Does it need a certain time to dry or cure after I reinstall before I can fill with coolant and drive?

I'm starting a job there Tuesday so I'll be picking it up along with the radiator. Should I still apply RTV, and what formula is suggested?

If it breaks you can try compressed air to push it and if worse comes to worse remove the dipstick tube and pull it out. The parts stores should have it in stock for about 12$. Another trick would be to use a fairly long would screw then maybe you can pull it out.

I had previously used O' Reillys brand water neck sealant, I've used it twice and still has a slow leak. I believe that leak exacerbated the leak in the radiator.

I do believe that I have found the gasket. Victor Reinz part# C31392.

I cannot locate a gasket for the water neck. This is where the upper radiator house meets the block. I'm going to install a new radiator and want to flush the block and refill with 50% dIstilled and antifreeze but want to make sure I have all leaks taken care of. Any advice

The cost of the gaskets themselves is not too high. It's the labor that kills it. If it was my car and I couldn't do it myself or have a friend help for a reasonable price then a head gasket means my car is done. Hate to say it but if the tenant can't do it himself or with your help he's gonna...

Formula Shell. Pennzoil is also in bulk & eco box. Usually by request for pennzoil.

129 for fluid exchange and then 70 for the pan drop filter and gasket. Then 25 off for a donation to the mda so it would have been about 185

It was the managers that said it wasn't possible and I was in no position to argue.

Guest came in requesting this service. I believed I was capable of handling but very little info or guides are available. They said since trans pan ran vertical we wouldn't do it. I was rather disappointed. Any info would be appreciated.

To the OP, many differentials are not equipped with a magnetic plug. The location on the Blazers plug is prone to rounding out due to it's location and was most likely replaced when the last service was performed. I wouldn't consider that too much of a problem personally.

I've done power steering by request but it's not actually one of the services we offer. And the center I work at actually has a policy regarding brake fluid. We are not even supposed to open the reservoir.

I work at Jiffy Lube and wouldn't ever suggest a service based on fluid appearance. I usually just try to inform guests of vehicle manufacturer recommendations. We don't actually flush the trans either, it's more of an exchange. Then of course there is the drain and fills as well.
