Roger, hope you are well today! Just got my vac pump and gages from Harbour Freight. They have a walk-in store about 18 miles from me. The gages are pretty cheesy mostly judged by the rough action on the valves. However, I will probably use them only a few times in my life (I am 60 after all) and they will pay for themselves on this one job. I'll let you know how the vac pump works. I bought the 2 stage oil pump which I got for $71.99 (20% off). It has a one year warranty. Again, can't go wrong because this one job is paying for the pump too.
I can't thank you enough for all the help you have given me and many others on this forum.
PS. I was wrong about the Denso condenser price. The $181 was for my Toyota Avalon. For my wife's RX300 I will pay much more. Looks like more than 2x more. I'm still checking prices but I will likely go with the Denso. If I don't go with Denso, can you recommend a supplier? What about CSF?
