I have amassed quite collection of stickers over the past couple of years and I have been debating what to do with them. Currently, I have a nice, clean toolbox that would have a lot of room for stickers, if I chose to put them on there. I cannot decide, so I thought I would for your opinion...

Here is my problem. I have an HDTV with a built it tuner and the second largest TV antenna that Fry's electronics sells in my attic. Nearly all of my channels come in clear and consistent except for those on the bottom end of the frequency range (channels 2 and 9). I was hoping that some one...

I searched for techniques on how to clean out a plugged EGR tube, but came up empty handed. Here is the situation on my wife's friend's 2001 Honda Passport (rebadged Isuzu Rodeo). The car will not pass emissions due to a CEL for "insufficient EGR flow" (I don't have the exact code with me). I...

I hate to start a new thread, but I searched and did not find anything on either the Dick Cepek Mud Country or the Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ. I am shopping for new tires and I am not ruling anything out and these are two that I am considering. Information on these tires is pretty scarce, so I...

My wife drives a '97 Chevy Lumina. We have been having an issue with the AC system. The air distribution has been acting up. When you step on the gas with the fan on, and the vents selected, the air will start coming out through the floor outlets and / or the defrost outlets. I am suspecting...

I have a 2000 Ranger XLT 4x4. Shortly after I hauled an engine in the back of my truck, I started to hear a rattle / clanging sound coming out from beneath my truck. It tends to be the loudest in between 25 - 30 mph (also the speed range that my mud tires tend to resonate.... related...
