Question for you-all. Do 5 & 6 speeds have tranny coolers also?

Nope. No tranny coolers for the manuals. No pumps inside them to circulate the fluid. IIRC, geno's sells a cooler for them that bolts on the side of the tranny but that's your only option.

the quick coolers act as a heat sink (air cooled, fins) and allow 1 extra quart of fluid per cooler... Up to 2

The FAST coolers are made for the NV5600; I'm finishing a retrofit kit for them this month in the shop so they can be used on the G56 - I like the drain location and temp sending unit capability they have!

Speaking of mileage.....no matter what setting I use, I'm still getting a little less than 17. This is down from the usual 20 or so a few months ago.
Any ideas........ditch the Smarty...sensor problem....weak VP?

Justin: You don't wave at your friends just because they're driving a green '92 Olds? (On Coit at the light by Wal Mart)

Dan: If you make it down, be sure and let us know. Who knows, I might have time to buy you a cold one.
Don't worry, we didn't touch it. Was just going to make you think. But I know you can tell the difference between regular and half power...at least you did in Houston.

Now I know who was yelling at me at that intersection. You should have sent up a cloud of smoke so I'd know.

Whatever it takes. The g/f was asking who was yelling. Told her it was someone admiring the truck...at least I know I was right.

200 lbs?? I don't remember my head being that heavy?

Dan - You can't talk sweet enough to get me to handle 200 lbs off my tailgate. But, I can put it on a pallet and use company fork lift.... I'll store it out of sight at work till you come this way!

alright guys found my stash of banjo bolt washers and fixed that dang leak on the back of my head.... also fixed (i think) my annoying exhaust leak sound...



question is: would changing out that banjo bolt cause my vp to lose prime?? had to crank forever to go to class tonight?? was a little low on fuel and my drive is steep... maybe the combination caused the issue?? going to fill up if she starts after class...

another question... can I pull the thermo and run the hose in the radiator start the motor and try and flush my system better?? tht layer of oil floating around in my system is irratating

I would try to find some GOOD radiator flush/cleaner to run through it.

You may have air trapped in the fuel lines. If it keeps it up, you might re-tighten everything and crack some injectors.
