Well, I've finally gotten myself an Isuzu, and I'm working to get a few things squared away to get it 100% into shape. The truck came from Florida, and the heater core has been bypassed, presumably because it was leaking, but I suppose it's technically possible that someone did that so that the the core wouldn't be hot all the time, making the A/C work better (yeah right). I figure I'll hook it back up and be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't smell like coolant.
Anyhow, while digging about online, I found the following instruction list from BroncoDave042163 in this old thread:
My question comes down to #s 12 and 13, which refer to the instrument panel, but I assume are actually for the dash itself? Also, the truck has A/C, so I'm guessing there's more to it, such as evacuating the A/C system and then re-charging it?
Perhaps I just need to leave well enough alone?
