i started a lim today at work , its a park ave with 100 k and i think iv been the first one in there since new !
both gaskets on the head side were in 2 .
it also has a major sludge factor.
coolant ports were almost closed !
and they mixed dex with green, nice dark brown color. lol. i wish i had some pics to show everyone....
it came in for an oil change and 2 rear tires ,
1800.00 bucks worth of work i will be doing to save the 3800.
