Nissan Xterra rear brakes adjusting too much...? by Nate Nagel[_2_]
Hi all, was asked to look at a friend's Nissan Xterra (rear drum brakes) with a non-specific brake complaint (don't you love those?) Apparently her brother in law replaced the front pads recently and she was told by someone that her rear brakes needed attention. Well I pulled them apart and...

Observation on Crown Vic brake pads by Nate Nagel[_2_]
I just found this really odd... spent yesterday impersonating a professional mechanic as my friend owns a shop and his best tech was on vacation, and Saturday is when they (obviously) do most of their business, and he didn't want to have to turn away customers for lack of a competent...

Remember the sub-prime mortgage fiasco? It's back -> this time it'sauto loans. by MoPar Man
No Car, No FICO Score, No Problem: The NINJAs Have Taken Over The Subprime Lunatic Asylum ------------- One of the most trumpeted stories justifying the US economic "recovery" is the resurgence in car sales, which have now returned to an annual sales clip almost on par with that from before the...

what stops fuel injectors from firing? by [email protected]
my pressure at the Shrader valve is 40.5 psi.A bulb or noid light will tell me if the computer/sensors are ok. But if for instance there's corrosion of the fuel rail itself due to ethanol it won't tell me that (and yes I need to stick a bulb in one receptacle to test for pulses, haven't gotten...

ok, I reread your post. Well I guess if that's the case, that they can check out but break down when a pulse is applied, then a simulated pulse would indicate that. There's pure crank right now. No sign of the engine trying to turn over. If simulating the engine by pulsing them results in no...

slightly OT gasoline pricing by Ivan Vegvary[_2_]
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

tool (ratchet/socket related) question, what is this called and wherecan I get it? by Nate Nagel[_2_]
I know I've seen these before... very thin pieces of metal or plastic with a square hole in the middle, and a knurled or toothed ring around the end... you put them on your ratchet wrench between the head and the socket that you're going to use, so you can set your finger on it to add a little...

Any *good* parts store tools (sockets, wrenches, etc.) by Nate Nagel[_2_]
Do any parts store chains stock high quality tools anymore? Most of the stores around me sell offshore stuff that appears to be inferior to even Craftsman. One exception is NAPA who sells "Carlyle" brand tools, I had to buy one of their external Torx sockets when I had a job that needed to be...
