Re: *tap-tap*..... is this thing on?

yeah- I know the feelin'... a job's not started 'til I draw blood.

what kinda miles are on the Durango?
any oil in the water, or vice-versa?

heavy condensation out the exhaust? I hate to suggest an exhaust-side head gasket, but that's exactly what we had.. and the bummer is- I forgot to change the coolant at 30K, and at about 67K, the radiator went. I replaced it with t $200 Advance Auto parts "lifetime guranteed radiator, good thig... it failed in two days, and I replaced the original a total of three times...(all three were inspected by the same Chinaman.)..then took it to Honda, who replaced the water pump, drive belts and timing belt.. $700...
THEN they told me, as I whipped out the cash, that I MIGHT have a bad head gasket. I took it then to an independent garage I truct, and they rebuilt the head and flushed the systems (cooling, oil, and tranny) with BG flushes, for an additional $1618.

done now.. if this thing burps ONCE, I'll take it out back with my .45, y'know...and my son's ARs, and aerate it (just kiddin', but the pure intent is there)

and Linda wants a new Pilot..

I told her I know plenty of older ones who'd accomodate her (headin' for the bunker now)..

hope things get better w/Durango...

Best to you and Lorraine.
