Ok. Has anyone bought the headlight grease at the parts store counter? They push it every time I pick up a headlight bulb.

Dielectric grease? I only use it on spark plugs. I'd imagine if you had faulty gaskets and a lot of moisture surrounding bulbs that it would protect against it. But I haven't bought it for head/tail/signal light bulbs.

He should buy some of these too.

Cross Drilled brake lines to go with the rotors.

1. You owe me for the flux capicitor

2. I guess you had to reinvent your self after soldmystang got such a bad reputation.

3. You, of all people, should not make sport of someones lack of mechanical apptitude.

4. The little smiley face at the end of the post will not help you fit in with the gay bimmerdouches when your true inner redneck surfaces :twisted:

thanks, Cline. always know i can count on you.

more than anything what i find most humorous was the use of YouTube and an internet forum rather than just going to the local garage and saying "well it kinda sounds like whhhrrrr, clicka,click" the facial expressions are lost to technology.

I hadn't clicked on the youtube. Once I did though I agree with the kids dad, Sounds like a clutch to me!

I use it on bulbs. Not all systems stay perfectly sealed. Moisture gets in. Then the bulb rusts in the socket. Makes them a pain to get out and you have to clean up the corrosion. Some cars came with all the electric connections with dielectric in them too. My sons old 84 Chrysler has it in every connection on the car. There is no corrosion in any connection 25 years later.

Matt don't buy the cheesy little packet at the counter. You can get it in a can and it will last you for years.

GM recommended way to treat door seals, hood and trunk seals. Their product for that is dielectric grease with a different name. Just put some on your finger and work it into the rubber. They won't dry rot over time with that on it.

To each his own.

It's an 84 Chrysler New Yorker, black on black with red interior with all options. 2.2L Mitsu Turbo engine. Including the rich Corinthian leather.. Power everything and the talking computer. Got it free from my MIL with 32K original miles. Shame it has too much rust underneath. Just not a project I am interested in restoring. I have my eye on something else to restore.

That's one of those cars that you push over the embankment when it breaks down and walk home with a smile on your face knowing you won't ever have to see that POS again.
