Auto Zone and NAPA say their rebuilt domestic alternators and starters are as good as the new ones they sell. Do you agree or not? Dealer also sells rebuilt starters etc. Would a rebuild from dealer be better than a NAPA rebuilt starter? I avoid buying new from dealer because they are like...

With all the mini computers in cars its common knowledge not to hose off the engine. One drop of water can short out a $400 to $1200 mini computer. But using the undercarriage wash option at automatic car washes does the same thing. Its even worse because the pressure is a lot higher than...

On compresing the spring, do I need to really compress it a lot? Should I attach the top of the strut before the bottom? Also...

Anyone know how hard it is to change a Rack and Pinion on a 96 Nissan Pathfinder? I took it to a mechanic, and they thought that the Rack and Pinion is shot. What it is doing is when I hit a bump, even at low speeds, the steering shakes. Thanks for the help. Chad

recent purchased a 76 mg midget and the previous owner has placed some sort of industrial strength tape over a couple of small sections on the door panels (4" square) and the lip of the hood. It seems like it was an attempt to cover up areas where the original paint was strached up rather than...

I have a 99 Ranger with a 4.0L V6 and a 5-Speed AOD Transmission. The transmission sometimes randomly hesitates on 1-2 or 2-3 shifts, sometimes jerking the truck and sometimes the 1-2 shift will be so hard that the U-joint pops in the rear. Doesn't break, just makes a loud popping sound. Also, if...

Hey, I just need some advice and comments. I bought an 86 mazda b-series truck with a 4 cylinder motor, 5 speed tranny, and 2 wheel drive. I do get 32 mpg on the highway, but I want to beef the truck up and trick it out. It has major rust holes in the truck bed, but not at all bad anywhere else,...
