1995 Ford F150 6 cylinder 4.9L My temperature gauge on the dash has been stuck on COLD for about a year. The heater produces hot air no problem. I changed the thermostat anyway, but it didn't make any difference. So when my mechanic was doing some other work on the engine, I asked him to change...

Now that tesla has a useful cage in model s it could sell it to the highest bidder who can promptly plunk a gasoline engine under the hood or into the trunk and sell 10x cars than tesla would for all their electric models combined.

Hi all, am trying to "rust proof" a vehicle... when I got it the old battery had spewed acid everywhere and destroyed not only itself, but the coating on the hold down and all of the battery cables. I purchased replacement heavier gauge cables (cheaper than buying the ones from the dealer!)...

I understand the psychology of $x.99 pricing. I don't understand why almost all gas pricing (Oregon) ends in an odd number. Asked my ARCO station manager and withdrew from the discussion after being told that there were more odd numbers than even. Ivan Vegvary

I had some powersteering problems on my 2002 Ford Escort. So I ended up chaging out the power steering pump. After bleeding it for awhile (turning wheel back and forth..raised and then sitting) It finnally started working right. However, after the vehicle sits around for a few hours, the...

Friend of mine owns a shop... this comes up far too often unfortunately. Usually it's not a lost wheel lock key but a lug nut that's been overtorqued and then left on for a year or two, head strips, uncomfortable call to owner, then carefully blowing the head of the lug off with a cutting torch...

2012 Kia Optima EX GDI 4cyl. - Mileage well below estimates of 22-24 city, 34-35 hwy. Retired couple I know, otherwise thrilled with the car, handling, quality of interior and exterior. They actually calculate their own mileage, and claim they consistently get about 16-17 city, and no more than...

My new-to-me 1997 Saab has an equally vintage cellphone antenna on the hatch window. It's kind of cute in a yuppiesque way, but I'd prefer to remove it. The base is a metal or plastic pad, maybe 2 cm square. I assume there's some kind of adhesive. What are my best means of removal? Something that...

Do you have to remove the drive axle to replace the upper ball joint?

We bought a 2008 Pontiac Vibe that has one corner of the rear bumper pushed in. It looks as though the dent could be pushed out by levering something between the inside of the bumper and the frame of the vehicle, but is this advisable? Any other method preferable? Perce
