iirc that is dexcool. if it says in the front "for GM vehicles" it's dexcool. @Will L. can tell you for sure. when you get home you might consider doing a full flush and replacing it will good old fashioned green. at work I hated the fact that they went with orange/red coolant. when...

if you need to replace the hose, you might even drain it in a grassy area then quickly move the truck to pavement to get under there to do the work. that way there's no disaster epa mess in the parking lot LOL

you can do the repair in the auto parts parking lot but let it cool some first. and make sure there is no pressure on the cooling system. get you a clean drain pan and pop the hose off. try to catch as much coolant as possible. I do not recommend draining by the radiator drain if it hasn't...

it might also be that the hose is getting cut by the clamp. it looks like it's bulged a little behind the clamp. maybe get you a new set of clamps and a replacement hose and some coolant. what coolant are you using, that looks red like dexcool!! dexcool is the worst of the worst to...

New cam bolts and washers I would say. I would also take a drimmel and clean out the slots where the knockouts were. looks like the one you posted still has some material in there that would prevent the bolt from sliding in the slot

Here is a couple pics of his setup.

My son's 68 chevy doesn't have power steering and he really want it installed. I have done a conversion on an old 67 before simply by installing a box pump and brackets from a 70 model which all was a direct bolt up mod. his truck has an aftermarket AC installed which kinda hinders this. I...

I will have to crawl under there and measure it. I didn't think about it when I had it apart and should have measured them when I had it pulled apart. temps dropped overnight. it was in the low 70's yesterday afternoon and now it's 36 degrees and windy out there now! depending on when the...

is this engine oil or trans fluid leaking? if it's leaking on the threads, you just need to remove and put the pipe dope on the threads. most likely it's the clamp though.

Got some time today to fiddle with the shifter on his truck. only two bolts that hold the main part on the brackets. got the shifter pulled and layed out on the table where I could get a good look at it. didn't take any photos, but I noticed right away once I got it apart what the problem...

I'm still wondering why your glow plug light cycles on and off with the key on. to me something isn't right like maybe the GP controller is tripping. Maybe @Will L. can provide some info on that.

Almost looks like something from a brake rotor lathe. I bet you could implement it with yours and have an extra cutting bit holder for your lathe

Looking good. drive safe out there on those icy roads.

Looks like the return line or the cap has a leak. if you don't have any hose to replace with. in the plumbing section of home depot they have some that is a clearish orange that will fit. it's not rated for this use but will get you by. comes in a 10 foot section so if it blows again...

Were you at least able to get the window up for driving in the cold or rain?

The rear window might just be a fuse or circuit breaker in the fuse box. hope it's not the window motor. if all is good, place a hand on the door with the engine off and actuate the switch and see if your hear or feel the motor trying. might be a bad spot on the motor or the regulator stuck.

On a Hummer, is there any way to add a sort of funnel type deflector between a push guard and the grille to force air to go into the stack at those speeds? if it sits behind the push guard it won't be noticed at much for appearance. maybe even continue that funnel behind the grille up to the...

I've had decent luck getting the pentles out after a good hot bath in the ultrasonic cleaner. might also be able to loosen them by putting the nozzle in the freezer then using a quick blast with the propane torch, the outer part will expand before the pintle will and give you a moment to...

Verify the harmonic balancer is in good condition, they are engine killers and like to snap crankshafts. also the flexplate too. was there anything pulled apart or loosened on the engine during the transplant like the IP or timing components. These engines are externally balanced. if the HB...

Where exactly is that sensor located in your pic? that looks like something threaded into the block off plate behind the intake. I don't thing GM put anything there and that might be something aftermarket that's not in use. the temp sensor is usually on the drivers side head by the front of...
