    Tried that, only thing that was found was a slight shimmy while in the worm hole. And a slight over heating problem in 1955

    Checked TSB's and couldnot find anything on a PCM reflash, didn't find anything on the condition either. So what are your thought on the OTC scanner? Starting to think it isn't up to par anymore, but it is the latest version (3.0)

    Whoops, didn't notice that you said that you changed rotors too. In that case, CheckThisOut (sorry, don't know your name) is most likely correct. But also make sure you have a clean mounting surface as well. always clean rust or debrise from the hub surface before installing new rotors. Sorry...

    I'm guessing that the pulsation was not there before, but uneven torquing of lugnuts can cause that to happen. Also, if you removed the rotors while repairing (assuming they are knock off rotors) check and see if and debris is between the rotor and the hub assembly

    Not fully understanding what benifit someone would get from making something like this up would be, but that's besides the point. Global, that is a great idea, I never thought of that. Even though I did throw receipts away, I did however always get a year end statement for my taxes. Luckily I...

    Wow, some people can be really cynical. And the purpose of making up a story like is? Hmmm, guess there isn't one. And as far as the others who had their boxes taken, I have no idea what their circumstances are. And for the record, my box was not "repossesed". I turned it back in to avoid any...

    Besides, I'm not saying that my answer is the correct one. Just one of the many possibilities. As anyone knows, you can't diagnose a problem over a computer without even looking at the car. I just thought I would give a quick opinion. But if some people want to be sticklers about it, let me ask...

    Not saying that just water will make it cold literally, but run colder than a 50/50 mixture. Water dissipates heat faster that anti-freeze (basic car knowledge). Hence running straight water through your cooling system, your car is less likely to reach normal operating tempature

    Usually the simplest answer is the correct one. Check to see if you are running straight water or if is a mix of 50/50. Running just water will make it run cold. Also check your fan clutch, as anyone knows the newer GMs with the electronic fan clutch is a bad design (if it is a GM). What kind of...

Lawyer is filing papers in a day or two, and maybe I will get my money back within my lifetime. But thanks for the input guys. Anyways...

    Not sure if this is the correct place to start this thread, or if it has been done before. But if anyone has any car questions, or help diagnosing an unusual problem. Just ask and I will do my best to answer, or maybe someone else can as well.

    I talked to a lawyer and he told me in order to sue him, I have to know where he is. So far no luck finding him, but it has only been a month now. Kinda hard to keep up with slinging wrenches and kids while doing that. But I am trying. Also got to thinking about it, but why in the he11 did I buy...

    Major tool brand horror story

    There are about 8 or 9 other people who lost their toolbox on his route, but by luck my box was worth more than what was "owed" on it. So it wasn't a repo, they basicly bought it back from me so to say. Nowhere near what I am out of coures, but neverless it wasn't a repo. Sad to say, but I think...

    Usually paid with cash, and like a dumb a** I tossed receipts in the trash after a few weeks. Hind sight is 20/20 as they say, live and learn.

    Major tool brand horror story

    This is a long story, but I'll make short. About 5 years ago I bought a "major tool brand" toolbox from one of the many trustworthy guys that visit us mechanics in those large trucks. Needless to say, but after paying the box off I was informed by the tool manufacturer that about half of the...
