Hi, I just wired up my new Hella driving lights - I'm pretty sure everything is ok but for some reason instead of coming on with the high beam - they turn off! I've tested all three leads running to the head lights and they all have power when the ignition is off and the keys out. However to come...

OK... I just came across $6,000. I want a 4x4 of some kind. I've been looking at older trucks in that price range. I've also been thinking about getting an older truck (for about 1,000 - 2,000 dollars) and putting about $4,000 into it. I'm not a Toyota expert and I'm not a mechanic either. I'm...

Recently purchased my 88 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and had it in the shop for a tune up and carburetor cleaning. It has a little over 150K on it and I noticed a few days ago a tapping sound whenever any load is put on the engine (going up hill or accelerating). It doesn't tap when idling and seems to...

I recently bought a Ford Ranger 4X4 Supercab and the spare is a Continental P235/70 R 16 whereas the tires on the truck P255/70 R 16. Of course the diameters are consequently not the same and I was wondering what that would that do to the rear differential if I had a flat tire on one of the...

Having health insurance is great. Not having it is terrible. Between the two extremes are a lot of gray areas, paperwork and a host of confusing medical and legal terms.If you're lucky, you'll have some choices when it comes to health insurance. "Your choice may be whether to take your own...

Hi All, It is time for me to get a new used 4wd car. I like the Toyota Highlander and somewhat fond of the Honda CRV. Problem: the resale value on Toyota and Honda is through the roof. I can not afford them. Is there another 4wd manufacturer that is similarly

I seek a European, Japanese, or Korean 4x4 chassis to give to a coachbuilding firm in Malaysia to convert into a double-decked mobile lab/office. Ability to go faster than 60-70 kilometers/hour is not needed Suggestions?

I recently was given an 89 F250 7.3L Deisel 4x4, many miles and ok condition make it little to no trade in value, hence the free nature. Back to my question. It was driven into a ditch while my brother-in-law was driving it to work early one morning, he fell asleep. The pickup was repaired at...

Is there a way that a stock throttle body on a 1994 GMC K1500 350 can be modified with larger injectors? A bit more fuel with a ram air setup and headers should equate to a bit more snort, right? Any sources for getting parts of this nature? Looking for opinions and any advice that might be...

This may be one of the dumbest questions ever asked on this NG but here goes: why raise a truck? I have a Nissan Frontier 2WD and it could use a little more height as it sometimes scrapes going through dips. But I have seen many 4WD trucks that are so high you need a ladder to get in them. What...

Greetings, What is the preferred way to remove a starter from a 94 Toyota 4x4 standard bed (4cyl, manual transmission)? I'm having a difficult time figuring out how I'm supposed get to it with a socket, let alone correctly position it back when I go to re-install. Is there some secret way to do...
