Newer compounds used to make rubber hoses have improved their lifecycle dramatically, but they haven’t changed the physics involved. Friction, pressure and heat still can cause component wear, even to ...

Truck engines are hellish environments, so overlooking belts and hoses is an invitation to disaster. Since good maintenance is no guarantee against premature failure, knowledgeable technicians know to ...

New advanced engines and cooling systems are changing cooling system maintenance requirements. Service technicians and fleet managers should review their preventative maintenance (PM) strategy and ...

Q: I have a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP with 84,000 miles on it. At approximately 45,000 miles I noticed the gauge starting to run above normal (190-210 degrees F) while the air conditioning is ...

Some of the more common technical questions we get involve overheating, and with good reason. Overheating can be chronic, especially with older Mustangs. Classic Mustangs had marginal cooling systems ...

Even if you don't know (or care) what a Btu is, you've probably seen a cooling system react violently once in your life. Usually taken for granted until it screws up, the cooling systems in our cars ...

Meh, your 4x4’s cooling system is simple…as simple as fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, material properties, specific heat, ideal gas laws, and a few more aspects of physics can be.

I have a question about the small hose going from the front of the intake manifold to the water pump on a big-block Chevy. I have a Dart manifold that has no provision for that water hose. I've heard ...
