I took the Cruiser over to Wits' End today and Joey had a look. The fan clutch is fine and he doesn't think it's the head gasket (though he will test it). He found a split in the PHH and suggested I replace several smaller, old, original hoses and clamps. Sooo... thanks everyone for the...

So is this kit the complete hose kit (along with the PHH) I will need for under the manifold?

Wow.... CONVINCED!! I will just have to limp home tomorrow.... stopping about every 90 miles to cool down and add 2 gallons of water for 600 miles. This is going to be fun... Thanks so much.

OK... will NOT do... thanks!

Thanks... I'll get one!

This all sounds do-able.... I will get the PHH that sogafarm recommends and hand this job over to my mechanic friend. Meantime I have to drive 600 miles to get the beast home. I was going to pour in a bottle of Barr's Blown Headgasket Repair just to make the trip easier (hopefully). Thanks...

Hey All.... I just had a new Denzo radiator and thermostat installed because my '96 was overheating under load. It still overheats and now it's spitting coolant from somewhere under the manifold (see photos.. red arrows). I am no mechanic. Is this a heat gasket situation? During a trip from...

Well well well my fellow Oregonian. How interesting! My problem was exactly the same. In winter I literally had to "help" the windows up with my hands sometimes. Where exactly are you putting this spray? I'm going to try and get some today!!!

Well that's pretty funny!! Thanks for the tip!

Thanks... I will check it out for the other windows...

I just ordered one from the partsuq guys. Thanks again.

I'll grab one from them... the driver's one for now. My son just moved to Seattle. He got an engineering job in Kent. Hey loves it ip there.

Good to know that you've "been there" with this problem. Is there some sort of discounted source for these that you know of? Thanks! We like it very much here in Ashland. Been here?

Yeah... I was hoping to not spend that much money. Maybe that's the only answer??
