Anti-Freeze Leak/Water Pump?

Q: where did i say it was rated for side impact read it again; i said if i had been in my lebaron i would have been dead ... yet the lebaron has side impact beams. they might stop an angry bumblebee . . . . once again you utter complete bs. how do you know that you would have died. why didnt the people in the caddie which did have a front crumple zone die then as for the side impact beams i bet it would do every bit as well as your god like valiant. i got for you i would not want to be in that car in any crash because ive seen a few similar cars after accidents and that four star and five starratings crap fails in the real world at impact speeds over 35. you really do make yourself look ignorant when you spew out crap like this. i worked in a wrecking yard for about 2 years just out of high school and saw a lot of cars from the late 60s and 70s come in and although many of them didnt look all that bad a high percentage of them had serious injuries and / or deaths related to the accident that sent them to us. why do you think that was budd good grief dont you listen to your local about all the people getting clobbered in those five star rated vehicles it was no different back then either except for the possible fact that there were less accidents due to less cars being on the road and people being less in a rush to get everywhere. percentage wise cars are safer than ever. did you ever read the book called unsafe at any speed perhaps you should. its simple kinetic force. which you simply dont seem to understand. stand an empty soda can your crush zone up and smash it with another soda can . . .and you get a certain amount of damage. stand another can up and smash it with a sledgehammer . . . .your crush zone just flattened out and the bench just got most of the force. so much for that 35 mph rating system. this is just about the dumbest example from you that i have seen. comparing a sledge hammer to a soda can is about the same as comparing your valiant to a freight train. the fact is that if you did take a measurement of force against the bench from the hammer blow both with and without the soda can you will see a reduction in force with the can which indicates that crumple zones do work but like anything there are limits to what they can do and protect you from. the cans would flatten just as much if the collision speed were increased as that increases the kinetic energy. yes budd once you reach somethings limits increasing the force still further will produce similar results. and your point is now repeat the experiment with a couple pieces of 4 diameter 0.125 wall tubing with plates welded on the ends. . . . . yea now the bench gets hit with the full force of the blow because the pipe you created transfers the full force and absorbs next to nothing. yep low speed impact bounces off that is not where the most deaths / injuries occur but the cylinder now absorbs more of the sledgehammers impact. you once again show that you dont know wtf you are talking about. in order for the cylinder to absorb any of the force it would have to either compress or collapse otherwise all it can do it is either reflect the force back and / or transfer it to other objects. now for a real test lay your cylinder on its side and place an egg against it then hit the other side of the cylinder with something with an increasing force until the egg breaks. then place another egg in front of a soda can and hit it with the same force that caused the egg to break with your cylinder and see what happens. i bet that it survives. yeah that tough old valiant withstood hitting a mule deer doe a full size standard poodle a little larger than a german shepard and being hit by a 81 caddy. . . and i never got a scratch. big deal none of the above was anything major and your lebaron would have protected you just as well. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

i had the local auto zone run a check on it. they said it was a code p0161 which means o2 sensor heater circuit malfunction bank 2 sensor 2. they said it was the o2 sensor that is behind the catalyctic converter. well there is no sensor behind or aft of the converter. so which one is it i have 2 sensors on the exhaust system. one on each side bank before it joins into one pipe before the converter. are they both the same sensor any help would be greatly appreciated. hank totally confused by todays electronics .
