yes, just sold yesterday to the right person that my clear description of the issues were not a challenge. A good karmic match, thank you.

Well, it just always smell like radiator. I'm done with trying to own an older vehicle. This is now (has been) up for sale. I dropped $150 2x for radiator test with dye and no one wanted to stick around to evaluate why it wasn't holding Freon. These were both "professional" licensed shops. The...

Thanks for the tip. I'd ask $12K and take best offer.

thanks. Not inside but after having the repair work done, I understand that coolant never drives up and goes away. The smell will never go away... Right?!

Well, I'm in Sandy now and it was 115!  ugh!

Well, I'm in northern Oregon and can easily travel... If you look at my out of pocket spread sheet in my Google folder, you'll see what I've spent and does NOT include the cost of the vehicle. You tell me what you think.

Van life dreaming? This groovy 2000 GMC Savana 1500 automatic transmission fiberglass high top was a passenger van now converted to a single person getaway camper. Non-smoker vehicle, and no shedding pets. Drives excellent with a solid V8 5.7 ltr engine, 112,000 miles, gets 11mpg city, and...

Well as things would just happen the way they do, I moved and found a room for $450/mo so I'm in the sweet spot. Thanks!

When you say musty smell... would that be something like "it smells like the ocean in here"??? kinda smell? You're scaring me. :)

Yeah, I'm just coming back to this now on July 4th weekend. I moved in May (no notice), new job and getting feet under me now. I had to go back and look at what was done (and it's not fixed nor under warranty as service was NOT recommended - boo!). The mechanic was supposed to seal off the lines...

I just had an incident I did NOT expect. I use a mail box for my permanent address. So far, voter registration AND DMV vehicle registration and driver's license address verification issues have come up. And yesterday when I called my credit union about a car loan, they ran my credit report and...

In search of advice. I finally took my 2000 GMC Savana high top 5.7ltr van in to check the air conditioning. It’s come back with needing all new hoses and tubing with a price tag more than I can commit to. Otherwise the van runs fine and is my daily driver. It’s a minimalist build for one...

Hello battery aficionados!  I've been researching and still no wiser on AGM battery quality or how to find side by side reviews for these. A brand name is no different than the same product with another company's brand on it. Today's its 34 degrees, so I need a battery that can go to 20 degrees...
