    rear heater core questions

    the blow out took out the plastic shield that protects the soft lines, whatever the soft lines are. Maybe they are less than soft, I wish I knew what the OEM ones were. the work involved in bypassing it is less than 2 min and less than $2. The hard lines are right next to each other so I just...

    new car maintenance guide

    I am a BMW guy but I needed a tow rig so I thought I would get one that I like so I can daily drive it. So, I just bought a 2001 high millage (227K) Yukon that needs a little work. I am putting together a little list for myself for when I get some time to play. I know a lot with old BMW's but...
