What have you done to your square lately??

[idahovette]

I was working in the auto parts industry when and where Autozone began doing business. It was a "known" thing that they were part of Walmart although they publicly denied it, and Walmart is known in inside circles as engaging underhanded practices. Of the three local auto parts stores in Bentonville as Autozone opened... two had suspicious fires that closed them down and the other had an attempted arson. They don't prioritize good counter people, they prioritize sales. I don't buy from them.

Are you talking now or years ago?????? My Autozone people are fairly good at what they do, so I don't particularly like you lumping the whole business into one. In other words don't talk sh!t if you don't know it for a fact!!!

Oh... sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Pretty obviously all corporations and all individual parts stores (and individual counter persons) have differences. I suppose it's possible that some AZ somewhere has competent personnel. But as an average I'll stick with my (informed) assessment.

Oh yeah, the gray rtv! Good idea! I'll go drain some coolant and clean up. Thx

I originally used an aluminum fitting, then a steel, should I just pooky the aluminum one up with the rtv? No automotive has brass near me. Opinions?

I'd run the one in the left

I'd run the one in the left

Turns out it's 3/4" instead of 5/8" hose. Guess it's not one I used before(left aluminum). On the net or make a trip.

Replaced some power steering hoses all the low pressure side, the one running to the steering box to the cooler was leaking

You can't hurt my feelings, I'm too jaded for that BS.I just don't like generalizations that shouldn't pertain to everyone and everything. Just glad you are so "informed"

Mounted the transmission cooler for the k30 I was able to use 4 holes already in the core support and was able to squeeze it in I used the same cooler on my jeep when it started having issues after putting the winch and skid plate on its rated for 40kgvw and $56 bucks on Amazon was able to use all supplied hardware only had to use a few washers I have laying around and I used different hose and clamps I also flushed it just in case any factory debris inside

But you are fine (I think) with some generalizations... Like, "boobs are good". Lol.
