    Truck lock cylinder

    Not sure, I pulled mine out (large clip that slide off on the back inside the trunk) and soaked it in PB Blaster for a few days and got it to free up but now it just acts like I have the wrong key, might be worth a try in your case. I just put it back in as I'm not paying upwards of $70 for a...

    Bad Heater Core

    You can check for electrolysis with a multimeter there's a few videos on YouTube on how to do this although I doubt that's what the issue is. Usually electrolysis only takes place in an older cooling system with zero maintenance.

    Truck lock cylinder

    My trunk lock cylinder seized up and is not salvageable so I need a new one. Where can I get it or what part # is it? I keep running into dead-ends and wrong parts with Google.

    Alternator diode check

    50-80 millivolts AC. Checking for a bad diode that would explain the noise, all the wiring for my amps is good, I went as fast as to pull my head unit out of the dash and run my rca cables out the door,over the roof, back in the door to my amp and I still have it.

    Alternator diode check

    Can someone please check for AC voltage across your battery with the car running and let me know what you get? I'm getting between 80-50 mv. I think this is indicating a bad diode in my alternator but I have also heard that up to 100 mv can be acceptable in some cars while most say 50mv or more...
