I believe they are the same. Early ones are different.

OK, the used reservoir tank I bought looks awful. I see 2 small cracks in it, but not sure if this will effect it. Trying to figure out a way to pressure test it. I have a coolant pressure tester. Need to plug up the hose connections I guess. Otherwise, looks like uss2defiant was right about...

OK, Now I'm almost 100% sure it's a faulty reservoir tank. I have a coolant pressure tester, and just went out to try something. I hooked up the tester, and started the car, thinking, if there is a blown head gasket, the pressure gauge should rise on it's own, without me pumping it up. It did...

HELP! O4' with 167,000 miles on it. Noticed slight water pump leak at weep hole. Replaced it. A week or two later, found crack in radiator. Replaced it. Also new hoses and plastic reservoir tank. Kept smelling coolant though heater vents. Suspect heater core has a small leak. All was fine for...

Looks something like what the space shuttle goes through, when entering the earth's atmosphere...

I was able to press out the old ball joint, and press the new one in using my 20 ton shop press. But it really took some ingenuity pressing the new one in. I used a short piece of steel rod that fit through the upper ball joint hole. It wasn't easy, but it worked.

Replaced the ball joint. Still have same problem. Going to replace the wheel bearings next. Found the one a bit stiff and noisy.

Hi, I can't seem to figure out this problem. The right front brake makes a loud clicking, chattering sound. It only happens on light braking, and stops when I apply more pressure, as I'm coming to a full stop. I already replaced "everything". And even tried different brake pads. The problem...

I just realized, I will have the same problem. Also, is it possible to use my shop press to press the old joint out? I'm trying to avoid buying the removal tool, if I can. On a tight budget right now...

Well, I tried replacing the B1S2 O2 sensor. I couldn't get the other rear sensor loose. Immediately, I got a code saying the heater circuit on that sensor was bad. So I put the old sensor back in. Live data looks fine for all the O2 sensors. Just took a long drive, and it now has a pending P0139...

I don't remember. Don't think I ever replaced a downstream sensor on it.

Still trying to figure out how to use the new scan tool. But it appears both rear oxygen sensors are not working. Voltages stay high constantly. Not going to run out a buy 2 new sensors yet. Need inspection, smog test soon. Please help?

04' with 163,000 miles. Replaced Oxygen sensor, problem went away for a year or so. Back on again. But I noticed a pattern, the check engine light, would come on every time I'd fill her with gas. After driving about 3 miles, every time! Going out now, with my new $200 diagnostic tool, to try...
