    best way to service power steering pump?

    The only reason i used Dexron VI is because it flows much better cold than some power steering fluids and Dex/Merc III. Besides winters are unpredictable here either it's to damn cold or not at all.

    What ate my front u joints? Dana 44

    Personally i don't use moly grease in bearings that use a roller or needle bearing.

But it does work...

    Rebuilt Cardone Crap

    Ac delco parts are pricey but that is what i try to use and standard brand parts are just OK. House brand brake parts and components are better than any cardone or dorman junk. A dorman oil cooler set cost my friend his engine in his blazer.

    I could choke a GM engineer!

    The quick disconnect heater hose connection on a LUE 4.3L Vortec mine was leaking and i went to replace it and the bastard broke off flush with the intake! It took me a hour of using a pin punch and a hammer to get it out not sure why in the hell they would use pot metal like material. But it...

    What tdc tool do y'all recommend?

    Breaker bar and a lisle compression gauge is all you need and set timing from no #1 cylinder at tdc and align with the timing mark and it should be fine.

    The 1.4 is better than the GM 3.1, 3.5, and 3.6 engines.
