  1. lol I guess that will work. I would have swapped the old bottom tank over to the 'new' radiator.
  2. Trump went through quite a few press secretaries himself. Yes the job is a challenge when you have to explain what he 'really means' every time he opens his mouth. The perfect press secretary resume would say "Willing to sell my soul and sink to any level"
  3. They are too busy running. As the IDF over runs the Gaza Strip they can count them.
  4. Well I said 33,000 so I guess we get similar tailored news reports, eh?
  5. I find running normal is about a needle width above half way on the 'run range'. Does it idle at about the half way mark? What do you do to get it to over heat?
  6. The brake light lights with the ignition on, only to show that the bulb works. There is a pressure switch in the hydraulic system that alerts the driver with that red light if there is a failure in one of the two circuits. It also lights if the hand brake is left on. Get your hand brake working, you life and others may depend on it. Oil pressure is vital to the engine. The oil pressure sender is just forward and above the starter and to the rear of the oil filter. Pull the Yellow/Black wire off and hold against the block with the ignition on. The red light should come on. If it does, the sender is bad, replace it. Fuel Gauge. At the tank ground the Yellow wire with the ignition on. The gauge should read FULL. 1/ If it does check the Black wire near it is good. Make a ground wire and touch the Black wire terminal. If the gauge begins to work then the Black ground wire is bad. If no change the sender in the tank is bad. 2/ If it still does not read then the Yellow wiring forward to the gauge or the gauge may be bad.
  7. A leak won't cause over heating until the coolant level drops drastically and it can't circulate. Never cheap out on thermostats. Spend $8-$10 and get a good one. A cheap thermostat can cause a severe overheating problem leading to a warped head and blown head gasket. Is that worth it? If the heater is leaking have you by passed it by joining the two heater hoses???? If you have make sure that one of the hoses is plugged so there is no circulation. Now... define overheating. Where on the gauge does the needle read?
  8. I agree. Again it's hatred that blinds them to reality. Egypt wants none of it. Maybe they have learned something.
  9. I tin the lug and the copper wire, assemble, then crimp, heat with torch and touch with solder. The last battery I got had side terminals so went to wrecking yard and got side mount cables from Chevy Lumina. Positive to starter and the negative was too long, but had really nice lug on it so I ran it to the starter bolt. Look how friggin thick the cable is compared to the stock one on the left !!!
  10. The charge light is connected to the battery on one side and the alternator on the other. When the ignition is turned on power flows from the battery into the alternator to ground. When running and charging there is 12v on both sides of the lamp and everything is equal and lamp does not light. What about the oil pressure and the brake warning light? Do they come on before starting? All three are powered from the same source.
  11. Change it when it starts making noise. It's got a long way to go yet. The L series have a provision for checking cam timing. You can even make an adjustment to correct it. Funny but the Z series do not have this. Probably because chains don't stretch enough to matter.
  12. It was about three years old when I was born so I grew up with a lot of it. Usually after an attack Israel would strike back and almost always humiliate the aggressor by destroying their army, men and taking land away or all three. You look and say to yourself WTF? Why would you attack someone without knowing you had a good chance of winning? I think it's hate, it blinds the Arabs to the reality of things. They hate each other, can't get along with each other, can't co-operate with each other and want to be the big cheese in the Middle East that kicked the Jews out. To add salt to the wound look what the Jews have made of their country in the last 75 years while the ones around them are shit holes. (figuratively speaking) They could have got along and shared in some of the prosperity, but nooooo!
  13. On line first I came to. If it's really 50,000 or 20,000 fine. It's a large number. I believe prior warning was given. Not everyone in the world can just up stakes and move. And move where? Egypt wasn't letting them in, ocean the other way and Israel the other two. No food no water no transportation, walk to where?
  14. Power from the light switch into the gauges is a Green?blue wire and it's the #4 pin on the gauge cluster. The illumination control (dimmer knob) provides the ground on the #2 pin on the Green/Black wire. Could be the dimmer switch. Find the Green black wire on the dimmer and ground it and the lights should come on. If they do the dimmer is at fault. If not then the problem is in the gauges wiring. Try unplugging the 12 pin connector in the back of the gauge cluster and plugging it back in. This will clean and seat the contacts.
