Default So what's next?????

Okay, I spent three days (couple hours each day) working on the heater core.... then when I got it all finished up the battery was leaking acid everywhere and was dead. Replaced the battery, went driving the next morning and the a/c clutch bearing went out melting everything around it. I got a new a/c clutch assembly and put it on. Now the car seems to be fine again, but I'm just wondering.... what's next? Seems like there's always something going out on these cars!!!!


:rolleyes:

Just remember the most important thing, lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place!

When you're done, you will have a brand new '90.

Radiator, hoses, steering rack, battery, alternator, engine, starter :rolleyes: . On mine it was in that order:(. You already done the rack three times on the same car so it won't be a difficult task for you:).

How was the heater core replacement work of the 90 compare to the earlier dash (breadbox)? Took me two weeks time to finish mine, total actual working time was about 8-10 hours. There is no way I can do it on one weekend, me body can't handle this :rolleyes: .

I gave up wondering "What's Next" a long time ago. Yes there is always something waiting to go right around the corner. Hopefully you'll steer clear of something else failing. :cheers:

You mean that you didn't remove the a/c clutch as a part of the heater core install? No wonder! The muffler bearings will surely be next.

Which reminds me. I need to change my turn signal fluid this week.
