If too much poutine is applied painful constriction may happen causing a reduction on #2 coolant flow. This can be corrected by the application of liberal amounts a of Molson Ex, preferably in the quart size. Conversely I have heard the use of poutine/curds to correct excessive flow cause by excessive Ex consumption.

The poutine I had came from whatever the major fast food chain is up there. It had hot dogs that were spicy in it and they called it "sausage".
That's one hell of a school trip! Certain places you go just speaking English is bad enough, although it is very annoying to actually have to READ your money to count it!

I have no idea what a major fast food chain in Montreal might be.

Really, as far south as MD? Their menu must be different!

Where did you go to school? This sounds exactly like the sort of thing one learns in university. I see this remedy practiced every weekend.

By the way the wife and I have an accepted offer on a place just west of Parham, if we can sell this house we might be neighbors-ish.

What is typical shop hour quote for replacement of the exhaust manifold? I know the parts run $100-150 or so.

Mine took a week or two to get out of production, The wait is well worth it.

I couldn't remember if they were 6 since 4ga is an upgrade. I was thinking of running new cables and crimping myself. I may just buy some welding wire and make everything

Only $800 and a 14 hour bus ride. All inclusive.

I had poutine at multiple places, but with spicy hot dogs at the fast food place. It's been about 4 years since I was there so I can't remotely recall the name. You Canadians do dress a lot nicer than we do. That's something I really noticed.

Mine they said 2 weeks and it was one week I think.
Tim is a great guy, I had a t case drop on my jeep when I got my mounts and it pulled my motor a little back and killed the edges of the bushings because the motor would slide forwards during acceleration.
He sent me a rebuild kit free of charge in 3 days.
Needless to say I took off the drop and got a hack n tap.
Been great ever since

Maybe having to ship to Alaska had something to do with my wait .. Everything takes longer for me to get stuff. If I was in the lower48, I'm sure it would of been sooner.
