Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

3.4 pulley and snout seal

this .. and . .

Drove six hours to my house in TX from Louisiana, got smoked by a civic si, I need more go fast mods.

Changed the plugs and plug wires in my Dad's Grand Am GT.

The back three were such a pain in the ass. Especially #1

And I think it needed a little more . .

The car has been sitting since December.

The can says to wait a week before waxing

Finally flushed out the dex cool and used Prestone Extended life universal. Also threw in a 180° thermostat for the summertime.



Looks like kool-aid. Dex-coolaid, yum.

how tough was it to flush it out/what did you flush it out with?

your kidding? right? ive posted how to flush your coolant, what, 50 times?

its easy.

I flush it with a garden hose. Flushing, and back flushing the radiator, engine and heater core separately to get every drop of dex-cool out. Couldn't get the radiator drain plug out so I just took off both rad hoses and flushed there. Hardest part was getting the thermostat bolts off. It took a propane torch heating it up 4 different times before it broke loose. I had to be careful not to snap the bolt off in the engine, so that's why it took a while. Patience means not having to drill it out and re-tap threads.

One thing I learned is to put the heat on full blast before starting. I did that on the impala with the 3.8 and the heater core flushed with the engine. On mine I had the hvac controls all the way cold and when I flushed the heater core (which came last) it still had pure dex-cool in it somehow.

Prestone Coolant $12.24 x2
$12.24
Stant Superstat $7.99
Thermostat Gasket $3.49

Subtotal $35.96
Tax $2.16
Total $38.12

Not bad for a full in depth flush and a fun few hours.

garden hose is your best friend, i recommend flushing the heater core seperate i hate heater cores now.
