brake service, discs & pads on all four corners (and both sensors, obviously). gone with textar discs and epads this time. glorious day for it today in Van :thumbup:

i could have taken pics for posterity but it's a dirty job and i just wanted to get it finished, so i didn't.

Replaced the lower coolant hose, but STILL losing coolant somewhere. Always all over the garage floor and coolant level keeps dropping.



Going to have to pull the fan on Saturday and try to find this new leak... or figure out why the new hose is still leaking. Old one was leaking at the lower connection... at least that is what it appeared like anyway. Hope it's just a bad radiator (replaced in 2016 by previous owner shop in VA). That is easier than hunting leaky hoses.


Did you changed the temp sensor on the hose? This happened in mine. Changed the hose still leaking. Found out it was the o ring on the temp sensor. Couldn’t find a replacement o ring. Changed the sensor instead. No more leak.

Sorry just realised you have different hose. Just ignore my comment above.

No prob. I have a new radiator on order. Should get it sometime this week.

Installed a p3 gauge in the drivers side vent by the window. Wasn't as hard as I figured it was going to be. I took my time taking the vent apart and no drama for a change :)

Looks nice so far. Haven't driven anywhere yet but the temperature gauge part which is what I bought it for works great. So I can at least see if the electric water pump has failed or not....

Replaced all three pulleys, both belts, and the radiator. Got pics, will post later.

Bought a belt stretch tool from Advanced Auto, the very popular aluminum one. Doesn't work on my car because of a massive balancer on the front of the crank pulley. $22 down the crapper. Got the AC belt on using 2 screwdrivers and a LOT of profanity.

There's a tool, that's less than $20, that is designed specifically to slip the belt on our cars. Last time I searched I found it on Amazon.

Even with a huge balancer?

The Lisle tool that I bought and couldn't use.

BTW, the CSF crap radiator that the shop in VA installed for the previous owner. They claimed they use OEM when I called them to inquire last week. Just goes to show you, there are still shops out there duping customers. I seriously doubt the previous owner would have been ok with a crap 3rd rate radiator and cheap oil and oil filter, but I've been wrong before I guess. I wonder how bad the customer got $raped$ on that deal.
