Not that I know of, I have done it that way in the past with VW's and never had a problem.

New front wheel bearings and seals. The races looked good and I was lazy so I left the old ones in. My 3/8 torque wrench would not adapt to the nut socket so it is together with german tourqe till I can get a proper sized wrench on it next weekend.

I dont think mine is, what I am seeing really looks like Shellac flakes, that you use to finish furniture with, kind of golden brown/ redish looking. Before I pull the cover to look around, do I need a new gasket, and if so where do I look to pick one up?

I just got the 4770 in with the 3426 and the filter is to big for the base, it looks like it is to big by agout 1/16 of an inch or so on the phone to fleet filter in the morning.

Dont consider the doghead mod, do it.

Just keep at it. You have a big air pocket that will have to come out, it will take a while. Happened to me once, took over an hour to get them to pump up tight.

Where does one find a high output water pump and dual thermostat crossover? What are the advantages of them?

The recent thread about the towing capability of the M1009 has brought up a question. In 6 months from now (late january) I will be moving across country From CA to TN. I will be towing my 2001 Hyundai Elantra (2500 pounds) as well as having about 1000 in the back of the 09. I know what the...

If you put those pipes on it, you have to snorkel it as well!
