    Coolant leak

    Found a rather large amount of coolant under the truck, which seems to be coming from the reservoir tank itself - a rusty old metal thing, all bubbled paint around a [useless] 'view' porthole. Question: can I smear some sealant around the spot, & if so, what kind? Also, anyone have any idea of...

    Excellent source for truck parts

    I was reading a recent issue of "Tow Truck Journal" [did I ever mention I'm a compulsive reader?] yesterday, while waiting for the guys to fix the AC in the truck. While they were calling parts stores & dealers to find a part, I read of a new site to locate truck parts: Heavy Duty Truck Parts...

It was diagnosed on the computer, no codes, nothing wrong, everything looks just right. Had the fuel filter changed, ran out fuel in tank with a quart of Diesel...

Was feeling confident, until I turned on the lights (it was still daylight) and none of the markers on the box lit up - Murphy's Law, right?

    I'm getting seriously stoned, lately

    or at least the windshield is! Are there any do-it-yourself repair kits for the chips? Or is a new windshield the only option?

    An update

    Some months ago, I posted a query about a repair on my van, (wheel bearing), that didn't last very long. Based on the replies here, and the opinion of my trusted mechanic, I felt the original repair was defective, and so informed the shop that made the first repair. Now, I'd like to say that the...

    Getting my bearings

    Two days ago, the bearing in the front passenger wheel on my Dodge van went bad - again. It had been replaced in mid February, less than 60 days earlier. I asked the mech who replaced it whether the first repair was defective, & all he would say was that it shouldn't have gone bad this fast. (Is...
