car and noticed the temp switch was leaking. It was on the red part.

So after trying to find one here and seeing what the stealership wants, I ordered one from Phil with Next Day Air. I just placed the order so I am assuming it will be here Thursday. My glowplug light has been randomly flashing. I think the relay is bad. So I needed a new one of those and some other random stuff.

I took the freon out of the system. So it is just sitting open so I got a new drier as well.

I'm taking a road trip to KC on Friday so I want everything in tip top shape. I'll get everything up and running Thur night/Fri morning.
