Re: Replace water pump GD Galant

. . If you put full tanks on the thieves will go further, $5.00 will mean you'll find it closer to home, oh when people borrow it they have to put fuel in it which is good also. .

Soft mounts dont last as they deteriate they leak air, you will
know when you hear cherping comming from the engine. Does
not really effect performance, you just drive around like you've
