alignment - pulling? by
[email protected]
'04 Cavalier. Tracks OK with just me in the car, even on moderately
crowned roads - at least, I don't notice pulling. With a moderately
heavy person in the passenger's seat, it pulls right. Not horribly,
but more than enough to noitice. Tire wear seems even.
This car is not worth a ton of...

Question: vehicle inspections by
Ivan Vegvary[_2_]
Most of my life in California and Oregon.
I don't believe any of the western states do inspections other than emissions.
Rarely ever see a broken down car along the highway.
What's the purpose of the inspections by some of the eastern states? Just a money grab? Is it really safer to drive within...

Adair Bordon
This is the USA interstate system (how does the UK system work?)
In the USA, the two-digit interstate highways start at even numbers
of the 10 in the south, then 20 further north, then 30, 40.... 80, and
finally 90 when you get to the northernmost route (not all of which
actually exist but all...

Autonomous Vehicles by

Has anyone had the chance to cut-off in traffic an autonomous car?
Just as a test of course.

Replacing all cooling hoses on my Altima? by
geo pearl
Hiya,
My Altima has 94,000 miles on it
and sometimes I can smell coolant
boiling on the engine block.
I can't find any drip on the floor
nor any change in the overflow tank.
So I know the leak is very minor so
far.

I have been struggling with the alternator from my 1970 Convertible Corvette, for several weeks now and I am still puzzled by the fact that it just does not give any output.
It all began when I tried to get another alternator that had a lot of problems working on another engine, where I wanted to...

waterless radiator coolant by

On a 4WD program on community access TV, there was some dude spruiking this product. Sounded like bulk technobabble.
Rather expensive, and you have to use a dewatering flush first, so

Ford F150 Tempeartuer Gauge won't work by
GWK
1995 Ford F150 6 cylinder 4.9L
My temperature gauge on the dash has been stuck on COLD for about a year.
The heater produces hot air no problem. I changed the thermostat anyway,
but it didn't make any difference. So when my mechanic was doing some other
work on the engine, I asked him to change...

Alternator failure -- twice! by
Sparky[_5_]
Last year the alternator on my Toyota cooked the stator windings. I didnąt
look any further and replaced it with a rebuilt alternator & regulator from
the local parts supplier.
Now (7 or 8 months later) the replacement has failed in the same mode. Iąm
suspicious. Also confused:
If a diode...

Of battery terminals & grease by
Fester Bestertester
There are some members of electronic forums that suggest coating automotive
battery posts with grease ("any king--axle, lithium, copper") before
attaching cable-end clamps to the posts and swear that it doesn't affect the
connection adversely.
Are they nuts? Grease between terminal elements?...

Test For Determing If A Front End Alignment Is Required ? by
Bob[_53_]
Hello,
What a good, simple, test to determine if your car needs a front
end alignment ?
e.g., take your hands off the wheel and see how long it takes for
the car to drift to the right or left ?
Probably not a very good test; are there better ones a driver can perform ?
Or,...?

A few times, going up a hill that was a little slick with packed snow,
it seemed like I got no response when I gave it more throttle. The
"low track" light was on, so I assume this was traction control in
action.
My question is, whether this is always a good thing. I've...

Ziebart vs "The Protector" vs ?? by
[email protected]
I don't know nowadays how much Ziebarting is. I paid about $300 in 1995 on a new Ford Windstar. I still have it -- with just one modest rust area. If its nowadays $800 plus, I'd skip it too and do what you can yourself.
What's the best? I was told a "secret" by my autobody guy after using...

94 Saturn sl2 collant light by
[email protected]
I've started driving my mothers 1994 Saturn sl2. Starting on a cold day once I had the coolant low/trans overheat light come on intermittantly. I checked the fluids and they seem okay.
Hasn't happened since, but I'm wondering if there is something I should worry about.

GM 2.8L V6 Engine Problem by

Hey Larry. Actually what a cooler thermostat means is that it opens to allow coolant flow through your engine at a lower temperature than the standard 190 degrees thermostat. That being so the coolant would be cycling through your engine at a safer temperature. The coolant would be colder than...
