coolant change......now heater too hot yet gauge too low by
[email protected]
94 aerostar:
changed coolant and tried to burp, but trouble. Now
heater runs very hot (very quickly) yet temp gauge
barely moves. I'm afraid to drive it since I can't
depend on the gauge to tell me if the engine is
over heating. The air out of the heater is so hot it
almost burns my hand. Any...

5W-20 in Hot Climate? by
Z.Z.
The manaul for my new (to me) 2004 Taurus specifies 5W-20 oil. I live in
Arizona where it's pretty warm most of the time with 110F not uncommon in
the summer (98F today...). Seems to me that 5W-20 might be a little thin
for that climate. My Ranger with the same engine (3.0l) specified and I
used)...

sell very well as a...

Julie P.
Anyone know of a good brand of brake pads, preferably with a lifetime
warranty? My left pad is squealing, and it is Albany brand, from AutoZone,
but I've had to replace one or both of my pads about once every 18 months.
They do have a lifetime warranty though, which is nice.
Also, any...

Hello everyone;
I have encountered a problem and wonder if I should finally
let my car go. It is a 1995 Ford Crown Victoria, with the police interceptor
package. Possibly, one of the clutch packs in the transmission has failed,
as there is a whine when I try to move it, but no drive. The level...
