Is flushing brake system necessary?

It is not necessary to flush any system on a car. Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air which in turn causes a corrosion to build in the system. That in turn will cause the cylinders to leak and not work properly.

How do you replace the serpentine belt on a 2001 dodge ram b1500 v8 van and adjust the timing?

There is a guide on the front of the engine compartment that shows the direction the belt follows, either with or without A/C. Take a 15mm socket and a ratchet and place it on the farthest left pulley, which is the tensioner pulley. Pull it as if you are tightening the bolt. This pulley will rotate in relieving all of the tension allowing you to take off the old belt. Take the new belt and on the passenger side of the fan, lower the belt to the underdrive pulley (closest to the ground, and also the largest of them all). Then following the diagram weave the belt around all of the other pulleys until you are left with the tensioner pulley. Again use the socket and ratchet to move the pulley to the right and slip the last bit of the belt over the pulley. BEFORE you crank the engine, inspect the belt to ensure it is lined up on the grooved pulleys. Then crank 'er up! -Kojak

How do you replace a thermostat on a Buick rendezvous?

I had to pay a dealership $450 to change the thermostat on the 3.4L engine. You have to remove the crossover exhaust manifold. Once that is out of the way, the thermostat itself is easy. Before the manifold is removed, I could only touch one of the two bolts holding the thermostat housing in place, much less get a wrench on it.
Good Luck!
after i read this i had to say something.
I've changed thermostat on a 2002 Buick rendezvous before, it wasn't hard and you don't have to remove the exhaust crossover pipe.



I could not reach the back two bolts on the cross over manifold, so I took off the last piece of the air intake where the throttle position sensor is located. At that point I could get a wrench down there a slowly loosen the lower bolt enough to slide out the thermostat housing, and eventually the thermostat. It took me a couple of hours to complete a task that on any other car would take 30 minutes or so.

Where is the dimmer switch in 2005?

Not sure if this helps or not but on a 2005 Toyota Sienna LE, the dash-light dimmer switch is actually the trip odometer reset switch. Turning the trip odometer reset switch left or right controls the dash-light levels. Had it not been for the factory manual, and Google, I would have never known this.
