    No heat rear 100 series

    Now that I have bypassed my front heater core I noticed I'm not getting any heat from my rear unit. Any tricks or thoughts? I plugged the front core from the T but left the rear hoses connected. It is blowing but cold.

    Steamed windows! Heater core?

    So my slight radiator leak is not the only problem, now I have a full on steam room going on in the cabin. My plan is to bypass the heater core today but I'm likely in for a bigger job. Is there a good link around for replacing the core?

    SO now that I have the play in the steering corrected (inner and outer tie rods) I have a small amount of play when I grab the tire at 6 & 12 and push and pull. Just a hair, and a slight clink. I can see the wheel move just a tiny bit. Am I looking at a wheel bearing preload or a lower ball...

    How to choose a new floor jack?

    I had to leave my floor jack behind in my last move. Honestly I've never had to buy one as most seemed to last forever. (Good ol' days I know) With all the new "Junk" on the market how do I choose a good quality floor jack? Might as well buy some new jack stands too, same question.
