Eagle_Adam Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Good to see the axle sorted, when ur mechanic re-did the seals he diddnt top off the gear oil? Link to comment
hobospyder Posted April 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Good to see the axle sorted, when ur mechanic re-did the seals he diddnt top off the gear oil? no he left after the axles were sorted. He had to get back home. I also had to get the rotors and calipers back on and take her for a short drive because the washers behind the seals got a little muffed up taking out the seals both times. But the gear oil got drained and refilled this weekend (saturday, sunday was golf day) just didn't post about it. Took her to bellingham and back down chuckanut sunday morning to stretch her legs. I think she's set for summer except tranny fluid and maybe a coolant flush Link to comment
hobospyder Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Hey so, I'm wanting to do a coolant flush. Anything specific I should use or what? I've seen people just run a garden hose into the radiator and turn on the car letting it fill and run but I'm guessing that probably isn't a good idea and I'm sure there's probably chemicals that should be ran through. Am I right in this thinking? 1 Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I run the conventional green coolant 50/50 mix 1 Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I have used a hose on an old ranger I had, take the hoses off the inlet and outlet from the block and spray it through 3 Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Yes if you want to flush out the old crap just hose her til the water comes out clear, then drain and fill with coolant. 3 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Ok hose it is. Probably do that this weekend 2 Link to comment
snapp_hunter Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 they do make special detergents you can use, but in my experience they don't get out much more than a good 'ol garden hose 3 Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Simple green is what we use in diesel engines when oil or fuel gets mixed with coolant, it's as good as any top shelf detergents auto parts stores sell. 3 Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Distilled water mixed with the coolant. http://www.cgj.com/2013/07/10/aluminum-vs-copper-brass-radiator-price-and-maintenance/ 2 Link to comment

hobospyder Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 replaced the battery yesterday at nissanfest because i drained it by leaving the lights on when i went in. go hobo. oscarmeyer took a picture but i haven't seen it so not able to post it. today i woke up and after mowing the lawn and picking up some rims for carrie i started playing with little miss. alternator is tightened up (was loose and was getting random belt squeel) and flushed the coolant system and replaced the fluid, was due time for it. old coolant smelled like fish and was dark and murkey. put in some prestone premixed green coolant for the ease and then gave her a bath and drove her down to the river to stretch her legs and dry her off some before pulling her into the garage to sleep washed the car and sat in the sun to try to even out the sunburn i got yesterday watching the drift competition. don't think it worked. but after a while i felt the need to do something about the open holes left from removing the broken antenna so i could wash the gutter rail under it so i put the new one i had waiting down for the past two years or so now..... it's extendable 3 Link to comment
