    Neighbors house on fire! / updated pics and cause

    Neighbors house on fire. I woke up to the sound of fireworks and when I looked outside I found this. The fire started in the garage. The firewall kept it from spreading to the rest of the house before the FD got there. Didn't get back to sleep till 4:00am from the adrenalin.

    Odd Creaking Noise From Driver Side Front Wheel

    Quite the coincidence that you have this problem. I had a similar problem yesterday on my Suburban that sounds the same as you describe. One of the bolts that holds the caliper assembly to the hub bearing was missing and the other one was loose. The whole caliper assembly was just dangling...

    R/O Rule Out BHG plz check my work

    OK I took a look with the scope and my naked eye. Piston head 1 and 2 look clean like they are made of a dull finish AL. Number 3 looks a little dirtier and 4, 5, 6 are full of carbon and cruddy with oil an such. :icon_cry:

    So I wound up on the operating table today

    You really don't want to squeeze or compress a boil or any other encapsulated infection. Like SC said you most likely ruptured that boil and spread the infection inward. Did your Dr tell you to take the antibiotics and use warm Epsom salt compresses on the boil? No.....! Probably not, give...

    R/O Rule Out BHG plz check my work

    So if the piston top looks clean and new than that is wrong (bad news). Basically the piston is being steam cleaned. If the piston top looks brown and cruddy that's ok. I don't have a boroscope but I think we have a endoscope at work. TY

    R/O Rule Out BHG plz check my work

    I replaced the rad cap and tested the new one. The radiator is new and the mating surface is smooth. I have a clutch fan. It is working as it should. It locks down at first start and than starts to release. As the temp rises during the idle I can hear the clutch fan engaging and moving more...

    R/O Rule Out BHG plz check my work

    I had a coolant spill over last weekend after a highway drive. The temp gauge did not move but I don't put much faith on that. The next day I checked the rad and it was full but the reservoir tank was empty. I went to autozone and rented a block test kit, coolant pressure kit, compression...

    If you don't want to pay the Toyota price try NAPA online. The majority of their hoses are made by Gates.

    Rough idle problems, power steering noise

    Pics first and then we help.... Only kidding. The power steering reservoir has a screen, it can become clogged and starve your PS pump for oil. See this thread about changing out the PS fluid and cleaning the screen. As far as the idle. You just replaced your HG so I would start by double...
