Crap crap crap and more crap

[Rangerscott]

Vehicle: Got a coolant leak at my firewall where the two hoses go to my heater core. Also a main hose is leaking. Starter is going to shit cause the wiring is crappy. I re-used the old gaskets on my T-case and its leaking like a sieve now. My fault on that. I just stuck the new gears in to do a test run and never dropped it again.

Bike: Found some oilish crap plastic behind front wheel, under front wheel plastic, on tire, etc. Pretty sure its not from the bike cause I couldnt find any wet spots. I guess I rode over an oil spill. LOL The main coolant hose that connects both my rads is super soft and crimping itself. Rear brake resevoir is low. All brake pads probably need to be replaced. I dont want to change my fluid until I changed pads but I dont want to spend money on new brakes.

Heater core replacement = the suck

Time to trade it in.

Haha. I'm sure its just the hoses leaking. I kinda deformed the soft brass ends when I replaced the hoses awhile ago.

It's it's leaking in the engine compartment you're golden. If it's leaking inside the car then, new core = the suck ;)

Big time, I drove around without heat for 2 yrs in my camaro when it went, a guy at the shop told me he would rather eat broken glass than replace one :lol:

Hope its just the hose for your sake.

No shit. My S10 heater core went out and I had to remove my entire inside, dash, steering wheel, etc to get to it. Dumbest part was I had a 1998 S10 and the radiator shop showed 2 kinds of heater cores for S10s. I could get the one from 1980something-1997 or 1999-latest model. 1999+ was $130 and the 1997- was $30. I got the $30 one and the only difference was the two pipes where bent different so I switched the old pipes to the new heater core and it worked perfect.

Ya'll are a bunch of non-wrenching wieners! Just more things to add on to the To-Do list.

Going to go get a couple feet of rad hose and some speed bleeders.

Just bypass the heater core and buy a 12V little car heater.

I'll get an eskimo to breath on me.

heater cores ARENT fun. I swear up and down that when mine starts leaking, I do not care, that shit ISNT getting replaced. I'm absolutely bypassing the heater.

Well I need it cause I've had the windshield freeze up on my several times while driving.

Finally got someone at Autozone to find proof that I bought a battery from them. Bought it back in Nov '04. THe gold's have an 8 year warranty but are only free in the first 3 years. Suck. O well. I only had to pay $41 instead of $91. Also got some new batt cables.

Waiting on my "clicky starter" fix to arrive and my driver side window regulator. The harbor freight suction cups aren't holding up the glass like they used to. LOL
