OK doesn’t require a broker, I believe.
Many states, like FL, do, however. I drive by the local CoParts yard all the
time, but never bother to look. For what I would pay a broker it’s rarely worth
it. Probably cheaper to get a dealer’s license.

It is as simple as dirt. The rebuild kit for the valve costs about $30. It
includes all new orings, a new spring or two, and a new metal plunger. The
old plungers start to stick in the aluminum housing after the orings begin
to fail. So it all needs to go and new parts go in. All you need is a clea

Poor designs, both. You can wedge a short section if radiator hose btw the

I vote for the ML. Higher fuel consumption though, and maybe insurance

SLS on wagon. I told him to check the linkage to the valve, he did, it
is broken so he is going to order a new one. He actually listened and
acted appropriately.
Someone else said how complicated the system is, seems pretty simple to

As I recall, the bracket was mounted directly to the manifold and then there
