I replaced the oil pan in my Impala this summer. The original one had a stripped oil plug with an oversize "cutter" plug installed at some point in its life. This was never something I liked and had started to leak. I was doing the rear main seal as well so it was time to deal with the oil pan...

Nice ride! I have the exact shock on my Impala. I also ran them on my Chevelle and Judge. For me, they have been an excellent shock for the money.

My old stomping grounds, nice pictures and write up. If you want an all off road trip that is not too arduous try the Goat Creek Trail sometime if you haven't already. It is essentially parallel to the trip you did but on an off road trail. You can also combine these two for a loop. I did Goat...

Theatre - Toklat (1971) Drive-In - Jaws (1975)

I use this in my older cars mixed at roughly 50/50. It is in my Impala right now. Never had any issues. I do not change on a schedule either for exactly the same reasons you have given. Prestone® All Vehicles Antifreeze + Coolant Concentrate...

There are two sites I use: https://lichess.org/ https://www.chess.com/ They both have game analysis features to help you improve. I also like the puzzle sections for learning tactics. Check these sites out and see what you think.

In Canada when we lost Hub Oil on that terrible day in my hometown that pretty much ended the re-refined oil sales in the Calgary region and most of Canada I believe which is probably why you don't see it here. I used re-refined oil once (in the mid 80's) in my Dodge D100, the cost delta for new...

Yes, my 1967 Impala SS is a convertible. It is just a really nice old car that still feels new (1967 new), runs excellent, smooth comfortable ride, handles great (for an old car) etc. I enjoy working on it when required, it is a simple and very nice car to work on. It has the perfect powertrain...

A mechanic friend of mine bought me this many years ago, I am still using it: https://shop.snapon.com/product/Hand-Cleaners-Water-Activated/Nitro-Gold-Hand-Cleaner/WOD2164ACSA It is really good. My next favorite hand cleaner, honestly, is Dawn dishwashing detergent. When the Snap-On runs out...

I have used this in a few of my Muncie equipped cars. It has been fine. It is available at NAPA. https://www.crcindustries.com/api-gl-4-multi-purpose-gear-oil-1-gal/ I also have used Redline MTL if you want a synthetic, it also has been fine for me...

I am a KYB Gas-A-Just fan, that is what I use on most of my cars when they need shocks. Currently I have a set on the Impala. For my trucks, historically I have replaced them with Bilstein. My last 2 trucks (1996 K1500 with Z71 and 2006 Sierra 1500 with Z71) I replaced the OE Z71 (off road...

https://votex-us.com/DP008 Not quite as long as the OE one but still might be suitable.

It wasn't today but I replaced the water pump on the Impala Saturday. NAPA (it was a Gates 43106 inside the box, that is fine, I like Gates) $61 CDN no core, took about an hour. Old one was not leaking but very noisy (rattling), I have not had that happen before, usually they just leak. Went to...

I do not. For daily drivers I have owned; Pontiac, Buick, GMC, Chevrolet, Dodge, VW, Toyota, Mazda. For muscle cars I have owned; Pontiac, Buick, Chevrolet, Ford and I look forward to perhaps one day having an old Mopar. Current considerations if the Tacoma reaches end of life before me are a...

There is never any concern with having too many cores other than physical fit of the new radiator. Sometimes the tanks are wider to accommodate the additional core(s) and this can cause issues with mounting back in the stock location. This is something you can establish before you buy. If the...

Yes fine oils, but they are very expensive (for me) and no rebate potential. Canadian Tire frequently has oil at 45% off plus if you time it right there are manufacturer rebates as well. A long long time ago (late 90's) I used to get Esso XD3 semi-syn in 0w30 at a good deal from the local farm...

I forgot about their house brand, thanks.

Canadian Tire had the M1 AFE 0w30 on sale a few months back, it periodically goes on sale. That is really the only cost effective 0w30 offering for us in Canada when it is on sale. I generally use 0w30 whenever 5w30 is called for. I used it exclusively in my 2006 GMC 5.3L Sierra, year round...

Do you have a picture of the oil pan available? What oil filter are you using? Do you have an aftermarket engine oil cooler?
