1. Robinair digital micron gauge Robinair has released the RAVG-1 Digital Micron Gauge with the industry's ﬁrst multicolor backlight providing an instant indicator of acceptable vacuum or leakage. The backlight shows green, yellow or red for faster reading and diagnosis of an A/C system , indicating a system leak or proper vacuum. The patent-pending design employs a sophisticated micro-electromechanical sensor (MEMS) Pirani type sensor with ability to read atmosphere down to 10 microns. The gauge can measure vacuum pressure in microns, mmHg, inHg, mBar, Pascals or Torr for near-universal applications, and is encased in an impact and water resistant case with a protective rubber boot. Robinair's RAVG-1 kit includes a carrying case and tee adapters or inline connectors (1/4" MFL x ¼" MFL and ¼" FFL x ¼" MFL versions.) Secured by a magnetic hook or manifold connection, the large display will always be accessible and in view when in use, allowing for faster testing and readouts. Battery power eliminates the need for cumbersome cables while automatic shutoff helps prolong battery life. Learn more at www.robinair.com 1. 2. 3. Ford Engine Installation Kit 2.

Technicians replace engines every day, and most would admit that nothing is more frustrating than getting elbow deep in a repair before realizing they don't have a part they need, sending them rushing to order a replacement. Ford is making this job a little easier with the Engine Installation Kit - a resource that easily identiﬁes these ancillary installation part numbers using just the Vehicle Identiﬁcation Number (VIN). The Engine Installation Kit Website can be found at www.fordparts.com, and can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for even the busiest of techs. The Engine Installation Kit was built to provide technicians with an easy-to-print list of commonly replaced parts - a cheat sheet of sorts - to help them avoid the pitfalls of engine replacement, mainly missing vital parts. In addition, the parts listing within the kit simpliﬁes the gas engine repair quoting process, as techs and service writers can quickly access all of the parts needed to give an accurate quote the ﬁrst time. And as an added assurance, genuine Ford remanufactured engines always include the latest engineering enhancements.
