my 93 lesabre has a cracked head gasket. My Pastor car knowledgable friend suggested using a product call Steel Seal to try to seal the gaskt before resprting to having to replace it. I looked up the web site to Steel Seal and read the requirements for the car for the product to work: no water in dip stick less than 1 qt of water from tail pipe in 5 minutes. The leak isn't that bad but I've had to add antifreeze and there is no leak o nthe ground( tried cardboard under car, nothing). The Steel Seal product is added to the antifreeze and the care is idled until temp is 210 degrees (how if thermostat opens at 180). Then care is allwed to coll for about an hour and proces repeated twice more. I have a couple questions: 1) Assuming the product would work, how can I get the temp up to 210 degrees? Driving to work each day, one hour each way, the temp never gets above 180. 2) Would it still work only at 180 rather than getitng it to 210? 3) Has anyone ever used the product or heard of anyone who has used it with success? It will cost about 80 bucks for the product so I an looking for some responsesfrom others to see it might be worh a shot to try. That's cheap I gues vs having to spend over $500 to get it replaced. thanks for any responses jimco

I posted last week about my brake light that comes on every once in a while and won't go off. When this happens, I have no heater fan, no speedometer, and my transmission won't shift out of 1st gear. I thought I had the problem fixed, but about three day's later, it happened again. I checked all the wiring and found a peice of copper braided ground strapping that was almost broke in half. There are two ground wire straps on the firewall. One goes to the chassis, and one to the back of the block. One is almost broke in half, and the other was so brittle it broke when I touched it. Would this cause my truck to have all these problems? No one had them in my area, so I ordered two and they will be in Monday morning. Could this be the problem, or should I keep on looking for something else? Thanks.............
