A 1990 GM will have regular green coolant. Weather your car has dexi-cool or not will have no effect on the gaskets failing. The LIM gaskets are prone to failure no matter what after 70K or so on most GM 60 degree V6 engines. I would start with a compression test, Eric has videos on this if you search. If you suspect a bad head gasket you’ll have to do the intake anyway. It sounds like you’ll be doing alot of work on this car so I would suggest getting the GM service manuals. Don’t wast your time the Haynes if you unfamiliar with engine repair.

The Nissan Juke is one of the more ugly designs to come out in awhile. It’s hard to make a crossover look appealing to begin with, never mind the radical design stuff going on with the Juke. Kind of makes me want to vomit a little when I see one.

OK, apparently the dealer can cut a new key from my VIN but I have to program it myself. Found the programing instructions on this site http://my.cardone.com/techdocs/PT%2077-0011.pdf Thanks for the help guys.

I decided to replace the outer at the same time, only $20 more. New boot too since with my luck I’ll tear the old one. Thanks for the help!

Also check out http://marylandspeed.com/computer-tuning-gauges-c-58_200.html They have flash versions of the Daiblo that are considerably less.

I have never heard of running on 4 cyl in a V8 muscle car but there are some options for programming on the LS2 engine. You can go with a Diablosport Trinity Tuner for about $600. It will allow you to adjust pretty much anything you want within the PCM and it also acts as a scan tool and the ability to view live data while driving. Comes with pre-loaded tunes as well. The other option is to bring it to a performance shop and have it dyno tuned using HP tuners. Probably will run you about the same but I would much rather have a Diablo since it has so many uses and features. All of these options are for PERFORMANCE, not fuel economy so maybe you might want to consider getting a different car.

If it’s an auto trans I would make it a habit to change the fluid every 20-30K or so. If you want to get crazy you can do drain/refill 2 or 3 times with driving in between to help flush most of the old fluid out. You’ll probably get 3 or 4 quarts out from the pan. Also USE HONDA FLUID ONLY. Eric points this out in some of his vids. The trans filter is also not serviceable. You have to crack it open the get it out. Ridiculous design if you ask me, especially since the Honda auto trans are known for going bad.

I could see this happening but in designated areas that are deemed safe. Imagine it kind of like the EZ pass tolls. You go through a checkpoint and it communicates with the car allowing it go into an “auto pilot” mode. Probably you’ll have separate or divided lanes. This way you can have both auto and manually driven vehicles on the same highway. As far as having it in the city, I think that’s almost impossible. Too many variables like pedestrians, people on bikes, and construction. What about potholes? If I never avoided potholes I’d be going through front end and suspension parts like water. Well that’s here here in the north east, roads suck.
