    Cloudy Headlights-How to

    I know this is a stale thread, but I bought a kit that consisted of a 3" sanding disc that takes a tape on sponge and some type of abrasive liquid. It is truly amazing, BUT after turning the headlights on my daughters coralla s into brand new quality lights, I started on my ex. I ran out of...

    Check Air Ride System Message

    mine cycles a LOT. the shocks are tired and I think the lines may leak. If i have any load on, it will cycle until the compressor cuts out and i get the check air system. After I shut the ignition off and restart, it works again. I think its just time for new shocks. If you find something else...

    U-Haul won't rent me an auto transport trailer

    they just wont. Its a relic of the wonderful roll over days with the exploders. The only way around it is to borrow a buddy's rig to get the trailer, then hook up to it. IM not saying lie,,, the very thought.... just the less said the bettah.

    5.0 Repair or Replace?

    Ok, once I realize I ask dumb questions... they come much easier... So, the 5.0 sounds like a candidate for euthenasia; IM seeing prices anywhere from 3500 to 6600 for a stock rebuild. I cant see paying to have a used engine installed just to take a chance it will puke a month later. Id...

    So, there I was...

    That is straight up TRUE! I actually called around... Here in Salty.. the going price for plugs and wires IF I supplied the parts goes for 300 to 325... Not bad for 30 minutes of work... here is a look through the driver's side wheel well.
