You're just going to defend GM and JD till the end! It may be sooner than you think. Why would I change perfectly good coolant that's not very old? Why would I pay over $100 an hour to have a dealer change a thermostat. The only problem I had was the truck took too long to warm up. It had nothing to do with the coolant. I needed a thermostat. I suppose that GM is now going to have the oil pans cast as one piece into the block, with no drain plug, so you have to go to a dealer to have a new engine installed. I cleaned up the spilled coolant. I wouldn't have had spilled coolant if there was a drain for the rad, whether I was reusing or replacing the coolant. If someone could easily drain the coolant, they could just as easily put a hole in the rad hose to drain it. Millions of responsible people have done their own repairs for eons. Why would GM get sued if someone else spilled anti-freeze? I never said that my GM truck was junk. I said there were a few stupid things on it. I think the same holds true on any vehicle. It is against the law for GM to force people to take their vehicles to only GM dealers, even for oil changes when the vehicle is still on warrantee. GM has made some junk vehicles and JD has made some junk tractors and it's not because someone wanted to fix them themselfs. The 5.7 diesel is a prime example of junk that came from GM. Maybe if GM made their vehicles simpler to work on, they'd sell more? How many farmers like going to the dealer and paying a fortune to have their vehicle serviced? How many farmers drive their tractor to the dealer to have it serviced or have the dealer come out to do routine service? Not much different than a truck. If trying to save a little money by doing some of my own repairs makes me a cheap skate, there's sure a lot of us out there. Do you own GM and JD stock or something? In your opinion they seem to be able to do nothing wrong. I wonder why GM wants a bailout, when they can't do anything wrong? Hmmm! Dave

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
