    What the hell is going lately? I'm replacing my head gaskets and proved the need by having found all of my cylinders full of coolant.

    I followed all the instructions to the tee when I replaced the head gaskets trying to guess at a coolant leak about a year ago.

    Now, I found the radiator lower trans coolant line completely frozen to the radiator and it will not fkn budge (replacing/fixing a leak in my radiator presently).

    I rounded it off nicley with a very large set of channel locks. (my grip is not an issue-I maxed the truck stop grip measurement machine at the TA - [I believe the needle was pointing to Hercules] but mentioning the fact that I did pay 25 cents for that stupid measurement is shameless. Hence, no need for comment)

    Another car payment is not an option:th_skull:. I shall prevail!! :th_peaceout:"TRUE POWER!":th_thumbsup-wink:

    LIM gasket ever replaced?

    Only time you know the headgasket failed for sure is when you take the heads off you see the gasket failed.

    I guess I can buy a new transmission line. That fkr wont budge. I will remove it from the tranny.
    Maybe I can round that one off also.

    I bought some monster channel locks. Even though I have to replace the radiator and that line ($50), it's coming off! It's now a contest.
