    Cleaning domestic coil

    Octane, my original heater core for my 1981 c10 non ac truck is brass, I’m sure it’s original as this was my fathers truck. I checked with summit seems they only have brass for the ac trucks . I got an aluminum replacement from LMC truck and it’s to small to even fill the hole the brass one...

    Cleaning domestic coil

    Auroragirl, you say “you can buy new ones” like the brass ones are “everywhere” and easily accessible. Tell me where you find the brass ones? Cause I can find the aluminum ones everywhere and I’ve found a few brass Ac heater cores but mine is NON AC . Octane, I’ll check summit, thanks

    Windshield washer issue

    Hi can anyone help me diagnose my windshield washer pump on my 1981 C10. Wipers work but nothing happens when I push the wiper button in with the wipers on. I have a pretty good idea how it’s supposed to work. I don’t hear any click or other noise at the pump. So how do I determine if it’s...

    Cleaning domestic coil

    Ok so your Lennox is the R 22 refrigerant?? If that’s the case I’ve seen some of them 30 years old. Keep it as long as it serves you. The compressor or the system will develop a leak at that time your about done and need a new unit

    Cleaning domestic coil

    Raider, where are you located ? And how old is your Lennox? As with most things these days the older ones were build like tanks. The newer stuff not so much... I’ve been doing HVAC for 18 years and here lately the indoor (evaporator coil) will most like blow a leak in 3-6 years.... and need...

    Cleaning domestic coil

    Thanks, right now I think I’d rather find a new one that’s brass and is built like it should be so it fits like it should. In the meantime I’ll proceed with the muriatic acid. Anyone with Info on where to get a correct heater coil for a non ac truck I’d be grateful Thanks

    Cleaning domestic coil

    Thanks guys, as aHVAC service tech I know about indoor and out door coil cleaners, they work great! But the manufacturers have been having leaks in the indoor coils mainly, and they have to blame it on SOMEONE so they have chosen to blame it on the mildly acidic coil cleaners so now most...

    Ok snoots, but there is still a good amount of mouse nest imbedded in the fins of core.... that’s why I thought of boiling it ... I’ve blown it out with an air gun and got out all the loose stuff.

    Cleaning domestic coil

    Hi I have an original brass heater core and it was one wall of a mouse nest for years while in storage. It smells like mouse pee has anyone ever successfully cleaned one of these?
