Tread depth and tire life by
Jim[_12_]
Can anyone explain why all-terrain tires with deep treads don't last
significantly longer than car tires with relatively shallow treads? By the
time my A/T tires are getting old, they still have more apparent tread
depth than some new street tires. Is wear mostly about the hardness of the...

this car up cheap enough that I'm prepared to install a rebuild if
needed. Before I spend the big bucks I would like to confirm the worst -

1995 Dodge Caravan radiator drain valve by
Steve Walker[_1_]
I changed the water pump, and now the drain valve will not stop
dripping. It's about 1 drop every 3 seconds. How does the dang thing
come out so I can replace (I'm guessing here) the o-ring? It's a plastic
petcock, kinda like a water faucet. The valve turns out about 1/4 to 1/2
turn, then...

dumb question: will OBD II tell me if the O2 sensors are wearing out? by
Chuck D. Bones
I don't know how smart the OBD II is on my 98 Surburban. The car has
100K mi on it and the O2 sensors may well be original. Before I think
about changing them, will the OBD II give me any indication that they
need to be replaced? Car runs fine and passes smog, but as we all know,

Nissan Air Conditioner Problem - Works Fine When It Works by
Bill Simpson
I have a 2000 Nissan Altima and the A/C is starting to act up. Some
times it will cool and some times it won't. The coolant level is
fine. There doesn't seem to be a problem with the switch. I have
been told that it might be the air gap, trash in an expansion valve
and that if it's either I...

Eldorado door pulls by
laocmo
Recently bought a 2001 Eldo after checking a dozen out. I noticed a
common fault with at least three of them was a cracked and split vinyl
door pull on the driver's side. The finger slot definately needs some
reinforcing. Anything out there as an after market add-on?

specifies type 24T.
After considerable research, I settled on the EverStart MAXX-24FN,...
