Re: neither stock or aftermarket temp gauge not working

may be a sender for an idiot light instead of a gauge.the idiot light sender just provides a path to ground at a specific temp.The gauge sender is a gradual increase(positive coefficient) or decrease(negative coefficient) in resistance as temp changes.hope this helps

Re: Need Help with a strange transmission quirk

Another possible cause is a leaking seal on the selector shaft where it goes into the trans.The fluid level is below this seal when the trans is in operation,when you shut it off the fluid drains down into the pan and increases the level above the seal and it leaks if the seal is bad.Hope this helps

Re: What synthetic oil brand is best?

synthetic oil is definitely better than conventional oils-it just depends on how much protection you need to sleep at night. if you change your oil at least every 5000 miles you may be wasteing money on the synthetics as their specific purpose originally was to extend service intervals or protect en...
