Well folks the car is all fixed up! After flushing the radiator replacing the tstat and replacing the radiator fan relay all is wonderful! Thanks for all the help guys!!Rogan I sent you an email!!

I will take a new pic and send it to ya! got an email address you want it to go to?

Very funny Rogan! Im not sure about the radiator being plugged up i will take it to the car wash after work and try to clean it out! Do you think it would be a good idea to flush the system while im there? If so whats the best way or stuff to use??

Hey guys i know its been a long time since ive been on but ive been working about 65 hours a week for 7 days a week!! Since my truck is down i have been driving my trusty ol 93 honda civic with a 1.5l non V-tec and this morning i noticed that the temp gauge was well above where it noramlly rides!! So i turned on the heater and it dropped down where it noramlly runs and it was blowing hot air. So then i turned off the heater and it slowly rose back up even doing 70 mph down the highway! It wont drop unless the heater is running. So im thinking a stuck thermostat??? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!!

No they have replaced the spark plugs if I remember correctly.

Alright folks my wifes new vehicle is a 2005 Dodge Durango 5.7 and its been in and out of the dealership since we bought it a month ago!!!:banghead::banghead::banghead: So Im lookin for some help!! When she runs it thru the automatic car wash and the water runs off the windshield towards the hood and the engine will start stumbling very bad and will stall if you let it. The dealership has replaced the cowl and cowl seal with the latest part the spark plug wires and the boots apparently that are separate from the spark plug wires.(never heard of a spark plug wire without a boot) So Im looking for some help since they cant seem to figure it out! Any help is greatly appreciated folks! Thank you.

Wow that thing is AWESOME!!!!

so the stock 12v cam wasnt right? and I dont quite understand the timing just yet with a ppump? should the injectors be repopped? or just adjust timing accordingly like you did?

Mr. Mindless how did you p-pump swap go? where did you get all your parts from?

So is P7100 a better pump? Or the VP? which one has better longevity and produces better/more power?

Well I ran thru the diagnosis process and everything checks out good! Thanks Mopar for the dummy proof step by step destruction's! It is a good thing to know that at least the electrical side is good, now I must save up the cash to order a new pump! Or p-pump??? Anyone on this site done this or have any experience with a 24v that's been p-pumped?

Why Thank you sir!

Well I trust this forum much more than any others!! Thanks Mopar!

We traded it in for a 2005 Dodge Durango Limited with a Hemi! My wife loves it!

Well I just had a bad day! While driving my truck passing someone up hill I lost all power so I coasted to the shoulder!:banghead: After checking for fuel at the injectors with #1 and #3 lines cracked loose and getting nothing I then went with the inlet line and broke it loose fuel sprayed everywhere! I called my buddy with his 2008 Chevy 1500 and with a tow strap we made it home!!!:banghead: Broke out the scanner and found a P0251 YIKES!!!:banghead: From what I found on this site that means I need a new VP44?!?!? Can someone please tell me I'm wrong??? If I'm not where is the best place to buy a new IP from? Thanks for the help in advance!

sorry about the late response I didnt get an email notification! Thank you for the time and info Flagman!!! I would love to report back that I got it fixed but my wife had a better idea and we traded it in two days ago. So problem fixed i guess!

Just thought I would wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! since Ive been working alot of OT and haven't had much time to spend visiting with everyone. I hope everyone's family and friends are blessed with health, safety and happiness!!! God Bless!!!:thumbup2:

Ok guys my wife tells me that her car 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5S wont defrost or heat up unless the car is moving down the street. If she stops at a stop sign or in traffic the car will stop blowing hot air?!?:banghead: Anyone have any great ideas on where to start with this problem? Thank you for any and all help!

I pulled my oil pan off about a year ago and I was able to use a cherry picker and leave the oil pickup on. I loosened the engine mount bolts disconnected the intercooler plumbing and removed the fan and shroud and the oil pan came right out. I used a new gasket with some ultra black RTV and I believe the torque in the oil pan bolts was 25 foot pounds. Which I think is too much because the gasket started to squeeze out. I recommended just using Ultra Black RTV and just use the old German torque. Good luck.

thank you Mopar. I visited my neighborhood friendly Matco tools man and bought a set of bits torx and Allen head to service brakes. So hopefully i have it covered.

Well chllngr528 I would have to agree with you about the 100 ton press that is over kill! When I was younger I worked in a tranny shop and we had a 20 ton press that worked great on anything from small pickups to one ton trucks. I also just a few years ago helped a buddy build a T56 for his Camaro and we used a 20 ton press and it worked great. The only thing that I know about the NV5600 is that the parts are hard to come by if you need any hard parts. I say go for it and good luck man!!!

So I am going back home in a couple of weeks and grandma needs the brakes replaced on her Mercury Mountaineer. My question is does anyone know what tools are needed to replace the front and rear brakes? There is no one down there that can tell me and i need to go down there prepared? Thanks guys!

Thank u for the info sir. I think I'm gonna try one out of a wrecking yard

Well thank u sir! I will have to now find the evap can so that I can pull a vacuum on it. Thank u for all the help sir!!!

i can honestly say i have never tried that approach with a dealership!! But i sure will next time. Thanks for the hint!!!
