Use Deoit D5

What could be done is to drain and replace the power steering fluid. A stethoscope would be a great help here. Could use a simple hose... Regrease all the serpentine belt pulleys except the ac and add some refresh grease by removing gently the rubber seals or replace with new. Nanolub surface...

This rotation only noise might be the rear end generating a high frequency pitch. Does the pitch become louder ascending a hill under a heavy acceleration? I had this issue once with a remedy of a fluid change with Red Line Light Shock Proof gear oil including about 4 to 5 ounces of Nanotech...

I have two LS 04 & 06 with the same issue. The 06 has about 120k purchased at 65k and $1xxxx later. The harsh shift into reverse gear was a continuous issue when the hammering of the rearend & joints to rubber couplings was solved by enlarging the transmission lines diameter to 5/8 ID hose. I...

Hi, after cooling system work is complete and cold, I fill the degas tank about an inch from the top and start the engine. McMaster-Carr pn# 47205K37 90° valve closed & cap 16lb rating on the degas tank. As the engine warms feel the rad hose gain pressure. The engine is warming the air and...

The hose location and the single fabric braid caused to look elsewhere then oem parts. I had shorter throttle body hose failure show up only when the engine was summer freeway ran. Check out ebay auction # 135595473850.

On the hot coolant tap that runs to the throttle body, I found a 1/4" steel braided hydraulic hose will fit tightly clamped by a PEK crimpes ring and routed under the intake manifold PS back the throttle body. Clamped 2x on the front cover because of the hose rigidity. It was a one and done...

Good Job!

Thanks!

I'm glad you had good service from the plastic cooling parts and improvising an override fan swirch. The thermostat retaining ear can be reinforced with a countersunk 4-40 screws which seal fine with a #42 drill. As for the plastic cooling parts they're all 6061 aluminum now. When the mystery...

Go invest in a Fluke infra-red thermometer and point it at the exhaust manifold covers when fully warmed up. I'll find those two locations are the hottest parts in the engine bay. The manifold covers have one mica sheet sandwiched by two aluminum shells that are to shield the heat method. That...
