Price the abs plumbing, controller etc. A flush is a good thing. Many people when doing pads just shove all that crap back into the master cylinder etc. Not me. Brake fluid is cheap!!
It is what it is. The truth sucks. This isn't the only Mopar forum I am on. People I've known for years (2001to be exact) post their experiences I keep track of the good and the bad.
And who is buying into FCA? Is it Renault? That name just screams "quality" just like it did in the 80's when...
Windshield guy told me anytime you use silicone make sure it is PURE silicone. If it has water in it it will rot the steel. That black windshield sealer is GTG.
Just because it comes out of the same pipeline doesn't mean it comes from the same refinery. Son of a son of a pipeliner, former gas hauler.
I do run 2oz of Marvel Mystery oil per every 5 gallons in my cars. 170K on one of them. Had the intake off of it the other day. The injectors look brand...
That sounds like rod knock induce by a crappy filter. I had rod knock on a 360 I rebuilt. It had a Melling hi-volume pump (not hi-pressure!) I broke it it with a Fram. It came off and a Pure1 went in it's place. Problem solved. It still had piston slap on #2. It went away when the motor warmed...
I am donning my fire suit. I am a big fan of Rotella semi synthetic diesel oil. I don't own a Hemi. I have run this in a '93 Corolla 1.8. At 246K I did the timing belt and valve cover gasket. That engine looked brand new on the inside! I was the second owner. I had every oil change from the...
Unless you read the fine print.............document all of your work like oil changes, scheduled maintenance etc. I had a friend that used to be a tech for a local Chrysler dealership. He did a big business deal and was cash flush. Put some money down on a new Dodge after hammering out the...
I dumped 500 gal of premium in a diesel tank once. 22, or 25,000 gallon tank. Also I added 7500 gal of diesel. Never heard of it damaging any engines. My boss didn't catch it until much later. It was my fault. It was a Hess tank. I'm sure there was a truck dumping diesel in there withing an hour...
I have a friend on the Moparts forum that built a 318 with a carb and built it with E85 as a steady diet in a '69 Barracuda. Running a 273 2bbl cam, 850 Thermoquad, Magnum heads, lots of compression, headers full length exhaust with no mufflers. He was a mad scientist. 29-31mpg with 2:73 gears...
Ex#1 bought a 2001 4.3 Silverado. They had to re-flash the computer. It pinged on 87. Took it in and the service manager showed me either in a TSB, or owner manual that it was fine to run 87 and to expect pinging. She ran 89 with no ping. He claimed it wouldn't hurt the engine. "I used to build...
As a former fuel hauler.......yes, you heard right. In the Nashville area E10 gas in the summer was called 7.8lb gas. In the winter it was switched to 9lb which is better for mileage. Outside Nashville and the surrounding counties 9lb is the norm. A year or 2 ago they quit selling 7.8 in the...
I'll dump what I may or may not know into this conversation. Dad had a 2001-ish Blazer. It ate fuel pumps. Mechanic who I went through automotive classes with in college told him that pump didn't like ethanol blends as it lacked the lubricity of non-ethanol. So living in Oklahoma he could buy...
