Travelling at 60 km/h on the Glow Worm Tunnel Rd, Newnes State Forest several weeks ago, the bonnet smacked into the windscreen without warning. Luckily the road was straight and there were no on-coming cars-I stopped the vehicle without further incident. Upon inspection, two bolt/screws that hold...

I have a 2001 GMC Duramax truck that had the injectors fail and fill the motor with deisel fuel to the point where it was blowing out of the fill tube. The truck only has 80,000 miles on it. There is a GM service bulliten that was issued that says they have extended the warranty on the injectors to...

I saw this advertisement from Audi on their second records on driving up Kaipola ski jump in Finland. It was a rather impressive achievement and photos. I could not believe that a car can climb a hill with slope of 80 degrees, even on a regular ground (not icy road). When I dig out more information...

What have you found are the worst kind of clothing stains you get (or have seen any friends or relatives obtain) while you're driving in your car.

I live in New England and just bought my first jeep. I plan on driving it in the snow when most others would be staying home. I do not want studs or chains on my tires. Will my new stock jeep perform well in snow? I know that the driver is the most important thing but I bought the Jeep so that...

I'm not sure about the Jeep which uses the Mercedes turbo-diesel but you won't see the Discovery diesel for a while. There are no plans to export the current Disco with the TD5 unit to North...

Looking for a used vehicle. Will a jeep cherokkee 4x4 go as good on ice/snow as say a full size 4x4 pickup with a v8? I have a two wheel drive old truck and could not even get out of my driveway. Had to have my dad pull me out with his 4x4.

Today I installed the Powertrax No-Slip in my 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD. It's a regular open differential. The installation, while sometimes challenging for a first-timer, went perfectly. Everything was exactly "by the book." No problemo!!! BUT... Then came time for the final "test." It failed....

Always made me wonder why SUV 4x4's sold at all in suburban, urban and most rural areas. 4-wheel-drive is not needed, generally unless one intends to go off-road. And where can one go off-road in a suburban town? Perhaps in the town park? Or maybe a neighborhood golf course? No, this type...

Here's the deal: Just bought this Jeep from a guy and 10 miles after I bought the Jeep I stop at a light and steam pours out from the hood. Upon inspection, the steam is coming from the very back of the engine. All of the heater hoses look good and the freeze plug is intact. I can drive...

I'm in the market for an SUV/Pickup truck. I'm curious on what new vehicles are really 4WD? When I mean real 4WD, I mean a vehicle that can send power equally to all 4 wheels, but also pass power to the non-spinning wheel. Here's why I ask... I use to own a 2000 Jeep Wrangler (4 cyl. base...

Explain your reasoning!! Thx

I need a new TOY!!! I have two chevy 4x4s and want to build up some thing smaller. The older Zukes look like the way to go. Don't know a thing about these 4x4s and I sure could use some help with some web sites or discussion groups. Thanks in advance, Dave

4x4 newbie. Rude and Intimidating Service - Jurie Swart Motors, Cape Town South Africa I want to buy a 4x4, but I am new to the 4x4 market. I am a first time buyer in the off-road market. I went to Jurie Swart Bakkie Dealership in Cape Town three weeks ago and explained "newbie staturs" to one of...

I am selling my 98 Silverado 3/4 ton, and would like some feedback on what vehicle would make a reliable commuting vehicle, but yet still be able to hit the trails. I am frequently on the backroads of Colorado and I was thinking about a Jeep. I prefer the CJ7, but perhaps there is something...

Looking at various Yukon XL/ Denali models. Is there an advantage to 4WD vs AWD vehicles? My 97 GMC Suburban will go through deep snow if needed. Will a newer AWD vehicle or a 4WD "when needed" vehicle perform as well? Advice needed!

hey everybody, i drive a 2001 QX4 ... anyways the front set of Michelin LTX M/S is wearing out on the outside edge ... i have rotated them regularly, etc. ... still they are almost completely bald on the outside edge ... this is at 60k miles .... could this be under-inflation, alignment problem...
