Radio stays on after shutdown in 2004 Chevy Express 3500 van by
Gene[_6_]
Sometimes, but not always, the radio stays on after I have shut down the
engine and exited the van and closed the door resulting in a dead battery
the next day. No dash lights are on. In this situation, turning the radio
off will still result in the battery being run down the next day when I...

V6 v V8 2014 F150 truck by
Michael[_23_]
I've decided to just go ahead and get another truck. I'm looking at 2014 F150s because I've always driven F150s and 2014 because there are great deals on low mileage used vehicles, like almost half the price of 2015s.
I've also always driven V8 engines because I sometimes cut and haul wood,...

Cleaning gunk off the inside rear window by
geo pearl
My rear window has a layer of gunk
on it that windex couldn't clean.
I was thinking of using 409, now, but
I'm worried about hurting the plastic

Are there any precautions I should know?
Thanks in advance.

seaside rust - does it ruin underneath? by
[email protected]
I came across a Cadillac Catera (rebadged Opel) with only 30,500 miles
on it. 2 owners (same family) and unmodified. Only catch is that it has
been watching sunset over the ocean for many years and is rusted
beyond repair. Interior is still excellent condition, so you could at least
strip it out...

Car advice by
The Real Bev[_5_]
OK, I want to replace my 1988 Caddy with a 2014 or 15 Corolla, probably
from the local dealer. I feel comfy buying old cars, but not cars that
you have to (or choose to -- I'm getting lazy) pay somebody to fix. I
can pretty much tell what's wrong with an old car, but I have no idea at
all...

Oil change intervals? by
Percival P. Cassidy[_2_]
The owner's manual for our 2002 Chrysler 300M specifies 3000mile/3month
oil changes for "severe use" (which includes the short trips that our
car makes most of the time). We bought the car new and have stuck to
that schedule pretty well.
The owner's manual for our 2008 Vibe specifies...
