For future reference: Pull Grill and Front Bumper. Temporarily remove high pressure line from power steering gear. Cooler line with a wee bit of persuasion can be then made to pass over the top of the power steering gear and then withdraw out from the frame rail. Finicky but doable. Cheers Nobby

Is it possible to R and R the power steering line that loops into the frame rail and back without dismantling radiator and shroud etc? Looks to me like it will not shimmy out of their easily. Well the blown one will LOL but not so sure about getting a new one in? Cheers Nobby

I'm running pretty much stock and like the 3.42 with stock tires. When towing it does create a nice rev bands for 3th and 4th, towing or not. Truck came with 265's and it was too much towing. Going back to 245's definitely improved things. I used to work on a Square Rigged Sailing Ship that...

Huh never really thought about this, so my truck was a GM buyback with engine replacement in 2003. Remind me whereabouts is the Navistar Logo in the valley supposed to be? Cheers Nobby

I went with: Gauge - Mcmaster Carr - 3846k451 at 15.00 Tube - Mcmaster Carr - 52355K51 and I used compression fittings with the brass ferule reinforcer for tube all Mcmaster also. No isolater or snubber, but note I only have the Heath HO Pump. The tube is Teflon heavy wall good for 580PSI and...

Sorry things are real busy workwise right now, tis the season for boating and breaking down. Regarding the use of OAT antifreeze, when it first came out there was a lot of chatter about trucks with Red Metal Radiators springing leaks soon after changing and it was primarily the solder that was...

G-05 is Hybrid it's a mix of Inorganic and Organic technology. Personally I have never tried mixing it with green and really have no desire to find out.

The high mileage AF's are Organic Acid in technology and will have behave in manner the same as Dexcool, sludging when mixing with green etc. In the marine field I steer clear of the Organic Acid's they are corrosive to coppers, brasses and solders etc and hence shorten heat exchanger...

Oops, sorry your right. I got mixed up with Gear Vendors, scratch that idea then.

How about going with an Underdrive? That's what I've been pondering with my 3.42's. Wonder if US Gear would change out your unit? Cheers Nobby

The updated part number on the GM Tee is 12522867. Chevy Impala IIRC, you have to wonder why in the hell GM cannot figure out updating their part numbers for the Trucks etc. What is tough with this is that the Tee is 3/4, 3/4, 5/8 and the dorman Y shaped Tee 800-422 is 5/8, 5/8, 3/4 all so...

I've been running a FIA, interchangeable Winter and Bug Screen cover for years now and like them. They come in a genric or custom fit. I'd say go for the custom fit. Cheers Nobby

LOL well checked again today and behind the carpet is now wet. I either missed it or the core went literally yesterday and had not had a chance to leak into the cab until sat overnight. Anyways heater core on order. Seems there is conflicting opinion out there on dash removal can it be done...

Yeah I did take a good look inside and it was all fine.

Yeah that was my thought as well. I am trying to decide whether the coolant I am tasting is merely residual from a leak I had at the heater hose T's up top or is in fact a leak. Hard to tell in this weather so much water dripping around the truck in general it's hard to pin things down without...

Yeah I know, but I am looking for a workvan and of course would want a diesel.

Huh, can you get an hour reading of these newer dashes?

KBB puts it at $10,000 in good condition. To be honest my immediate reaction was $5000 is too low, what's wrong with it. Cheers Nobby

Is it plausible for a leak in the heater core to be showing out of the evaporator drain rather than inside? Cab is dry inside and not really smelling coolant or seeing greasyness but the evap drain tube is dripping coolant. Cheers Nobby

Would this be an LLY rated at 250hp and would the transmission be a 4 speed and hence a 4L85E? (The Dash picture shows 3 and D for the shifter). Would $5000.00 be an OK price for one with 150,000 on the clock and any reason to not to buy one? Cheers Nobby
