    If you buy the clamp kits, the clamp kit for the d/s front, is the same kit for the p/s rear. The clamp kit for the d/s rear is the same kit for the p/s front. That is with the Dorman kits. The d/s rear clamp kit is the biggest PITA to install.

    I am gonna guess that the one broken bolt head you see is at the d/s rear. Whichever it is, unless the gasket is blown completely out, if is leaking at a broken bolt head area, when the metal gets heated and swells up, the leak may go away till cold engine restart again. The underneath looks...

    trying to save my ex's 2015 Suburban

    I don't know where you or the Suburban are but if close to the coast, the salt in the air can cause some of the described problems. Put a battery in it and check all ignition related wiring that see if you can get it to turn over. If so and does not start, use a small squirt of starting fluid...

    There are just some days I wish I didn't turn wrenches

    Landlord's son has a 2022 Prius Hybrid. I did an oil change and CAF and engine air filter and cleaned the MAF. Checked both coolant reservoirs. One for engine and one for Hybrid battery. Then I found out about and replaced the filter for the Hybrid battery assembly, under the rear seat area...

    2023 Suburban Premier

    Welcome to the forum, from Oregon. What is the 8th digit of your V.I.N.? Also, there is a sticker under the hood with the engine size on it. Did you buy this truck and not know the engine size?

    If they are selling that blue FJ Cruiser too, they will make up what they lost in profit on the Suburban. Those Cruisers sell for top dollar in CA.

    How did you know it was not an 8.1? The rest, I would assume is pretty standard.

    It would help to know where "out here" is. Maybe a link for the ad to review it. I am in Oregon and we don't see rust "OUT HERE" either.

    Check condition/dirty of all fluids that you can. Get any parts/repairs/maintenance tickets you can get. A CarFax if can. Bear in mind, my 2005 Tahoe is in extremely good shape with parts tickets for the work I have done but a CarFax will show nothing during my ownership because I did the work...

    Interesting Oil Tech Videos

    Yea, change the Valvoline R&P at 3k to 4k miles or 4 months, whichever comes first and watch the dipstick to see the old oil before drain and then compare to the next one. Plus, use a good quality filter. I prefer WIX Extreme filters but other members/people have their favorites.

    "Cap On....Cap Off....The Capper". If you did not know what I meant, then stay away from doing the job. Or, you are messing with me. Either way, anytime you drive, have the P/S cap on the reservoir. I mean "everybody and every cap". Clear enough????
