  1. Ice build-up that starts near the inlet of the evaporator is usually a sign of a low refrigerant charge. Most modern units won't hold the charge as long due to corrosion/manufacturing issues. If the entire evaporator develops ice evenly across the core, maybe a temperature sensor needs to be repositioned. Antique refrigerators were designed to run efficiently because the cost of electricity was high. They're much more efficient than any modern frost-free design that runs a 500+ W heater for 10-20 minutes almost every day; some even use additional heaters to evaporate the collected condensate. The main advantage of a modern design is the improved insulation materials which permit more interior volume for a given footprint.
  2. I had the ice buildup and no cold air issue w/ my ancient Rheem central air unit last summer. The HVAC tech I called added some refrigerant and re-sealed a couple of the connections with Leak Lock and it runs great now. If I can get another summer out of it, that would be great (1991 vintage unit).
  3. Sweet '64 GP cruisin' ~
  4. Wait til FCA makes the Gladiator electric- it'll be $98K.
  5. [Note typical poor mercedes quality; nameplate badge not flush to body on right side, uneven trunk seam, plus cheap external trunk handle.]
  6. I’m too ‘established in my experience’ to have the brakes & steering wheel fighting me for control. Toyota can go F itself; keep them optional/ defeatable or disabable.
  7. They're priced low enough, no rebates neeeded. These are examples GM should study of price it right from the start... And have dealers end up with 2 left, and lists of people waiting for the right combo to come in. Oh, the tragedies of Lane Keep helper...blind spot...or auto stopping? No worries. GM still barely offers any of these "standard on a Corolla" features even on a Cadillac, so one brand group is still safe for you.
  8. Not with any vehicle I have recently driven.
