Chiltons? Haynes? Another? I know with several of my past vehicles one was often much better than the other. Any opinions?
I had to replace the lower thermostat housing in my driveway today in 23* temps. I was driving to get a new battery as the the current one is not starting the truck at 5* morning temps. I was almost to the store when a billowing cloud of steam and a strong smell of antifreeze came from under the hood at a traffic light. I turned around and went home. Once it cooled enough to stop spraying coolant and steam I could hear a hiss when I compressed the upper radiator hose. I pulled the housing and it an obvious crack about 3" long at the rear welded seam.
My new 265/65/18 Terra Trac ATIIs are great. They are quiet on the highway, great in snow and a good AT tire as well. Now I just need to get my Quicklifts installed (not likely in this weather) and some wheel spacers for looks.
