    Nasty Cooling System - '93 Chevy Caprice

    Try reversing the heater hoses, add about 2 oz. of cascade and run engine for about 20 minutes then do a complete flush. May have to repeat a few times but it will definitely help/

    Nasty Cooling System - '93 Chevy Caprice

    Dreaded Dex-cool cocktail. Flush,flush,flush.....Cascade dishwasher detergent helps alot. It is very important to get that brown mud out of the system as it is corrosive and will eat paper gaskets!

    How Far Can an Electric Truck Tow?

    The first thing that comes to mind is the number of cordless tools I threw away. I threw them away because the high cost of the replacement batteries!

    Need Electrical help

    You will need a box at each fixture/junction. You need a plastic 4"round box labelled for "old work". It will have wings that flip out to secure it to the drywall. A keyless light fixture is made of either plastic or porcelain and does not require a ground. But you need to tie all grounds...

    Windows 11 yes/no?

    True for some professional software but there are ways to workaround most of those. I have taken the time to learn Linux to free myself from the prying eyes of MS. Linux is faster,cleaner and more reliable.

    Windows 11 yes/no?

    I got tired of being held hostage by big tech and its proprietary software so I switched to Linux and never looked back.

    LED Bulb trips breaker

    If the receptacles were the problem it would be very obvious when you removed them. There would be definite burn marks e.g. the look and sniff test.

    LED Bulb trips breaker

    You can remove wire from breaker and series it through a low wattage light bulb (incandescent) and back to breaker. With everything off the bulb should not be on.

    LED Bulb trips breaker

    I agree. There may be something unnoticed tied into that circuit,e.i. doorbell transformer, heat tape etc. I would check the amp load on that circuit with every known device turned off.

    Anyone use a 2017 kia Sorrento AWD/4wd high output engine?

    The primary concern of towing is the capability of the DRIVER. Too many times people become complacent just because they exceed the recommend ratings.
