I am soon going to replace my intake and head gaskets on my 2001 Sierra 4.3, and am wondering what kind of coolant to put back in. Do I need to use Dex-cool or can I use plain old prestone.

  subscribe to alldata.com, that will have gm's brake bleeding procedure. and what you have to do likely varies, as if you just replaced a caliper and the MC didn't go dry, you most likely can just do a normal bleed on that corner, but if you disconnected lines at the MC or the abs unit, or let the MC run dry while doing work, you'll have to do a more extensive/complicated bleeding procedure.

  I'm tired of troubleshooting cold-weather start and idle issues with my '94 940. Time to scrap the friggin electronics for something that WORKS without giving me an aneurism. A pair of manual choke Webers to the rescue! Since it's a '94 I'll probably have to swipe the balance shaft out of my '92 parts car, since the chances of the '94 having a block-mounted distributor drive gear are slim to none ... and my luck is never that good when lots of work is involved! That way I can run an old boat engine distributor assembly with points. No more starting issues next winter!

  No pictures. Possible that the brand could make a difference, though I've always thought the numbers tell the story. All I know for sure is that his tires sure looked good.

  Tires of different brands may have different circumferences (or radius) even if they are the same size.
