Joe you are a smart man sir. That’s a great idea that I never thought about.

The strut mount is under that area and if you drill it out and push the drill bit too far down you’ll end up drilling into the top rubber bushing in the mount. That would of course damage the mount and eventually cause that rubber piece in the top to fail in my opinion.

I don’t guess there is a better option or upgraded transmission then?

I’ve had a bad experience doing that before On a tranny that had miles on it. Are these good transmissions?

It sure drives good though. I like it. I’m just a little frustrated with what it has cost to fix things. 116,000 miles currently and also wondering when the transmission should be flushed and filter changed.

Thank you Joe. I haven’t spent the time to check it out yet. I’m thinking low Freon.

I am having an issue with what seems like a component in my ac system is freezing up on road trips. The air volume drops off almost completely until I press the ac button and allow it to thaw out. It smells like ice melting through the vents and eventually the air starts blowing again through...

My coolant bottle looked exactly the same and when I replaced it, I replaced the thermostat, coolant, and bottle together. I also removed the fluid from the cooling fan reservoir and replaced it with new fluid. My climate control valve I replaced myself 6 months ago with one I found at...

Gee whiz that degas bottle and thermostat was interesting. I did the bleeding process also. It needed a bit of coolant to finally behave.

That will be great for now

I ordered one from Rock auto two days ago. How long should I expect that to last?

Would this be an issue?

What kind of fluid goes in the fan reservoir?

I really like those wheels and tires. What are they called and/or where did you buy them? Are they the same size as stock?

My 2002 3.9 suddenly started overheating today. I drove yesterday 380 miles with no issues. This morning I decided to make a short trip and three miles from home and about 10 minutes into the trip the temperature spiked and reduced engine power displayed. There was no coolant in the degas...
