    Re-use slightly contaminated coolant? Or am I being a cheapskate

    Normally yes I wouldn’t even question reusing coolant, the problem is i wasn’t paying attention and drained into my oil bucket instead of the coolant bucket. The oil bucket was “empty” but still had enough to leave an oily film at the surface of the coolant. Below it looks green and normal... so...

    727 cooler line length

    Hey Gents anyone know how long the trans cooler lines are roughly on a 3rd gen Charger? I was going to bend some of my own and didn’t want to buy a bunch of extra 5/16 line and was hoping I could get away with the already flared and fitted lines from the parts store. Would 60” be enough? 72”...
