My Gremlin has 3 sleeves in it. 401 blocks are hard to come by. Sleeving and machine shops in general is getting a lot more expensive. If you have to save it, you definitely can. If you decide not to, keep it stored properly and keep it well oiled so the cylinders don't rust up. There could...

I sure love watching some of the antics of the drivers there, especially in the bigger cities.

The bottom line is you need your AC system redone. You need to A. Take it to someone who knows what they are doing B Pay for it It's not rocket science. People can go back and forth on the internet for weeks or months about this and that but it isn't going to make your car cold inside.

Any place that does AC work can make them. Any mechanic that does AC has a hydra krimp in their tool box. I can make them. The crimp tool is $300. You can buy it and some shells and it's probably still cheaper than going somewhere. I make lines all the time. It's routine daily stuff. Call...

Crossthreading bolts is natures Loctite

This is a biggun here. Natures Dexcool.....LOL Have the guy open up the water pump and put a pic of it on here. Curious how it looks and if it's the original one. Thx

Go through everything, not just the pump. Check it all. If it hasn't been maintained well it may need more than one thing. Water pump, fan clutch, a flush. Gooped up radiator. Test your fan clutch. It's been hot in Florida and everywhere else. You need good airflow and coolant flow. If you...

Uh Oh

Pay for the FF or be prepared for the parts store garbage. And it is just that.

I absolutely believe him. I know from years of dealing with these monstrosities and forgetting half of what I ever saw that Chrysler changed things all the time and their engineers were definitely not drug tested. Just when you think you've seen it all, something else comes along and tops it...

The ones built for export to New Guinea had a Beryllium loaded photon encabulator on both leaf springs. They did this for 3 years. If the threaded 8/16" fitting for the sensor breaks, you will have to be tested for HIV, Measles, Rabies, Rickets and about 35 other things.

I use AC compressor spacers. I have tons of them. Chrysler had to do everything extra weird. That's just their culture. Like the 426 Hemi engine mounts and the intake manifold heater tube crap.

Wix are not even expensive

A long time ago I was bored and cut them all open. It looked to me like the Wix and Napa gold were identical. The Fram was pretty bad. Paper that just falls apart. Mobil 1 was good. Most were. Baldwins are good. Actually, I would use most of them but the Fram. Never did cut a Purolator open. I...

I'm not making fun of you, I am making fun of the internet. They will absolutely melt down over this in some places. Or the "wrong" hose clamps. Or flex tubes etc.
