    08 Alpha CV boot size???

    boots are all cracked and leaking. Looking to for the stretchy boot thing. I just need the boot dimensions so I can order the right ones. Thinking of double booting them. Also, should I hose out the existing grease and re-grease them? Thanks!!! Matt

    AC button blinking and no AC

    Greetings, 2008 H3 Alpha, 125,000 ish miles. AC light blinks 3 times then goes out and no AC. I’ve checked the likely culprits. Pressures look good as best I can tell with a crappy top off bottle. I’m leaning toward the temp sensor in the evaporator core. Does anyone have any experience...

    08 Alpha Catalytic converter individual replacement, why not?

    Besides tight clearances, is there any technical reason not to individually replace each cat? Mine are shot, and constantly throwing code P0420/P0138 and won’t pass emissions. Probably doing the extender trick for the short term. At close to $1000 to replace both driver’s and passenger side...

    Rear bump stops needed with a Rancho 4" Lift???

    I don't think I have any back there. Are they used and/or necessary? Getting front, figured I'd do the rear at the same time if needed. Thanks, Matt

    08 Alpha. Why so hot???!!!

    It runs like this most of the time unless it's on the highway. Then it drops to just below 5/8th. I know these Alphas are known to run hot, but this is crazy. Is this normal at 100 degrees outside? Floors radiate massive heat as well. I'm looking at a severe duty fan clutch, and just...
