C7 Cat Radiator question - Page 2

I have found the problem is not dust, dirt and oil on the roads but rather service "technicians" that can read (I have it painted in big letters right by the fill tube) and follow instructions (I tell them every time) "19 Quarts ONLY". Rather they pump until it reads (on the WRONG) side of the dipstick Full. I had my dipstick recalibrate but I have even been charged for 32 quarts once. You can imagine the results. They would have been happy to drain and refill at $120/hr. labor rate.

I noticed that with my air bags dumped my full lenght flap hits the ground even with my jacks taking up some slack. (my parking area is not perfectly level). I have as yet driven it up or down a driveway with any angle.

I can't answer your question re: the diff, but I can tell you that I had the same problem with my rear mudflap. I removed the mudflap, trimmed 3" off the top and re-installed it. Problem solved.

I have the UltraGuard flap. You didn't say what type you have, so I'm not sure if this will work with your's or not.

Where do you get them steamed at?

Where do you find the Pro HD purple stuff? All I've ever been able to buy is the regular Simple Green, whether at Wal Mart, Lowes, etc.
