Ridge vent is best.

I have used 303 for years with good results. In recent years I have used Rubber Care as it is cheaper. I apply monthly. When I had cracking on the inner side of the tires many years ago I started applying 303/Rubber Care there every oil change (~6-8 months). I guess the ozone gets to the inner...

For me, the Cerakote sandpaper was insufficient to remove all the crazed surface. I bought this sandpaper kit and wet sanded with grit from 400 to 10,000. I held the sandpaper holder disk in my hand to sand. I removed the headlight lens from the car which made it easier to sand. That has been 2...

Can you point me to more information?

I can get the Toyota filter for around $4-5 from the dealer when I buy four at a time. Has anyone compared the two?

With Cerakote I had to start with a courser grit than they supply, and gradually get finer. It took a long time to get it cleaned up. It looked great. But now 2 years later it is not as clear, though still much better than before. So I will use their guarantee and get new material and redo it...

I learned this from a YouTube video a guy did on his BMW. He sanded the rotors very aggressively with a disc sander. I did the same and thought I might have damaged the rotors. But after rebedding it braked great.

I usually brake softly. I get deposit buildup over time on the front rotors of my loaded Chevy Express RV van that weighs 9600 lb. I notice the buildup when I do a long hard brake after the brakes get hot. The steering starts to wobble. I check the rotor runout for warp and there is none. The...

And that's why I keep doing my own work at age 69.

I’m 800 miles away from home with planned return early April. Not sure I can find a place to drop the pan on my own while I’m here. I had been thinking about the Transgo TCC valve that you have mentioned in the past. Also check or replace TCC valve solenoid and connector /wiring. So is the...

I am using Maxlife and Lubeguard red. It’s at 50,000 since last change. I was planning to switch to Dexron VI.

160,000. A year ago it did the same hard shift on one key cycle. After stopping and restarting there was no hard shift. The light never came on.

Replaced throttle position sensor. It needed replacing as the internal return spring had failed. Tranny shifted fine for 60 miles. Then hard shift returned. Then 20 minutes later P0894 code was set. Clinebarger, please advise if you see this.

I got the Cerakote kit. Followed directions exactly and was disappointed in the result. I contacted them and they sent new sandpaper and finish. Thinking about it, I realized the sandpaper they provide and the instructions are not sufficient to remove bad UV damage. Bought this sandpaper kit and...

Transmission temp typically runs 130-150. Hard climb temps go to 180. Radiator and external cooler seem to be doing well.

Throttle by wire started in 2007 for the Express vans.

My 2006 has the cable throttle, not electronic throttle. TPS module screws onto the TB.

I don’t normally do the parts cannon approach but for $60 I will change the TPS (AC Delco part).

Fluid level good. Fluid & filter changed every 50k miles. Due for another fluid change now.

Vehicle: 2006 Chevy Express 3500, 6.0 engine, 4L80E transmission About a year ago I experienced a hard clunk shift from 1st-2nd gear. This happened several times during a 10 minute drive. No DTC code. After stopping the engine and restarting it has shifted fine ever since. Local transmission...
