Well, I'm a jerk.


Thank you for your service Outlaw, and all the rest of our Veterans in the CF.


I should have said this on Wed. I apologize for that.

Glorious day today! Came out to my garage to see a beautiful mix of colors on the floor. Yellow from a coolant leak and brown from a oil leak! Both at the same time and enough to cause concern! Coolant looks like it leaking from the lower radiator hose area. The oil i have no idea... there are pools of it on the trans cover and alot coming from RMS too. Just as I fix one thing something else pops up!

I just got done paying a mechanic $1500 to overhaul my cooling system.

-New water pump
-New radiator & cap
-New Thermostat, Thermostat housing, and heater pipe
-Rusted heater pipe water pump
-Ran coolant cleaner through the system to get the gunk out

and then new AC condenser while i had him there because the previous owner hit something and bent the front bumper frame inward so that it was touching the condenser. I don't think it really needed to be replaced but the thing's a 98 and it's got 150k miles. why not? They fixed the bumper anyhow so it's win win.

Do you think $730 parts/$650 in labor is decent? The guy working on it is nice but I think he's surprised I drive this thing.
