    Took the line off compressor, poured half bottle of 91 proof rubbing alcohol in it. It’s working good. Just heard it cut out. Alternators charging right on the money. Still have the active code 46 . Had it for at least 6 yrs. It should hold out another couple months. New ecm power harness is $250 at Dealer, back ordered for 6 mos. $51 on eBay. They’re both universal need trimming and?? Original part # on Amazon for $69. 6-8 weeks shipping. That’s the ticket. Already have the injector harness. Eventually maybe a whole engine harness. Fine line between leaving it alone when it’s working good, and fixing it before it breaks. The Detroit Breakdown Rides again!!!

    I always filled the main line off the compressor with power service air line antifreeze when the temperature would crash ….. my air dryer is a mile from the compressor….

    they say it’s hard on your cartridge but not being a Cascadia it gets a cartridge spring and fall anyways.

    Filling it up. Local place is 3.49 gal. Lima Ohio’s 3.55 gal.
    I used mine up last year when I put the drier on. I think it needs a cartridge already. Had some water in the tanks, but it cleared up. I have that stuff sitting around forever. All swelled up bottle. Lol. I’m just glad I found the alcohol. Never had a problem with it. It evaporates anyway.

    The road we live on hasn't been plowed by YRB since December 23rd. My sister and I have been the only ones to clear it, the last 5 feet of snowfall, and many large drifts from the wind.
