So I have a 1996 GMC 4X4 7.4 litre with a 4L80E trans I have been told for the tranny and transfer case it is dexron II or better, the front diff is supposed to be a 80-90 I believe, but the rear diff which is supposed to be a limited slip apparently needs an additive put in it, was told there...

I bought a 1996 GMC 2500 4X4 7.4/454 motor 4L80E transmission,219.000Km/137.000 on it. I looked at the coolant in it when I drew some out with a hydrometer to check freezing point, I got -20°F but my question is that it appeared almost to be maybe yellow or real light green? It sure does not...

So like my other posts, I have bought a used 1977 Taurus and they said at the time I got it that the cooling system should be flushed and obviously new coolant put in, now it looks like it might be clear or maybe a bit yellow, which coolant does one use now. All I ever used in my vehicles has...

Okay, second question, I bought a used 1997 Ford Taurus, boss here says change the tranny oil regularly and do annual maintenance and he found his 1996 was a good car. So my question is that it calls for it looks like straight Mercon atf, but someone told me our stuff we get here is the one I...

Okay, so bought a 1997 Ford Taurus that the wife liked, now I see it calls for 5W30, now in a search at the library in a Haynes book the chart shows it for weather that gets cooler than here, and shows 10W30 for what I feel is more like our climate here in BC Canada which is shown as 0 degrees...

Bought an infrared thermometer and tried the top of my rad tank and got 176F or so, bottom tank reads 118F, seems my cooling system is working good. Bought the thing for checking the fifth wheel bearings and tires, but it was cool to see the temps also on the exhaust manifolds and such. Anybody...

So, I have access now to Schaeffer diff oil #209 moly universal gear lube SAE 90 and also Esso Gear Oil GX 80W-90 is one superior to the other? I am thinking of using one of them in my Diff on a 1977 F-250 Super Cab 2 wheel drive, that I use to pull a 18.5' fifth wheel. I imagine they should...

Wondering if when I do my fluid in my F-250 C-6 if I should adjust the band at the same time? Any thoughts?
