best place to buy fender flares and coolent leak help

89se-5 · 04-23-2008, 11:03 AM

ok i have two quick questions one i need a passenger side fender flare an i am hoping to be able to just buy the one or at least only the front two instead of a set of four as thats the only one that i am missing,
and then my second question is i have a coolent leak that seems to be coming from the back of my engine drips down onto the tranny and then the ground, but it does not leak if the car is not running and it stops about five-ten min after i shut it off and seems to happen alot more when the car is hot, understandably sense there would be more pressure and boiling but i can find the mother ****er anywhere so i am just hoping that maybe somone has had the same problem or just some tips on how to find it alittle eaiser
actually one other thing i have only had the truck about two weeks now and have only used the 4x4 once but i can tell now if its in two high or neutral how can i tell and does it make a difference for daily driving if i was in two high? sorry its my first truck so help a guy out without ripping me a new ******* is possible
thanks

for the fender flares you can go to bushwacker.com or look on ebay, jcwhitney. and the coolant more than likely you need to replace the intake gasket. look at the block and intake when it is dripping you should beable to see it. do you have push button on the dash? if so look at the lights and if you have the floor shifter just set it to 2wd or 2 hi. and you will know if your in neutral the truck will not move at all. daily driving yes you want to be in 2wd.

i looked at the head and intake gaskets and didnt see any thing and for the 4x4 yes i have the push button but my shifter for the 4x4 does not seem like it matches the little diagram on the shift knob i can only get it into 4x4h i think as i can only seem to get it into on 4x4 mode and for the button there is no light or anything that turns on when i push it how can i tell if its workin?

some models you have to put the truck in neutral not park or drive. for it to change to and from 4wd.

its a 5 speed so i put it into neutral first try hitting the button on the dash which seems to do nothing and i can put it into 4x4, the little light on the dash will turn on but i cant tell if i am in just 2wd or 2h still i think i may be in 2h but there is no spot for 2wd on the 4x4 shifter so how the **** do i know, and just checked the coolant leak again and its def not the intake gasket as its a side mounted manifold and i can see and feel under it and no dice i cant find a hose or gasket leaking anywhere but still drip drip drip every time i get done driving it and after a few min it will just stop and i need to get it fixed so i can start driving it to work.
