Guys, I *have* to run a front plate... by Nate Nagel[_2_]
I'm ****ed at GM right now... not homicidally ****ed, mind you, just a little more so than the usual low level annoyance at their craptastic products. However, this is an example of why people continue to think that their products are cheap junk. My company car is a current body Impala, it's...

Witness: 'Shame on you, Toyota, for being so greedy' by john
Some excellent testimony videos. Looks like Toyota USA is only a sales front, no engineering know-how, manufacturing or safety recall decisions (all done in Japan). And that Lentz guy doesn't seem to know anything but sales. What a shame. Videos on:...

Does any engine's PCV hose have a intercooler* ( for hot climate ) ? by TE Cheah
If PCV valve is plastic, user will not notice that the air flow from rocker cover to inlet manifold is hot ( in a hot climate ), only if valve is metal, user can touch & notice this heat. I think if a * is added, air intake will be much cooler til (i) EGR ( consumes electricity - scarce when...

failed strut mount??? by George[_23_]
'99 Cavalier. About 15K miles ago, I replaced the rear struts and their upper mounts. Today, I found that the metal sleeve in one of the mounts (ie, where the strut rod goes through, and tightens down on) had ripped out, and the top of the strut rod was just flapping around inside...

So the recent recalls still don't fix 70% of problems out there! The electronic throttle's engineering seems far inferior to those of GM and Ford. Looking forward to see what Akio Toyoda says. Under "Live Video: Watch the Toyota...
