    I carry flashlight in my truck so i can just look at the fuse and see if its blown, that's why they are transparent. regardless of how cheap this tool may be, it is unnecessary.

    DOT 3700 new Goodyear Wrangler RT/S safe to use?

    If that is the original spare from 1996 (you info says '96) then she probably should not use it at all. It is way past its safe useful life. The face that its never been used means nothing. I was driving from florida to new york last year and had a blow out, put my "new" never used spare on the...

    just received some subs and amp...question

    That is what i meant, and i agree drivers can blow mechanically, everything wears out at some point. no argument there. i used the term dirty power as kinda a layman's term, not wanting to lose anyone with technical terms. :p:

    just received some subs and amp...question

    Clean power Its ALL about clean power. everybody talks about watts, watts, watts. Having more watts does NOT mean more power and better sound. The only thing a wattage rating on a driver is is the amount of heat it can dissipate. If you are delivering clean power to the drivers, you don't...

    New here and have a question

    flip happy Its not the truck that's so flip happy, its the morons driving them. :roll: You cannot expect a 4x4 suv to handle like a sports car. I recently while on a 1300 mile trip had not one but 2 blow outs. I had no problems safely handling the truck and pulling to the shoulder and had no...

    Help! Rounded spark plug!

    It seems like it could work. You must make sure you do not leave and pieces parts in the cylinder or you may have bigger problem down the road. It is something I would try.

    fan clutch nut??

    I had to change the water pump in my 95 xlt a few weeks age and due to the frustration and required technique its taken me this long to post this question. I needed that special wrench set that is supposedly needed to remove the fan clutch. (had to buy it couldn't rent it. $56) When i got it...
