Being Neighborly

Filed under: Cars/Motorcycles/Trucks,Computers,Friends — Copa @ 3:49 pm

My neighbor knows I’m pretty handy with tools and can work on cars, so he stopped by this morning to ask my advice about a little problem he’s having with his Toyota pickup truck. It’s just a little work truck, but it gets really good gas mileage and having a pickup bed sure comes in handy for a lot of chores.

He’s been having trouble getting the air conditioning in his truck to work. Although it has not been all that hot this summer, there are times when you really appreciate having air conditioning as opposed to rolling down the windows, such as when it is pouring down rain or when you are stuck in traffic.

So I took a look at it and, like I suspected, it needs a new ac compressor. As luck would have it, I know of a good place online to buy auto ac parts, and we found what he needed by searching the site for Toyota AC Compressor. The right part came right up and we were able to order it online and have it shipped to his home.

When the part gets here I told him I’ll be glad to show him how to put it in. I don’t mind doing the work but it’s better if he learns from this, so I’ll show him how to do it.
