So, you say only clear water came out...does this mean you think it was the sender all along? Which would make sense, since you had shot it with IR gun and got temps much lower than gage reading/monitor.

Anyhow, good news. Hope she starts treating you better from here on out.

I guess so

Ive got a few days of making sure this is the case before i spend my time driving around getting smogged and plates etc. I still need to bleed the brakes

 

Need to clean up the bar a bit -- not sure if i really like it

 

Give it some time. Somedays, l like my bumper...and other days l don't. At the moment, l'm okay with it and it's turned out okay, in my opinion.

I'd probably grab a spray bomb and black out the bumper pieces. Actually, l like the original bumpers with that brush guard...just wish the bumper itself...were more durable.

I have that same nudge bar, but with the decal in place. I have liked it and figure its a pretty good plastic bumper cover protector.

 

It’s great until it gets pushed into your hood... They pivot when pushed on/hit and do more harm than good sadly.

I had one on several D1/D2’s and I finally gave up on em when they rusted or caused damage to the hood when the g/f back in the day hit something.

 

Yes it does pivot... I thought I had it really tight and then a friend who is a 6'6" body builder grabbed it and wiggled it around like a tinker toy... Have not had any close calls with the hood yet though.

Replace the bolts with 1/2 Grade 8 vs the OEM bolts, for starters if you wanna keep it, then aim it slightly more forward. In the event it gets pushed it might not fold all the way into the hood.


Although they look strong they're just hollow pipe, and I'd be surprised if it wasn't rusty inside of it. All of mine were and they were all from TX.
