Re: Coolant leak

If your seeing it on both sheds it might be the head gaskets. They tend leak in the back of the cyl heads. Travelling down the block.

Many of you service your trucks/cars at dealerships or local mechanic shops that charge an arm and a leg. I can do the same job for much less- no catch. To make things more conven...

Re: What did you do to your rig today?

I believe its the sway bar links causing the problem. Since they installed those metal cups that hold the bushing there is no give from the bushing. It causes more strain on the sway bar link points This problem only seems to happen with the xterras that have those type of sway bar links. I would sw...

Re: Leaky Rear Diff

On my behalf I apologize for his retarded behaviour. You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your co-workers? Y...
