91 Explorer A/C parts, what's the difference between parts marked "From 4/91" and "To 4/91"?

GMC 1991 s15 Jimmy tuning problem
I have a 1991 GMC s15 jimmy 4x4 with the 4.3L 'Z' engine. It has 197K miles and has been in the family since new. A couple of weeks ago, the idle started to run very high and the "service engine soon" light came on. The truck also became very hard or impossible to start when cold, but starts okay even if it has ... 28 Apr 2010 19:47

I'm considering taking the head off our '99 Cavalier 2.2L. A couple of parts stores have said that the head bolts are one-time-use "stretch bolts", and need to be replaced.

An AD on TCM?!?!?!
Hey cuhulin, you watch TCM tonight? There was a AD on! A Toyota ad. A 30 second Yaris ad. No narrative, just music and pictures of the car, followed by "Toyota Yaris". Hope they don't take the same path as AMC. That would suck. ... 4 Apr 2010 16:00

I listened to the rocker arms with a stick, and found one that matched the noise. And, I could rotate that push rod (no other... 29 Mar 2010 01:33
