    Head Gasket Sealer Query; Sludge In Oil, Always Low On Coolant...

    I suppose @ $10 how can I miss? My friend who's used it says part of the instructions is to disconnect the heater hoses, so it has a certain ability to block/clog stuff. I guess I'll be the guinea pig. Worst case? It'll keep leaking I suppose. Story... I bot a used oil boiler, and the studs...

    Camber Caster Bolt Kit; Which to Get? 1995 Suburban 4x4 2500

    so why does the alignment tech want to get the kit? I re read your post 3 times... So if my knockouts are knocked out, wouldn't the kit have been installed already? I can't imagine the tech is that lost... And the bushings are on their way out, but it was still centered, so actually looked...

    New Lift Pump Needed, Which To Buy? Delphi? AC Delco? Carter? Airtex?

    I don't wanna diss Leroy, I only hear good things about him, but the Walbro is totally different, and requires a new mount, fittings, rubber hose. So I wonder if it's worth the effort??? Leroy sent me clear pix of his install, I'll see if I can post them here

    Camber Caster Bolt Kit; Which to Get? 1995 Suburban 4x4 2500

    I looked at my Sub today, and the washers are def oblong/offset. I wish I would have talked to the alignment tech, but they asked me to step out of the shop. Neither FLAP can get the kit, which makes me wonder what the deal is??? (I can get it online, just not sure if I need it)

    Head Gasket Sealer Query; Sludge In Oil, Always Low On Coolant...

    My leak is tiny, and no ruff running... I have a friend w a 3400 Grand Am, 84 k, and he was losing Prestone pretty bad. It's always the intake manifold, and he threw in some Barrs leak, and problem solved. I even put my pressure tester on it, no leak at all! Not much pressure there of course, but...

    Is it just a simple steel clip? I have never seen one, and that's what wrecked my motor

    Camber Caster Bolt Kit; Which to Get? 1995 Suburban 4x4 2500

    I went for a wheel alignment today, and the shop amazingly didn't say I needed any front end parts. They did say I needed a caster camber kit. Amazing at 249k it's never been updated. anyways, they quoted $70 x 2 + $100 labor + the alignment. So I'll do the bolts myself, it's an easy job, but...

    Head Gasket Sealer Query; Sludge In Oil, Always Low On Coolant...

    Pulling the heads is a very big job, and if a bottle of magic can fix it, that's the way I'll go. Plus if the heads are cracked, a common issue I've been told, there's the added expense

    Oil Cooler Line Fitting C Clip Needed-Above Oil Filter

    This C clip is often re used, and it popped off and allowed the oil to spew out from my 94 Suburban. This happened 3.5 years ago just after returning from a 4400 mile trip from Phoenix via Florida. Anyhow, 3.5 years later, the engine is finally being changed, and I just need the C Clips, or do I...

    Timbren's... Any Good?

    I still think they're HIGHLY overrated! I also kinda' wonder about single leaf overload spring seen on many 3/4 and 1 ton pickups. 1 leaf? Really? Seems one would need 2 or 3 extras. I suppose GM or Ford or Chrysler engineers know the exact load carrying cap of any given leaf, be it a thick...
