took a pic today

It overheated and was leaking coolant yesterday. So today I replaced the cracked upper radiator hose, the cracked heater hose, the stuck thermostat and cracked gasket. I got it up to autozone, bought the parts and coolant for around 40 bucks. Borrowed there parking lot and there tools and got it all fixed up in around an hour and a half. It was my first time working under the hood myself

. The firestone wanted 180 for the parts and labor and wouldnt have it done for the next 6 hours. ha.

Sucks becuase I could really use it..

Put the rack on top and installed the led tailights. Rotation mechanism for the rack is all set up, now I just have to touch up the paint I scrathced the hell out of getting it all set up.

Need a different flasher too. Blinker is a little A.D.D.

I usually get the "Q". Why stay away?

**EugeneTheTJ** · 11-19-2009, 04:54 PM

I have never been a fan and it has failed to lubricate well in some of my friends engines, thus damaging parts. I know Castrol and RP work well from personal experience, so that is what I recommend.
