  1. Me being supervised during a coolant change on LU. I had previously decided not to use the video but decided to go with it as it has it's pluses with family involved.
  2. Pulled out about 10 oz of gear lube from two PTU's Yeah both were low. Keep an eye on them PTU gear lube levels. I filtered it and check it out in a non conventional manner just as a cursory inspection
  3. Seems I get some questions on how and who I use for oil samples hope this answers the questions.

    Coolant loss

    Get the engine oil sampled. This will tell you two things. Condition of the engine and if there is coolant in the oil. Then go from there.
  6. The water pump failed. Highly doubt the head gaskets have fail unless you drove to near catastrophic over heating and complete failure. More to it than just a new water pump though. Pump, VCT's, guides, chain, tensiors etc.
  7. Never had an issue with the directional of the Strut bearing mount. There may be and arrow on it pointing in the direction so look closely when removing it. then re-install in the same manner. Monroe would only be my choice if they were the last set in the entire web. Check the spring diameter on the monroes and then the factory spring diameter. You may be very surprised.
  8. Start by inspecting the tone rings. Look for missing teeth cracks stuck objects etc.
