I like the sure footedness of an all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive, but where I live (seattle), I only need this a few days per year. The rest of the time, an all wheel drive just uses up more gas unnecessarily. Is there a passenger car that is normally front wheel drive but can be switched into...

I have a 96 s-10 blazer 4x4 --- 4.3 vortex --- 4door--- with a GU6 rear end (3.42) and want swap the rear axle assembly complete for a G80 (limited slip) same gears. What other year and models possible have the 3.42 --G80? I want to get rid of the extra tire slippage in 2-drive when in snow and on...

I bought some Yokohama tires at Discount *ires. They have a 60K warranty. But after 15K miles, the tire tread indicator is already showing. Are there tires that actually last to their rated warranties? Thanks, Andy

How often car needs to be aligned? (I have Toyota Camry 98 V6 LE ) Should it be combined with oil change and tire rotation, or is needed less frequently? Does any chain (or local garage in Chicago area) have a great "lifetime" alignment deal?

Wal-mart auto centre, charge $40, 2-year warranty Sears, charge $60-70, 5-year warranty, but no time, got replaced from wal-mart, how good is this?. Does anybody have any idea?.

A couple of weeks ago, I posted the below, and got a couple of suggestions. I put the original spark plug back in cylinder 1, checked under the hood in the dark, disconnected the battery cable so the computer would re-learn the car, etc. but the miss is still there. It is intermittent, though, and...

We have a 1989 (I think, sorry) Mercury Sable. The wheels have a special lug nut that requires a special tool to take it off. Somewhere back there the tool got lost. Now if we have a flat tire we're sunk. Any suggestions? I wish somehow we could get them off and just replace them with plain ones,...

As per sublect line.....no spark. Verified crank sensor working (.7v pulses), swapped ignition module with a known good one, and have 12v at the module input. I know from past experience that a bad coil van completely knock out the spark on the rest of the coils....tried using 1 coil at a time with...

Who makes the best air filters? Can you assume the quality of the air filter would be the same as their oil filters?

Hi - I'm trying figure out if crankshaft counterweights can be effectively used on other engines besides 90 degree v8s with crossplane cranks. In reading about crossplane v8s, it is explained that the crankshaft causes pistons to go in opposite directions at each end of the engine which would...

Regarding use of this Costco Chevron Delo 400SDE CK-4/SN SAE 15W40 diesel engine oil in a gasoline engine... o <https://i.postimg.cc/MHSSNVZT/dieseloil.jpg> Long story short, I just want to ask advice of the "what oil" type, only it's quite a different question than one might normally...

a post I made just recently reminded me, I used to have a timing light, I think it was made by a company called Optilux, it didn't look like a regular timing light but like a big flashlight. It had a built in dwell meter and tach (digital) among other things - might have had more features but...

A friend of mine's gf has a VW Jetta (fully manual transmission), I think an 05 or around that vintage. He goes to 'rescue' her because she can't shift out of 1st gear- depressing the clutch doesn't disengage it, and once she pulls it out of gear she can't put it into any other gear with the...

Hi, I'm having a problem with the wipers on my 85 Caprice. Here's the sequence of events: 2 days ago wipers start acting weird : They "park" themselves after each cycle, in Low and High. They park for about a second, then start the next cycle. In "intermittent", they work normally, except...

Hello, I just found out that a local fuelling station sells methanol. Is it possible to use a 10 to 15% mix of methanol in 1997 850 Volvos without any problems to the fuel systems? I had hoped that ethanol would be sold at my local fuelling station (along with the biodiesel they already sell); as...

Hi all, am thrashing on Jeep again... vehicle is mostly rust free (surprisingly, since it's from PA) but I've started ripping the old rear bumper and gas tank skid plate off so as to install a new rear bumper that isn't made from poop and fail, and has proper D-ring tabs and a Class 3...

I've been trying to find out why my car won't start. The battery sits at 12 volts. The lights, radio, and wipers work. I tested the neutral safety switch by starting it in neutral reverse. After that I tried the starter bypass I forgot to reconnect the power to the solenoid before the...
