Back a few weeks ago, one of my employees was having troubles with his air conditioning in his truck. It's an 06 Dodge 2500. The FIRST place you should look for AC leaks in a Dodge is the evap coil. (VERY high incidence of failures) At any rate, it's hot out and "Gomer" doesn't want to spend $750 to have a shop fix the leaky coil when a $17.99 can of "ALL PURPOSE LEAK SEALER AND AUTO AIR CONDITIONING TREATMENT" from Advanced Auto will solve ALL his troubles.

Yeah right....

One can didn't stop the leak, so can #2 goes in. Then more than 3 cans of R134A. Still no cold air.

Long story short, Gomer spent $80 @ the parts store on miracle cure in a can stuff that did NOTHING to solve the problem, THEN spent that $750 and ANOTHER $300 to have the dash disassembled, a new coil installed, THE SYSTEM FLUSHED to get the "stop leak" out, then charged and put back together.

The reason why those parts guys have so little trouble selling snake oil in a can? Dumb CUSTOMERS who want to fix a $1000 problem with a $10 can.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c ...
