let us not forget restricted vents in the evaporator or other restriction in the air ducts. i will turn the temp high and then cold and see if there is a significant change in the air flow. if it's less when it's on cold the blend door may be compromised or the fins plugged. you say "charge is corr...

30 degree gain aint bad. Might be some restriction,or a slow/sticking expansion valve, depending on high pressures. Make sure the condensor is clear, not full of bugs etc. Condenser new about 1 year ago and is clean. I forgot about the expansion valve, i'm going there first , i will let you know. T...

low side 28 at 15 hundred 45 at idle. high side reading normal. Low line not that cold out of evap. Outlet temp at 15 hundred 58 deg. ambient temp 88.

Not blowing cold at idle. Above 15 hundred blows colder. Charge is correct, fans working, compressor on. Checked heater valve working correctly. Anyone come across this problem, I'm thinking compressor ?? Thanks Mark

No issues with CV joints.

Tires and rims are OE.

No codes.

Gonna check on rear differential solenoid, when car is in next.

Sub frame not connected to cross member. Looks straight forward. The only thing connected to sub frame is radiator mounts. Will account time for rust on labor time. Thanks for the help...Mark

Thanks.That sounds fair.. Mark

Hello,

Would anyone have the labor time to replace sub frame on this fine auto.

Thanks ...Mark

is this your true customer, or just one that comes to you when shadetree can't fix it? How long has it been doing this? Anything replaced before this happened (by you or some one else)? We might need to quiz the customer as to what and when. Anything look new or stripped? Just throwing out some ide...

Definitely will. Mark

That makes sense, i'm going to replace the brake shoes. Thanks for your input. Mark

Adjustment ok

Rear brake lock up in damp weather first starting out. After brakes warm up ok. Any fix for this? Everything looks ok,no fluid leaks, shoes and hardware ok. Thanks Mark

Hello,just to let you know the fix on the QX4. Sent drive shaft out, was bent slightly and needed to be rebalanced and straighten.Works like a charm.... Mark

Hello, drive line vibration at at 40mph and up. Had bad u-joints,front and rear shafts. Replaced u joints ,road test still has vibration. Remove front drive shaft vibration gone. Do these have problems with transfer case??? No damage on drive shafts and balance weights all there. Thanks Mark

Sorry (this is John C., not Mark F. typing here, I'm on his computer). Anyway, this past summer the car overheated, we (techs) told him it had a bad head gasket, and that he should get rid of it. Customer wants to keep the car because he thinks it's a "chick magnet". So, all we are trying to do is k...
