    Coolant leak from water pump bolt

    koda2000, Kseal is still holding up and have done numerous drives 20 miles or less. No coolant loss or any sign of clogging issues. I am sold on that product and will wait until spring to change water pump, timing cover, gears and chain. Thanks for the link and the insight to go that route I...

    Coolant leak from water pump bolt

    So per koda2000's advice, I went ahead and used k seal. It stopped the leak within a few minutes and seems to be holding. I have yet to make a longer drive but think I will go for a nice drive this morning. I think it needs to circulate a bit more and get it distributed throughout the cooling...

    98 explorer AC issues

    .I bought a 98 Eddie Bauer from a guy on craigslist and was a little too eager to hand over my hard earned cash, so have been chasing issues as they pop up but am still stuck on the AC on this rig. It was not blowing cold air and the clutch was not cycling at all. I added about 9 oz of R 134a...
