I did not. I ended up fixing the bracket/backing out the sheared off bolts. Figured we might need AC in the southern heat

Yes I will do that. Thanks

Thanks! Thats a good idea

Hey my Cruiser was originally showing a misfire on cylinder 2 and 3. Now it is showing 2, 3, 5, and 6. It is running and the oil looks fine. Any idea what range of issues this would be? I replace the coils and plugs with OEM parts about 6 months. Worried it is the head gasket. Any help would be...

Yeah sorry for the miss communication. The compressor was cockeyed....not bent. I use an independent mechanic. Been working on toyotas and lexus for 30+ yrs. I trust him but anything big, he stopped doing because he's in his late 60s and is by himself in the shop. I would do some of this stuff...

How much was the kit and to have it installed?

Thanks!

Did you ever find the torque specs for the coolant temperature sensor?

Does anyone know the torque specs for the coolant temperature sensor?

Thanks! That's what I thought but wanted to be 100% sure
