They're real sloppy after 400,000 miles or so.

We had 2 in the area. But both are gone. Asking m g a reputable shop might be a good way to get a line on a roving mechanic. I've never had a lot of luck hiring things done. Most often.have to fix some things. The place that worked on the 1996 Suburban transmission was all over it. No...

The last 4L80E I had rebuilt was by circle track racers I think their warranty was 3 years unlimited mileage. They had confidence in their builds and didn't expect to see anything come back. I should call them about working on my truck. I don't know they'd do a housecall to get it...

Is it guaranteed? I would take it to where it was rebuilt and see if they stand behind their work. I'd do that ASAP. If you mess with it much, they might be less inclined to warranty any work.

Amsoil does have more than.1 trans fluid now. I've only used the older stuff. I don't know if they changed the formula when Dex 6 came out. I long for the days when I stocked one kind of trans fluid. One kind of coolant and mostly, one kind of oil.

I appreciate the thought. I've been walking, trying to keep my activity level up. Yesterday, my wife had to come pick me up in the car. I was only making it about 50' at a Crack before I had to stop and let my heartrate slow down.

On one of the vehicles, I had a spare something around. Drilled a hole and welded the bunge

Mine for the boat wasn't terribly slow. But that only held 4 quarts after the filter. An old inline 120 or 140

I'd recommend Amsoil ATF. I don't know if it was the fluid - I know, years ago, back in the 1990s some of my circle track racing friends swore by it. I changed the fluid in a friends car while they were on the mail route and they got another week or more out of it.

Hell, I'm willing to pay shop rate and supply about everything. Just because everything is blocked up & it easier to do things here. I have the fan, exhaust and inner fender off the truck. Need someone to pull the harmonic balancer and verify the Fluidampr I have is correct. I believe the...

I think the kit comes with the block off plate

I hate to guess, but I've seen them.last a long time with just a drip. Others fly apart and take out the radiator. I'm not sure if these water pumps are prone to the worst case scenario or not.

I can't givevan opinion on your water pumps. I don't know what's available or how they hold up. I always tried sticking with new ACDELCO I stay away from Rockauto. No customer service if you have any issue with the water pump - that's my experience, anyway. Rockauto was all good until...

In my experience, if your current thermostat is working. Don't mess with it. New doesn't = good

This seems like a game changer. First I heard of it. Center Mount to Side Mount Conversion High Flow Plenum...
