Maybe he had it set up to drain the crosote into the barrel under the chimney??

I am glad thaty things are going good for them. It really sucks to have problems on a mission like that.

Your bleeders oozing fluid is 100% normal.The only time they would spurt fluid is if there is some pressure on the system.

Too bad it wasn't a 650, then it might heve the Cummins in it. Next thing you know Michael will want a 6.7 after he gets to know it a bit!!

That or until you get to 20 mph.

That sounds like a good plan.

Unless you are like me. I cannot sleep in a moving vehicle.

No matter what it rurns out to be the head needs to come off anyhow. Then you can see the extent of the damage.

Check for combustion gasses in the coolant, but that won't tell you much other than you have a leak. Your next bet would be to run a compression test to determine which cylinder is the problem and which one to concentrate on when you pull the head.

The huge gap on the plugs you see may not have been put in that way. The gap will grow as the plug gets used. The wrong plugs may have contributed to the large gap, but I have seen them go in with .030 gap and come out a .100.

Copy and paste. The software does it automatically.

Here is another one:

Probably not. The first thig to check and clean is the MAF sensor. If that doesn't do it oxygen sensors are known to cause the lean readings. Check the simple things first.

I know the feeling. When I was working one of the last jobs I was on I wound up with one day off in seven weeks working nights, no less. You get to where you don't know or care what day it is anymore.......

I know of a guy that had a GM vehicle that had the same thing happen. The previous owner (or somebody) mixed Dex with the green stuff and he had the same problem.

A code P0171 may mean that one or more of the following has happened: The MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor is dirty or faulty Note: The use of "oiled" air filters may cause the MAF to become dirty if the filter is over-oiled. There is also an issue with some vehicles where the MAF sensors leak the silicone potting material used to protect the circuitry. There could be a vacuum leak downstream of the MAF sensor Possible cracked vacuum or PCV line/connection Faulty or stuck open PCV valve Failed or faulty oxygen sensor (bank 1, sensor 1) Sticking/plugged or failed fuel injector Low fuel pressure (possible plugged/dirty fuel filter!) Exhaust leak between engine and first oxygen sensor Read more at: http://www.obd-codes.com/p0171 Copyright © OBD-Codes.com PO174: In the vast majority of cases, simply cleaning the MAF sensor does the trick. Consult your service manual for it's location if you need help. I find it's best to take it off and spray it with electronics cleaner or brake cleaner. Make sure you are careful not to damage the MAF sensor, and make sure it's dry before reinstalling Inspect all vacuum and PCV hoses, replace if necessary Check for a dirty fuel filter and proper fuel pressure Read more at: http://www.obd-codes.com/p0174 Copyright © OBD-Codes.com

The cat on mine was just in front of the muffler and it was 3" in and 4" out.

Try opening a bleeder and after a few seconds close it on one of the calipers and see what they both feel like. If they start turning easier then you know it is hydraulic in nature. If not, then it must be mechanical. Since you have all new slides and pins along with new calipers it is doubtful that the problem is any of those. If by chance the bleeders squirt just a bit then I would suspect a master cylinder problem first. You may have a piston in it (there are two pistons) not returning all the way.

My laptop did something similar to that. Turned out the hard drive failed. I don't suppose you use G-Mail do you? If you did then your address book would also be on their server.

Just put a large enough jump drive in and then click on your folders you want to keep and send them to the jump drive. Once you get another computer then just copy them to the new one. Also keep the jump drive with the folders on it and you will have the folders forever (or until you loose the jump drive).

Like I said, my '96 had a cat on it and it was not a Kommifornia truck.

Looks to be a mix of ethylene glycol and dex, correct?

Not a problem.... I know how those things seem to go. Just let me know what you figure out.

That would do it! I was thinking you meant one of the lines that is not under the valve cover.

What is the seat like and the headliner like? Also, how much? I can contact my friend and if he is interested you two can work out the details.
