The driver's side, side tank on the radiator in my 1998 Chevrolet K3500 with the 7.4L has cracked. GM no longer offers a radiator for this truck so I was wondering what aftermarket brand of radiator has worked well for you? I have used Murrey ones on our 92 Cavaliers that only lasted a few...

I have these two. They both work very well...

Yes they do. Years ago I bought my 98 Chevy K1500 brand new. I didn't feel like doing the first greasing of the front end and related parts so I took it to the dealer where I bought the truck. I had bought the OEM service manual for the truck so I knew where all of the grease fittings were...

Prices like that are why I do a lot of my own repairs. I have been screwed in the past on repairs and so has friends and family members. A few years ago a shop charged my son $146 in labor to replace a W spring in one side of the rear brakes on his 2003 Cavalier because they said the spring...

I have been watching that channel pretty much since he started it and he really knows his stuff. The shady first dealer screwed the original customer and every other owner after that. I would be surprised if they covered anything on that car at this point.

My 72 Ford LTD that was my first car in 1985.

My Robinair vacuum pump owner's manual says to change the oil after every use and that is what I have done since I bought it new in 2006 and it still runs great. I also use Robinair pump oil in it.

I wouldn't replace them unless they fail and when they do, I would only use Motorcraft if available. Ford Racing coils are probably the same as Ford and I would use those second.

If this is what the gauges show with the car running, then it's almost empty which means that the shop let most of the charge out if you had the pressures you said before taking it to the shop unless some component failed on the way over to the shop and let the charge out.

It depends on what module in each vehicle displays the Transmission temp and what modules this scanner is able to access on each vehicle. Most cheap scanners cannot access all of the modules on these modern vehicles. They usually only access the ECM, ABS, and SRS and that is it. If the...

Good to know. Manifold on his may be warped. I had that happen to the manifold hose on one of my vehicles and it wouldn't seal any longer no matter what I did.

Are those sealing washers the same thickness because they look like they are. Your compressor holes and the manifold that attaches to the compressor are different depths. This looks like the exact setup that my 92 Cavalier uses and it takes two different thickness of washers to seal this...

O2 sensors can get lazy over time and usually won't throw a code until they are dead, almost dead, or whatever the criteria is for that vehicle for setting a CEL. The only way to know if they are switching correctly is to monitor them in live data. The pre-cat ones should switch fairly rapidly...

I have never used Anti-seize on spark plug threads and I've been changing plugs for over 40 years. I've only had a couple of plugs that were hard to come out and one actually broke but this was on an aluminum head 2.2L Chevrolet engine that had been overheated once. The first time I had...

I have this watch and love it. I also have about four others of this brand. The guy who sells them is an actual diver who does it for a living.

Congratulations on your retirement. I did 26 years of Federal Law Enforcement and it took me a while to get used to being retired. It's been almost 7 years since retirement, and I wouldn't give it up for anything.

These are pretty good for the price. They run Autel software. I have the D1 version which is slightly more expensive but I think their capabilities are about the same...

The problem is that CKN is famous for browbeating those people you are talking about. He is always making negative comments about people who say they like driving their older car, buying an older car, or not wanting to pay the prices for a new car. He comes across as a "know it all" wealthy snob.

You have been harping on here forever about people making comments about new cars and not wanting to spend the money on them. You have no proof it's about car jealously. Maybe it's because people are smart with their money and don't see the value of what a new vehicle costs. Yes, there are...

That is probably about right on price. Probably higher if you buy local at the parts store or dealer.
