Here's an old timers trick, it takes 2 people. Remove the radiator cap, take a shop vac. Have someone hold the hose over the radiator creating a vacuum. Not so much vacuum that coolant is sucked up, but a vacuum. Now you can remove thermostats, heater hoses, sensors etc. with out losing coolant or making a mess,

Takes some practice but works great.

 

I saw that done once. Wouldnt want to try it myself...lol

 

I've never been able to get the seal tight enough. I gave up trying and just drain the coolant into a clean container then put it all back in after.

 

If a starter is bad can it draw to many amps?

 

Ya. It will turn over similar to having a dead cell. Just sort of weak

 

What have you come up with to.hold the hood when.changing? I know it was talked about on here a while back to use saw horses. Is that what your planning on using? I would like to change mine out soon also.

 

I'm gonna try to use a 2 inch strap after I put 2 new springs on.

 

Didn't read the next 10 pages to see if fixed, but here's what I have. I also only use 12' assembly.

 

Just wait till I'm around and ill hold it open white you change out the springs. Then you can hold mine open

 

Your hood is prob 3 times as heavy lol. I gotta find the parts first. Not paying that price for a good shock. Lol
