Hey, non-american here.
I'm wondering if someone could explain to me all of GM's divisions (before they axed some of them) and what kind of niche they were supposed to fill in the market.
All I know is Cadillac = luxury and Hummer = big suv.
Pic related is all the divisions I would like to know about.

Saturn was the experimental import-fighter.
Oldsmobile was the technology division. Any new tech worthwhile usually showed up in an Oldsmobile first.
Chevrolet is the everyman brand, something for everyone
Pontiac was the enthusiast brand with offerings usually just more exciting versions of Chevy's, though they did get unique models from time to time.
Saab was GM's European luxury division.
GMC is the redundancy department of redundancy
Buick is entry level luxury, while Cadillac is supposed to be the high end luxury.

Why was Pontiac killed off?

>saturn
Cheap and revolutionary econoboxes
>ponitac
Performance cars and imported (australian) performance
>GMC
Trucks and other heavy duty things. Now make "luxury" crossovers
>Buick
Used to make landyachts. Now import opels and design cars for chinks
>saab
:(
>Hummer
Built for people who wanted to buy a road version of the AM General Humvee. Basically a tahoe morphed with a GM HD truck sold to rich people
>Chevy
Builds pretty much everything from performance cars to people haulers to industrial trucks to pickups.

Radiator fluids
Hey /o/, I know this is a highly debated topic sometimes but I want to know what I can do with the fluid in my radiator.
I live in Arizona and summer is coming around. My truck drives pretty hot in the summer, even now and it hasn't hit triple digits consistently.
Part of this is because my radiator is pretty rusty. So I'm going to be doing a flush tomorrow. Now I know the flush says to use distilled water, so that's what I'll be doing but what I was wondering about is after the fact.
Since it gets so fucking hot here I want to know if after these flushes if I can do a lower level of antifreeze/coolant, like a 70/30 water to coolant mix or something even lower than that because water (as I know) does the best job of cooling, at least better than a 50/50 mix. When it starts to get cooler, I can do another flush for something closer to 50/50

>might as well do 100% water until it cools off and drain half and add pure coolant
>>
>>17140381
Yes, that's what I was thinking but I don't know if adding coolant (even jsut a little bit) can have benefits after the flush.
Like stabilizing the liquid so it doesn't temperature spike or heat up too quickly
>>
>>17140381
Don't do this.
>>17140311
A good flush will help tremendously, as will cleaning out the radiator fins if needed. Look up Chris Fix's radiator flush video. You can dilute the antifreeze more, I don't know specific ratios but a 70/30 should be fine for your local. Just remember antifreeze also keeps the water from rusting the shit out of your cooling system, it's not just to lower the freezing temp.
I inherited a yard full of old car stuff. Mostly junk, but I'm too sentimental to just scrap it.
What's a good way to pass this stuff on? Craigslist? Yard sales? Give it to a local shop?

I have a 89 244 DL and was wondering how compatible a 93 740 turbo wagon would be? Its the stock turbo set up and has a LSD in the rear. Was thinking of buying it and throwing as much as i can from the 740 to the 240. Should work right?
