$75? Geez....

Just to throw some more info into this thread, I just had my stock copper/brass radiator recored and had it upgraded to a 3 row core. Cost me $560 at Mac's Radiator in Portland. For the standard 2 core recore it would have been around $400 or so. All the new radiators I could find were plastic...

I recently put a bouncy in my SR with leather. If you have an upholstery shop close by, I don't think it would be to hard for them to stretch the leather cover over the fabric seat pad. Then you just pop two holes in each side for the manual seat back frame to bolt up and you should be good to...

I had a Diamante once. Leaked coolant from the freeze plugs until one day it locked up driving home from work. Left it in a parking lot overnight, came back the next day, topped off the oil, filled the coolant and drove it home. Kept a spare gallon of coolant with me at all times after that...

I actually just had my injectors done. I'm just over 200k and they all passed with no problems at all. Flow rate, Ohms and spray pattern were all top notch. I should have just skipped the injector cleaning and just replaced the filters and seals. Would have saved me some money. At least I know...

Just looking for these myself. I think they are NLA. Last time I replaced mine I just got some hose from a local auto parts store and busted my knuckles getting them on. I'm guessing there is metric hose size that fits just right. But I never really looked into it.

Had Cooper AT3's on wifes Limited. Real noisy, I actually didn't realize just how loud until we switched to Yokohama Geolanders. Nice and quiet now. I preferred driving my Gen 2 over the Gen 3 because of how bad the drone was over long distances.

Yeah but how do you get the seat up to do the work?

Price?

I found a good set of videos for replacing the heads on the DOHC 6g74. Thought I would pass them along. Head Gasket https://youtu.be/hscpxN0Exs0 Lifters https://youtu.be/9feaFDSJGO4 Valve Seals https://youtu.be/17atJcsk5rE Cam Oil Seals https://youtu.be/prseecddLZI Valve Cover Gaskets...

I went and checked this one out tonight. Lots of problems. Huge oil leak, missing a bunch of little interior pieces, transfer case shifter needs new linkage( I could barely get it to switch into 4hi or lo), stereo whines from a bad alternator install or alternator noise, completely missing...

Those are "plugs" to let water out if the truck were to be flooded. They are usually sealed with the factory body sealing compound. Every car I have had, they functioned as moisture traps and were rusty. They actually might be some sort of lifting point for the assembly line. I've always...

When I have heads done, I take them to automotive machine shop. There they are checked for flatness and cracks, skimmed to clean up and/or flatten the mating surface, valve seats typically are recut with a three angle cut, and then the valves are lapped in. Most shops will replace valve stem...
