Squirrels Got Me Good
I do that too along with the Critter Ridder. I use a piece of 2X4 to keep the hood open about 4". An air filter box is a critter condo. Mice and rats just love them. Over the years I've found numerus nests in them. They also use them for food storage; I even found one filled with green poison bait pellets.

The top connector has a tab you push down as you pull them apart. The bottom connector has the white lever that you pull up on; this will sperate the connector. I did a lot of rabbit hunting when I live in Rhode Island.

I feel your pain. I have an S60 Volvo in my back yard That I'm saving for my granddaughter that the rabbits were munching on. They've taken out an O2 sensor, cam position sensor, and a transmission speed sensor. Now I try to keep them at bay with a spray I get from Home Depot called Havahart Critter Ridder 3145. I spray the wires about once every two weeks. You may want to invest in a terminal removal tool set. They are less than $20 and will make the job quick and easy. There are also a few how to videos on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+depin+a+connector

Replacing the Cooling System
It's there to stop the convertor from draining out. It restricts fluid flow and could fail and cause the trans fluid to overheat and burn up the transmission. If your trans has been upgraded the fluid should then flow when started in park. Don't replace it...remove it.

rear brakes adjusting to tight
To test if one of those things is causing a hydraulic problem, opening the bleeder screw at one of the rear wheel brake cylinders will release any pressure and increased brake fluid volume in the rear braking system. This would allow the springs to return the brake shoes to a retracted position. If there is an increase in pressure you may see brake fluid squirt out, not dribble out when the bleeder screw is opened.

Replacing the Cooling System
I carry spare hoes under my back seat. These are the Gate's part numbers and the prices at O'Reilly auto parts. upper radiator hose...part# 22645... cost $33.99 lower radiator hose...part# 22082... cost $24.99 both heater hoses'... part# 28467... cost $18.99 each 90° hose....................... part# 20338... cost $14.99 You could get an extra heater hose and cut the 90° off of it to use where one is called for then use the straight part for the transmission heat exchanger. The 90° and heater hoses are 5/8" (.63") inside diameter.

You're welcome to join us in the spring at Annett's Mono Village just outside of Bridgeport, CA. It's about 350 miles from 93277 up the 99 and over to the 395, unless you can sneak through Yosemite.

Will do. Ohm test between the ground and brake terminal at the 7 terminal connector. If it doesn't show a short or open circuit, then put 12 volts to the system, go to each wheel and listen for a hum. The hum is the electromagnet working. I use a booster battery with jumper wires for this. Be careful doing this. One of the guys we camp with did this to his fiver. It is up so high that he has a wood box as an extra step to get to the first step of the fiver's stairs.

Did you check the members' map? You can stop off at Yellowstone NP on the way out. Do these trips while you can because when you get older health issues will put an end to them. I was planning a trip to New England but the cost of the toll roads, I-80 I-90 I-95, for a truck pulling a 2 axle trailer was a deal breaker. I'm trying to talk my wife into another road trip to Iowa then may be on to Wisconsin and Michigan when fuel prices drop.

Some people are just insecure and prefer the anonymity a good face diaper gives. If they are wearing designer face diapers, then it's a fashion statement.

From The Epoch Times December 15-20, 2021: "Unlike conventional vacccines that provide immunity, COVID vaccines merely reduces symptom severity." From The Epoch Times December 15-20, 2021: "A study published in the Nov. 8, 2021, edition of the journal Circulation noted "dramatic changes" in the heart and blood vessels following a COVID-19 vaccine."

- Radiator leak
A "backer plate" for a radiator is found in the same area of the parts bin with the engine "throssell rods" and "muffler bearings". They are also sold on Ebay. - It's awfully quiet around here.
