    Leaking Heater Core

    Well…. The radiator shop called and said he can’t fix either core, so I guess I’ll need to try one of those new cores out. I know the cores are pretty basic, but does anyone have a military radiator expert that may be able to work some magic on 2 heater cores?

    Out of Round Tires

    Have you check the tie rod / tie rod ends for excessive movement? I replaced my ends which helped wobble at increased speeds. Steering at slower speed also feels much better now too.
