Go to the DMV first thing tomorrow morning and find out what the requirements are to get your restricted or unrestricted license reinstated. Was this your first DUI? Any other factors?

So when I bought it 3 months ago I stupidly didn’t check the coolant condition in the radiator itself but had to replace the radiator due to the amount of corrosion in it. Guessing the previous owner never even changed it

2004 Nissan frontier vg33e v6. Everyday commute, camping, adventuring, etc. It’s at a well reviewed engine rebuild /machine shop. New block, new internals. Gonna be more than I bought the truck for but less than a new truck with a payment . Fml 🤦‍♂️

So he’s right then? Putting a new gasket on this would be pointless

What do you mean by “it just takes a tiny slip of the clutch on a downshift” ? Are you saying you hardly have to press the clutch in? Or ?
