    Intermittent Starting Issue and apparent power loss.

    Suggest you follow the advice of Boostedbus: have batt tested, buy new if needed, clean batt posts of corrosion, check condition of batt cables. If new batt is suggested, Costco offers the best value. They only carry Interstate. Costco does not install new batts, but you are allowed to swap out...

    Need Info on Coolant and Oil

    If you have an Owner's Manual, the info you are asking about is included. The manual will show the recommended oil type, quantity, viscosity, and filter. (IT WON'T INCLUDE WHAT OIL IS BEING POURED INTO YOUR EXPY.)

    Battery light on

    From your readings, the batt is low. It's no wonder the alt reading is low, and the batt light is on. Don't try to charge a low batt with the alternator. The alt is a maintainer. (Yes, it is technically a charger.) Use a batt charger, and not a trickle charger, to charge the batt. You need...

    Battery light on

    If ¥ou have volt/ohm meter, connect it to your batt, engine 'off': take a reading. Should be above 12.5V. If not, batt is low charged. Next, keep meter connected to batt, start engine: should read 14+V. If so, your alternator is working. If the reading is above 13.8V, then batt light should...

    Battery light on

    Could be your battery is failing. How old is the battery? Your amp readings indicate the alternator is working. Take the battery in to most auto stores for a free charge/load test. Any reading above 13.2 V is your alternator production. In theory, a fully charged battery can read 13.2 V...

    How long did your Battery Last?

    Supporting 07navi, most batteries were made by Johnson Controls, or their affiliates. Not much difference in any brand of Gold Series batteries. Johnson Controls was bought out by Brookfield Business Partners in 2018. I have found the best battery value is offered by Costco selling only...

    Cooling problems

    A simple check for a breached cooling system: if the overflow reservoir level is elevated when hot, and does not lower during cool-down, there is air in the system preventing a return siphon to occur. A breach does not have to be a "blown' head gasket, it can be any loose hose connection, or...

    Cooling problems

    If exhaust gases are in the coolant, there are simple test kits/tools available from most auto stores. https://www.2carpros.com/articles/head-gasket-blown-test

    Cooling problems

    Losing coolant.... not in oil..... possible head gasket rupture, and coolant is going out the tail pipe (?).

    Preferred Battery for a Gen 1 Expy???

    Good choice...Interstate/Costco. Interstate is all that Costco carries. Comparable to most batteries on the market. Costco price is the best. Costco does not install batterie, but that shouldn't be a big deal. Just swap out the old with the new in the parking lot, and save a trip back for...
