Welcome.......and keep the pictures of the improvements coming!

That oughta keep you out of trouble for a while :yahoo:

Don't you just luv all the experience that you get from fighting everything! Keep plugging away.....it'll give up and go smoothly

be sure to let us know what the problem was/is and how you fixed it.....

Hate to see you get stranded, but don't do like I did on my "89 & start "replacing stuff".... after about $200 worth of sensors at $50 a pop.....I found out the battery cable was nearly corroded all the way thru about 20" from the battery---the plastic coating looked fine so I never suspected...

If you want it to LOOK better........(A) go with bigger tires/lift to accomodate tires..... If you want it to perform better....(B) swap to a bigger engine..... OR.......do.........(A) & (B)..................for the time being........... but i drive a street-truck...what do i know ;missingteeth;

O.K.......forget my 500 word thesis..... try this instead.....unbolt the pan just enuff to SPRAY THE GAP WITH BRAKE CLEANER TO FLUSH ALL THE OIL OFF THE AREA to put a large bead of rtvin--bolt it back up tight, wait a day. cross fingers/toes, & hope to God it works! ;missingteeth;

no.....no.....shane_.....You're on a much higher level there......key word is "redneck" (we're thinking JB Weld/coat hangers/etc.....) take it down about 5 notches.....then get back with us.... ;missingteeth;

well.....since "this thread wouldn't exist if".... (you AIN'T GONNA stop a pressurized oil leak with 30 pounds of rtv or anything else--small non-oil pressure leaks can be stopped that way---)..use spray-on carb/brake cleaner to remove oil from the area to determine WHERE the leak is coming from...

I feel for ya......let's hope the fiance doesn't overheat waiting her turn.... :pissedoff:

Firm.....yet helpful reply considering lack of detail by Poster....

yep...sounds bad...my 350V8 gets 15mpg in town...you gotta remember though--ecach traffic light take 1mpg from what you'd normally get...(I can average 20mpg on the road...go into town & get stopped at 6 traffic lights--and the mpg-readout willslowly drop to 12mpg within 20 minutes of driving in...

well....use a center-punch to mark the middle of the bolt to help the drill(bit) start drilling easier.......if you could get a left-handed drill(bit)--it might back out the rest of the broken bolt while you are drilling a hole in it for the easy out to fit in!

let's hope it's a bad/cracked overflow hose or cracked coolant jug first....or a pinhole in the radiator that causes the coolant to evaporate before it drips on the ground....

cross country.........................:icon_surprised: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
