Lower radiator hose was mush.

 

I'm just at 59k miles on mine and 15 years old , the local Goodyear wants $500 for belts and hoses

Did my 60k service last year when it had 55k on it and according to Goodyear my hoses and belts were good

 

That's good. Idk why mine were mush. I know I had to replace tires due to dry rot and they still had tread. At least now I can back up to feeder on wet ground but mpg. Dropped.
Got a bunch of smaller hoses on this engine.
When I was at Lincoln Mercury dealer I had to do the hose jobs. They sucked. Just get a box of hoses and search and replace.

 

Well that answers 2 questions.
1 the truck will go 115 mph
2 the truck will not survive a ditch jump

I replaced the belt at 6 years, 120k still looked new. It is now the spare. Hoses still are in good shape. I think it is because I don't wash the truck.

 

That Tacoma flew !!!

Belts look good even the supercharger belt , the hoses look good also . I just don't want to wait until its to late !!

 

Just get it changed at the dealer and you don't have to worry about it

 

Just got back from the car stereo store I had my system installed and had them install the remote subwoofer volume control . now the sub volume is within easy reach to lower the volume if needed

 

afternoon guys!

 

Afternoon Greg !!

 

Saturday is my Friday except every other week when it's Friday ... I mean Friday is Friday every other week.

Got it?

Keep it billable.

Still blowing here ... 33mph gusting to 56mph. I just removed the drift in front of garage door when I got home. Need to check on that again this afternoon before wife comes home. Wind supposed to die down this evening, only to return Thursday night/Friday morning. Little Skipperke girl is freaking out from the noise, she's gonna need a snuggle I think.

 

yep it's after noon it's like 4:45

 

Wind and snow together don't sound like fun !!

Its blowing hard here also , we've got a strong Santa Ana wind right now . sustained. 10-15mph and gusts 50-60mph

 

Afternoon Chris !!

 

Hey Chuck hope all is well. We keep getting vsome warmer weather Im going to get the car going. Still don't know what I'm going to do either drive it or sell it.

 

Doing well today , some aches & pains but not bad . we've got warmer weather starting tomorrow with mid 80 deg temps !!

Don't sell the Camaro ,please keep it you'll regret it later down the road if you sell it

Heck I've had my Camaro 17 years !!

 

Well I got most hoses replaced. Radiators needed it. 1 smaller one was close. Leaving heater hoses and 2 coolant hoses to oil filter housing.
Tstat replaced .Taking a break before changing belt.

 

Yep I've had it about the same amount of time. I do know once gone it could never be replaced. I just can't bring myself to spend the money to finish it probably around another 7k

 

my new fiberglass hood is ready to be picked up ,they just called a few min ago !!!

 

Same here , I've spent a lot of money on my Camaro !!

 

Thankfully not actually snowing, but blowing and drifting the stuff already down. My buddy actually got stuck high centered in a snowdrift last night. Drifted snow can be worse than sand.
