After time moisture builds up within the brake lines.
Thus causing your brakes not to function properly.
Like when that one rear wheel locks and drags

Both my 99's have been drained of thier old and new installed. Made a BIG differance in braking too.
It is something that needs done at some point.

thank you, doing that next. since my oil sending unit is leaking i'll most likely have to change it right? Or can I take it off and clean it?

[xeroinfinity]

if it leaks around the threads use teflon tape on the threads.

[Drewet88]

Thanks. The oil sending unit holds the oil filter right? Or am I taking it off for no reason.

Never did do that coolant flush (started raining) and I couldn't figure which hose was the heater inlet hose for my Prestone Back-Flush thingy.

No the oil sending unit does not hold the oil filter in.
It is screwed on.
The oil sending unit is small, should look something like this.

hhmmm learn something new everyday.
I wonder where it is.

time to check autozone.

[Drewet88]

hope this isn't considered reviving an old thread...


finally got time to put in my new sending unit tomorrow. Now i just have to figure out where it is. autozone says Under hood, passenger side, lower engine area, below
end of front valve cover, mounted on block

So...is it under the car? or will i be able to find it easier
from above the car. I'm also changing my oil tomorrow so I'll
be doing this while its draining.

You access the sending unit frm the top.
Might have to remove anything in the way,
like alternator, powersteering pump.

Remember to use teflon tape on the threads
Or it'll leak

i actually found it easier to go from under the car and just remove the starter. (i think i do things the hard way)

but thanks for all your help i used the tape and i think it may be the best $.97 i spent.
the new unit was bigger than the OEM one i hope it doesnt mess anything up autozone said it was an upgrade w/ a lifetime warranty so i'll just hold onto my receipt.
