Selector seal?Ive always managed to do it without screwing things up so hopefully I can continue that streak.
Not sure what’s going on with the transmission. It leaked a ton of fluid out when I first pulled it out in 2008, just sitting on the floor attached to the engine. I figured it was the gasket but it’s something else. Seems to be leaking from the area of the front corner of the pan on the D side.
Big puddle of coolant on the floor under the radiator today. ugh
Check your hose clamps. I've had 2 fail this year. Seems they are not made as good as they once were. Rotted on the screw threads.
I had forgotten about AMK Products but rediscovered them a few days ago and ordered various bolts.i found the Totally Stainless body kit to be underwhelming. The bumper bolts are a good example. Not enough bolts or lock washers, and the regular washers they included were completely the wrong type and size. I had to toss them and spend $15 at the hardware store buying something that would work. One huge annoyance was the fact that the fender and hood bolts did not have the proper taper on the ends. Flat tipped bolts are impossible to start unless the holes are lined up perfectly.
