New Tools. by
[email protected]
I was reading the Car Clinic section in my snail mail February 2010
Popular Mechanics magazine.
Powerbuilt Digital Torque Adapter, cost about $50.00 (for calibrating
torque wrenches) and, OK Spark Plug Sensor.
Magazine article doesn't give the websites of those two tools, easy
enough to look them...

connection from the alternator dropped the current draw to about 9mA.
This is a...

Steel Wheels on a Subaru by
Tim Wescott
My wife inquired at the tire place about using steel wheels for her
winter tires on her 2004 Outback.
They told her that Subarus are made for aluminum wheels, and don't do
well with steel. This sounds like BS to me, but I haven't actually tried
it so I don't know.
Is there truth to that, or...

tracking down suspension rattle in dodge dakota by
David Margrave
I just replaced the lower ball joints (and uppers a couple years
back), and also CV axles which needed it (they were clunking in
reverse when backing out of the driveway). It has decreased the
suspension rattle I occasionally feel through the steering wheel and
brake pedal, but not eliminated it. ...

Fire and Drive by
phaeton
This morning it is -12F, and our projected high for the day is going

starting.
You sure couldn't do that in the old days with carburetors and...
