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

    I just helped a local shop, that I send work to if I don't want it, sell a $7k ticket on a 1986 Nissan 720 series pickup, manual transmission, 2.4 engine. It is a neighbor's truck that he has had since new and he loves the truck and does not want another truck. I got the shop to only do a 20%...

    Power Steering Hose Replacement

    You can use a vacuum pump, no problem. My way is without a vacuum pump. I have used my way for gobs of years. The biggest mistake people do is leaving the front tires on the ground when initially bleeding. Also, I left something out. When tires are in the air and you have turned stop to stop...

    Power Steering Hose Replacement

    There are several videos to watch on this. When hose installed, lift front tires off ground, refill slowly and with engine off turn steering slowly-stop to stop. Take your time and do not rush. With system full, set back on ground and start engine and again, turn very slowly. Add fluid as needed...

    *fixed*Antifreeze leak present for 3 days gone the next

    You can buy 50/50 pre mix coolant. Takes the guess work out of it. Plus, I am lazy.

    Plugs on the engine that can remove for draining. Besides freeze plugs. If they still have them anyway.

    Ready to Junk it; 2007 Yukon 5.3 EVAP

    Another small leak area is at the gas fill neck. New caps can fix for just a bit. Sometimes the cap threads in the neck of the fill tube get banged around from hanging the fill nozzle. Then the seal may not stay tight over time and a new cap fixes for a short period of time. Seen this problem 3...

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

    Looks worse on a cell phone. But, I went in to great detail because, let's face it, some members wouldn't know a choke thermostat if it bit 'em in the ass. Adjusting timing with a vacuum gauge? Wait! What? Adjusting a carb with a vacuum gauge? Again, what? Choke fast idle? C'mon now....speak...

    If you empty the entire system, should need about 3 gallons. Give or take. But would need to empty the engine.

    Snap On will score making a whole other set of tools that are not made for human hands. I'll be worm food by then.

    I know it as a Pre-heater pipe and can be that flexible tubing but this one has the formed solid metal one in perfect shape. You can see the top of it in the last pic of the vacuum gauge. DUH! :chewie::chewie:

    I know this is a trick question. Warm air pipe? At 73, I need hints/clues.

    It was small enough, that I knew I would not find it on the frame or ground. I had bought an assortment of those clips, 3-4 years ago.

    Welcome to the forum, from Oregon. Hopefully you will learn to ALWAYS post the vehicle info, instead of us guessing all the time. "Family Yukon" leaves me in the dark. Look for the corrosive stain from the weep hole, that will show a water pump leak, which is likely what you have.

    Right turn signal not working?

    @Joseph Garcia, I agree that there is likely no separate flasher unit and is likely in the BCM. Gonna be some you tube videos about this or someone will know for sure. Could be related to the board at the right rear frame area or even tied in to a trailer hook up problem...

    Right turn signal not working?

    Why did you not say this info in the beginning? Would not change my opinion of the LED's but when posting about a problem, it is IMPORTANT to share all of the info.

    Odometer magic?

    Welcome to the forum, from Oregon. If there is no pics, it did not happen. You put a different cluster in it.

    Right turn signal not working?

    I wish I could give you the answer but the only thing I can say is that, over and over and over again, I see posts like this because of changing to LED and then problems. I read somewhere that the reflective coating, on the inside of the housing, is not the same for OE and LED. That has nothing...
