    air bag replacement?

    Hi Jim That is logical that they were used by NORAD. But I do recall that in an old Firestone Airspring catalog, circa approx.1981, they said that they were originally designed for laboratory benches to prevent vibration. I am sure that people found many uses for them besides vehicle suspension...

    Grease Vs Silicon Grease Vs Dielectric Grease

    Thanks, Matt. Dick Paterson has told me that he uses an electrically conductive grease called OxGard. He asks I said that the module heat sink grease can run down into the two screws and act to insulate it electrically. The module depends on the grounding through those two screws to operate...

    Dash Blower inop

    Try using a little bit of dielectric grease on the ends of the fuse. Don’t use silicone grease. It’s not the same. This should prevent surface corrosion and likely eliminate your problem. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick CO > > Yeah, I know,I already cleaned those holders with a wire...

    fan Clutch

    That sounds normal. It is not uncommon for the temperature to drop 10 or 15 degrees when the thermostat opens with the fan running. So a drop from 195 to 180 should not be a concern. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick CO > > Yes, I have the factory sender there. I like redundancy when...

    fan Clutch

    You might find that the proper location of the temperature sensor is on the drivers side to the left of the thermostat housing. That location is more in the flow path of the coolant. What sensor do you have there or is it plugged off? Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick CO > > I don't know...

    Shark Vents

    Sully Actually I am the one who determined that the fender liner acted like an airplane wing. It is spaced down from the floor and airflow over it created a vacuum which draws hot air from the engine compartment and pushes it down to the rear of the liner. Emery Stora emerystora > > My...
