Don't break off the heat shield that's in the way next to the 90deg. hose. While you are there do yourself a favor and replace the two turbo coolant hoses. Go ahead and remove the power steering reservoir and clean out the metal screen that's inside. The old tranny fluid congeals and clogs the...

The condenser fans are operated by the ac high pressure switch and by a water temp sensor on the thermostat housing. See the attachments. In my opinion and in conversations with a AC shop mechanic, the condenser fans in our cars are a necessary evil. If Toyota engineers put them in than...

Place the jiggle valve / air bleeder hole up 12:00 o'clock position. The hole or jiggle valve helps purge the coolant system of trapped air which rises to the top in the coolant pathways.

From what I have read on the forum the turbo on our cars acts like a muffler and helps muffle the fart can sound. My picks would be: MA70 HKS SPORT Turbo...Looks stock and users report it is quiet. Rust has been a issue in the past. Raptor Racing. Vendor here on the forum. George is...

Sad truth is Chevrolet has to go to these extremes to get you to buy a car.

When you install the new one run it through one of these heat sleeves. Available at your local auto parts store.

I cant believe you have a coolant leak, smoke and steam but you are driving around town and you keep chasing codes?? Oh yeah and lets not forget you have a idle problem as well. Please park the car, remove / move the power steering reservoir and replace the 90deg. hose, and both turbo lines...

Interested... please post!

I remember reading a article about how much engineering or science is put into the modern day headlamps. The placement of the filament in the housing, the orientation of the filament, the reflective material and the shape of the headlamp itself all work together for the right light pattern and...

Took a reading on the battery before installing it back in the car and it had dropped to 12.20V overnight just sitting in the back of my Exploder. I got my battery replaced yesterday... Free! Hope that solves the mystery or at least eliminates one possibility. On a side note there are a bundle...

^ You guessed right.... Drop volt testing what is that?... I looked it up and I found a lesson on youtube and here as well. Never knew about drop volt testing or how to do it. Noob in training here. Thanks for the info. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0THDAS1nws

Well I measured the alternator output all week. Stone cold in the morning, 14.5 volts. Hot after coming home from work, 13.8V. Car started fine all week and battery is up to 12.75 volts. I removed the alternator this morning and went to the auto parts store. They put it on the testing...

You were right. I removed the lower bracket bolt and had to use two hands and quite a lot of torque to move the alternator up and down a few times. I put the wrench on it and the nut came loose easily. I see your point. I measured the alternator all week hot and cold at several different...

^ Cant say, probably is. I should mention that I plan to add this cooler in addition to the stock tranny cooler in the rad. I changed my original post to clarify.

I was cruising the junk yard and I came across a small oil cooler that caught my eye. I thought this small oil cooler would be easy enough to mount and not block a lot of air flow. I should mention that I plan to add this cooler in addition to the stock tranny cooler in the rad. The...

Your insurance company who has to pay for the damages has a vested interest in defending you and their wallet. If you can't get any help from them get a traffic lawyer.

There is serious lack of common sense and decency. If the toilets were backed up and overflowing as reported you run the risk of infecting everyone on the plane (aka the Sardine Can) with viral, bacterial meningitis, Ecoli, Salmonella, Cryptosporidiosis in a closed and cramped environment...

Trapped in a plane for over 9 hours. What if it happened to you. When I heard and read this story it just pissed me off. Have we become so spineless, so afraid of the rule of law in the USA that 47 citizens would allow themselves to be held hostage, incarcerated, jailed against their wills on...
