:x Well we did the old switcharoo with Summit and got the same 1" core for the second time. So, I went to Napa and told them about your 1 3/8" listed as 1" and they had in stock the one listed as 1". You guessed it, in the box was a 1". The man behind the counter suggested I ask you what the part nu...

HenryJ wrote:It has probably been about three months ago now since I checked the NAPA replacement. At that time it was the thicker core. Things change rapidly though.
BTW, their listing only showed it as a 1" core.

Are you saying NAPA listed a 1" core and sent a 1 3/8" ?

Horsehammerr

After reading your posts on the extra capacity improvement, I have simply been waiting for a good reason to change mine. I did start at NAPA and got the story that the one inch core was all they could get. So I did the multiple hours of searching to stumble on to Summit listing the 1.375 = 1 3/8" co...

I just read this whole post and seem to have missed one small detail. The part number or web site for the Extra Capacity Radiator, at 160,000 miles I've started leaking and need a new radiator. Would like to go with the ex.cap. style. Are those numbers and or addresses available ? PLEASE

There is only one thing that would make me get rid of mine. The absolute need of a longer bed. Ain't stretchin' it !

Thanks for the concern. I DO NOT drink alcohol, and there is no possibility of drug related stupid mistakes. This was simply a head up a dark hole problem. Excuse Me !

I know this because I could not locate the brake fluid bottle, only PS fluid. :blink: :x :crazy: So now I get ...

Horsehammerr

If it's not the ABS then you must have stuck/seized slide pins or stuck calipers or maybe both. Steve I cleaned and lubed all eight slide pins two days ago. That is not the problem. If either the pins or the calipers were stuck/seized , how would they free up and then restick/ reseize without usein...

Horsehammerr

Pull the ABS fuse and drive it around. This is safe to do, just remember that the ABS will not work at all. Does it still apply the brakes by itself? If the problem goes away get the ABS system checked out. I don't see how it could do it any other way since the brakes are a manual hydraulic system....

Horsehammerr

Rotors are good. I'll do a fluid change and look for water. Should the ABS lines be drained also ? I just cleaned and lubed the sliders yesterday and they are good. This " brakes on " thing happened again after only a couple of miles after . I'll give the ABS disco a try and let you know on both che...

Horsehammerr

Thanks for the reply Brule. I'm trying to figure out how brake fluid or wheel bearings could make the brakes engage on their own. That is what's happening .

Horsehammerr

Wheel bearings are solid and quiet. Have never changed brake fluid. Is there a proper way to do that?

Horsehammerr

Maybe I'm not saying this right. My brakes are coming on without pushing the brake peddle. I do mean all by them selves. What could make this happen ?

Horsehammerr

Having an odd problem here. My brakes seem to apply them selves at random times. I can feel my '02 CC slow down at any time with no apparent reason. When on cruise the accelerator comes on to compensate and this braking happens uphill, downhill, straight flat road or curves. I know it's the brakes s...

How far do you have your Torsion Bars cranked up ? I've had mine at 1 1/2" up for 70,000 miles now and simple lube every 3-6,000 miles has maintained all 4 ball joints. I replaced all 4 at 90,000 with what the dealer sold me.

In my opinion, our service personel and veterans don't get the thanks they deserve. Most don't understand. Dieing for our country is the last sacrifice.

Horsehammerr

Thanks for a " complete " explanation Steve.

And I never suggested that a sway bar had ANY effect on towing ability.

Horsehammerr

The rear sway bar will not help locate the rear axle for towing with extended shackles. Pulling a trailer the longer shackles may allow too much lateral movement and the driveshaft can rub the fuel tank. Ask Hobie how he knows ;) You should be able to find the tale of his experience. A track bar or...

Horsehammerr

I take it your running straight pipe exhaust with a "y" pipe to split into a dual tailpipe exit. Correct ?

Horsehammerr

The only thing a rear sway bar helps is Highway cornering. Very stable with very little cab lean. You will notice a titer steering and a little understeer but it is very controlable with practice.

Search the " Marvelous Mystery Lift " I think thats where I got my part #'s. I did reverse the application by putting the solid rear stops in front for a more firm bump.

Horsehammerr

I Think your speed is limited by RPM's. With 4.56 gears your RPM's are way up and the speed limiter function in our co mputer simply shuts down the fuel pump. The dealer can't do anything about that. They are not allowed to do ANY custom programing, not even for tire size. I tried on that one for ad...

I do like your idea of the vacuum valve on the heater core. That way it only allows water through to the heater core when the heat or defrost is applied.. Most winters it doesn't even get cold enough here to run the heater anyway. BTW the hi temp today was only 98 with 2.5 inches of rain. Tomorrow ...

Check out a Steering Stabilizer Kit on LMC.com. $ 59.95 and a nice smooth control feature all S-10's should have. I put one on my CC after going wider and taller tires. Much less wondering in wind on highway.

Horsehammerr

All I can say is read my specs. This whole setup works great for DD and sometime Off Road. Its not a rock climber or an off road racer but, I'm very comfortable in rock, sand, snow, mud, highway corners and hills. Check it out. Note I have no body lift.

My Hankook Dynapro ATm's never stop amazing me. Unbelievable wet, dry, snow and ice grip. I have not had a reason to hit the mud yet but , when all this ice and snow melt down, mud is on the way.

Sounds great but, I would have thought that the extra weight centered over the rear axle would have been optimum.

I've always looked things over so much that its habit. I look deeper when a LEAK is apparent. Always believed in " no leak, no error ". I'd still like to have some clue how the gear oil got out of my front end without leaking. 3/4 of a quart is a big leak.

Horsehammerr

As I said above, there have been NO LEAKS ANYWHERE. After putting 650 ml. in the diff. , the screeching and scrapeing stopped instantly. I took a 50 mile hot lap through these hills and stayed dry at all connections.

Horsehammerr

Well after sticking every finger that will fit in the hole, I can't find any oil level. No rust or loose pieces either, but no oil level detected.

I've had no leaks any where, so I guess the stuff just dried up.

What oil should go in there ?
