Ask the Techman

I put Mobil 1 in the Tundra, and change every 5000 miles.

My little brother used to have a Jeep like yours and he had a leaking seal in the rear end.

Dad: Did you ever change that seal?

Bro: No, it stopped leaking.

Dad: *Pause* Yeah, they don't leak once they run out of oil...

Bro:

"I thought the light would get brighter or something?"

We was given a older car it's a Dodge in march and it was runing ok until the last 2 days, there is a bunch of green water stuff dripping under it when we stop.

That's most likely coolant. You need to figure out exactly where it's dripping from. Radiator, reservoir, radiator hoses, heater hoses, water pump, etc. Does it leak a large volume?

What was it in April?

Coolant...most likely the water pump.

I dont no where all that is, there is a wettish place as big around as a orange, or close to that size. I dont understand why it just now started when it was no problem since march.

Des

Where it is probably don't matter...it's coolant.

If any liquid is hitting the ground except for clear water off of the air conditioning system's condenser, you've got problems that need to be addressed ASAP.

Me too!

And may I just mention that worrying about increased road noise from the tires on a Jeep Wrangler is like worrying about which SPF sunscreen you should wear on your vacation to the Sun.

Yep, she drives a Wrangler, alright.

If they'll ever produce a Wrangler that can do the towing job of a 1/2-ton or 3/4-ton pickup truck for a comparable price, I'll be all over it like white on rice. I pull 4,000-8,000lb loads at least six to eight times a year. I've got to have a vehicle that can not only start the load, but stop it as well.

Edit: Don't even bother posting a picture of a HMMWV. Why in God's name would I pay $80,000 for that when I can get a fully-equipped crew cab 1-ton 4x4 diesel dually for $50,000?

Are you alive?

Trolling the dead?
