IOwnCalculus posted:Changed the oil in the Ranger tonight. Checked the coolant on a whim, the reservoir was bone dry and the radiator was low enough I couldn't actually see any. No external coolant leaks that I've found so now I'm worried that the fucker has eaten a head gasket. Going to borrow the exhaust gas tester at Autozone and see if that is the case after all. Free cylinder steam cleaning ahoy

What the gently caress is it with American manufacturers and vacuum-operated air distribution boxes? My Blazer's got the same poo poo, and it's so much slower than the mechanical linkages in my Protege. Is it supposed to be a luxury feature or something, a lighter touch on the selector switch?

Is the tilt mechanism tight? That is (was) the biggest daily annoyance with my Blazer, drat wheel flopped all over the place.

I don't know what adapter setup you're using so this may not work, but is there any reason you couldn't seal off one chamber at a time and just bleed the wheels that are one that circuit? (I presume it's split front/rear since it's a truck).

Yeah torque-to-yield basically takes the bolt beyond its deformation limit, which gives more clamping force (once) out of the same size bolt as opposed to a larger or higher grade one. Gets the tightness you need for cheaper, at the expense of reusability. E: But then it's a weird size, so you the owner can only find that low-grade bolt at the dealer, at massive retail markup naturally. Cheaper to build, not own. Good old beancounter engineering, that.
