Went to change the air cleaner today. First time 15K miles.
Found out that some knuckleheads routed the aux house pressurized AC lines over the top of the Air Cleaner housing. Had to remove the bolts holding the Radiator fill tank to have enough room to get at the air cleaner. Loosened the hose clamp on the bottom of the fill tank, so I could twist the tank to get it out of the way. The hose came off and had a gallon of anti freeze on the garage floor. Took the time to extend the hose so this shouldn't be a problem in the future.
Took 2 hours to do a 10 minute job.
When the time comes, with 2 AC compressors and 2 alternators, the changing of the serpentine belts is going to be very interesting
