    Wheel Hub Maintenance

    you will also want to put anti seize on the wheel itself where it contacts the hub so the wheel doesn't freeze on which can happen at the worst of times (like when you have a flat on the side of the road and cant get the wheel off)

    ac clutch question. 5.4 EB

    to answer the question yes you can just change the clutch and you do not have to open the system to do so but I agree with Stamp, might as well change the whole thing

    Looking for any and all input on a decision

    yes but from the description it happened as he was driving it home. If the mechanic would have given it a good test drive after installing an oil pump and chain (like he should have) the problem would have made itself evident I have a hard time believing otherwise and actually if I was...

    Looking for any and all input on a decision

    I would not trust that guy to do any more work on it Did he even drive it after his work on it? He should have noticed the oil pressure issue the oil thins as the motor heats up causing the oil pressure to decrease. he knows this. He should have let it get hot then driven it around.

    Brake Line Replacement HELP!

    If it was in my shop I would just cut the brake line in half at a logical point and remove it. Purchase new bendable brake lines the approximate length and a union. Bend half the new lines using the old ones as a pattern. install both halves and connect with the union. Unless you can get it all...

    Interior Dash Paint (experience)

    I have the same problem with my 08 Eddie Bauer, the paint on the silver colored interior trim is so bad you can scratch it off with your fingernail I got the Colorbond paint for it, its correct color but the tint is slightly off I figure this is because the original has faded a bit, but it...

    2000 EB to 2017 eco boost - hesitant

    funny you mention those... when I worked for TRW in the hydraulic brake lab we developed something called "slip control boost" it was a way of charging the hybrid batteries through the energy of the vehicle braking. This system went on the Tahoe hybrid. GM expected to sell 20,000 of those the...

    2000 EB to 2017 eco boost - hesitant

    its not just V8's that's getting abandonded its pistons. The sister company I work for now makes pistons among other engine components (castings, called hardparts in the industry) the piston business is shrinking overall. Should be no surprise to anyone really

    08 Front brakes under pressure

    good points another common reason they go bad is because people will just let the caliper hang off them when changing the pads and this damages the lines prematurely (it kinks the line where the metal ferrule is crimped on at the hose bracket mount) you should always hang it off a hook made out...

    2000 EB to 2017 eco boost - hesitant

    they don't just test them on a dyno I was just explaining how dyno testing works. They also test them in real world conditions, pulling all kinds of loads over all kinds of terrain for more miles than you can imagine. I knew guys who's job it was to drive test vehicles from one end of the...
