Re: Does and donts
I think somewhere in the door bushing posts, someone said to lubricate the pins and bushings on a regular basis.
How does one clean the MAF?

Re: Does and donts
DO NOT USE ANY SORT OF STOP LEAK! This will usually lead to more problems.

Re: Does and donts
I just made the connection.....I added some tablet style stop leak a few weeks ago and last week the bearings in my water pump went out.
I then did something I'm not too proud of but I installed a forward flow water pump on my reverse flow system. Got too hot....coolant running against diaphram of thermostat, wouldn't open. Temporarily fixed by removing thermostat, but will replace with correct water pump before too long.

Re: Does and donts
Don't run your gas tank too low.
1. The mechanic who inspects my Blazer said that one of the two main reasons for fuel pump failure is running the tank empty. The gas in the tank keeps the fuel pump cool. No gas = no cooling = pump eventually burns out. 2. My Blazer wouldn't start after I shut it off. There was enough fuel in the tank to keep the engine running, but not enough to get it started.

Re: Does and donts
Don't use Fix-a-Flat. Keep some tire plugs and an air compressor in the vehicle.
