    1996 LS400 “build”

    So I picked up this 1996 Lexus LS400 with a 4.0L V8 and automatic transmission. It had 86,500k miles when I bought it a week and a half ago, it’s now got 87,050ish.

    Coolant coming out of throttle body

    So I was driving down the highway and my truck started over heating real bad and then shut off going down the highway. There was coolant coming out of the throttle body. What would cause it to do that? Bad gaskets somewhere? Or did I kill the stupid engine. It’s a 1996 Sierra 4.3L V6

    Cross threaded spark plug

    So I was attempting to put my spark plug back in and was obviously not being careful enough and cross threaded the thread in the block. Is this something that I will have to pull the engine out and take it apart to fix? Has anyone ever done this? 1996 4.3L V6

    1996 c1500 brakes

    Its time to do brakes. My front left occasionally squeaks when I brake and the truck hasn't had brakes done in at least 5 years. What would be the way to go? I figure I'll probably get new calipers on the front. I've already done the wheel cylinders on the rear. Is there any recommended brand of...

    Everyday/towing

    So I currently have a ‘96 GMC Sierra 1500 V6 5spd. It’s a daily and a work truck but it lacks every single bit of power necessary to pull landscaping trailers. I WANT a 2500 or 3500. My question is, what motor/trans would best suit my needs? I’m leaning toward a 5.7 Vortec with NV4500, but idk.
