I just did my rear main seal and that fixed my big oil leak but now iv got oil or coolant leaking from the head gasket area on passenger side. Somedays its clear like coolan other days its oil. I'm confused. I have a tempature problem to and have done all new cooling system parts and I still get up around 225-235*

For both. And other things, too.

For any of you with electrical experience and sound system experience, I'm going to be upgrading my sound soon, and I'm wondering if my regular battery will be ok to handle it. 2 500 watt amps, subs, and speakers. Nothing crazy. My camaro had alot more and a single battery but it was a yellow top if I remember right. I also plan on offroad lights and a winch way down the road but I can always do dual batteries then if needed, just wondering if it can handle a decent system as it is.

I've heard a lot of people talking about different tranny problems and I have read the replies but for some reason I have not come across any threads where anyone said that they actually lost third and overdrive. I went and got a new filter and gasket so I can drop my pan and change the filter & fluid while at the same time I was gonna pull the wires off one solenoid at a time & run a wire from my battery and touch the blade contact on each solenoid to see if they "click" so that I can rule out bad solenoids, but today while I was driving around town(keeping it under 40 in second) my speedometer and odometer stopped working then came back on a few hours later when I drove it again. Does this point to speed sensor problem? I see that there are 2 kinds of speed sensors- one with a metal type plunger & the other looks like about 2 or 3 inches long sealed unit type deal with a shaft like a pencil thickness. One is around thirty bucks the other over a hundred bucks. How would one know which"speed sensor" to buy if that's the problem> Havent dropped the pan yet- autozone couldn't find my filter and gasket so I went to napa & it was twice the $$$$ but got it anyway. Any tips?

What does it mean when people say "short block" and "long block" when referring to a 4.0? Any inline 6 seem pretty long to me
