    Faint clicking ticking sound when stopping

    whether it's a clicking or ticking sound... Either way when coming to a stop I can hear a faint clicking/ticking sound that slows down as the vehicle slows down....

    Fan Solenoid replacement

    Going to replace the Cadillac valve on my M998. Looks pretty straightforward. I assume I'll lose power steering fluid. After it's in I'll add fluid and turn the wheels back and forth to get a correct level. Does this process fill the Cadillac valve so it operates ok? Thanks.
