    head gasket in a can

    Although replacing the head gasket is the correct way, I have used a headgasket fix that has worked quite well for me. It's called Kseal and no I haven't used it on my Mark VIII but, my 4.3 C1500. I overheated the truck bad when the radiator blew out while driving on Rt78. So after I put in a...

    Tips for the next to change lower control arm

    I have done both of my second gen Marks uppers. The first I used a stubby ratchet and was able to loosen the drivers side without having to remove the Master Cylinder.

    Exhaust Thread Size

    My last 2nd Gen had the studs on the drivers side rust and break. Tried to find if they were metric or what but, then just took my cordless to drill em out. Then put 2 bolts through the holes and put nuts on em. Simple enough and no tapping or worrying about anything else that way.

    New to Forum with New Mark VIII

    Had a 1996 that had the battery drain problem. It is a typical problem being the amplifier stays on and drains the battery. The amp is mounted under the rear package tray. Don't remember the tests to check it but, it will give you something to google search to get started.
