    Quick Disconnect.....YEA RIGHT!!!

    OK, long story short. I can not get my fuel filter disconnected. Can I basically cut both side of the line and then replace it with some rubber replacement line and clamps when I install the new filter? This would surely save me that headache and rage that I am experiencing in not being able...

    I have a 2000 Ex sport, auto awd, 4.0 SOHC V6. Got to thinking, what would I do if I had an issue with my current (auto) trans in my truck. Would I really want to put the money into fixing it or buying a new one? After some thought (not much, haha), it became clear that if given the chance I...

    Driver Side Door Lock Problems!!

    Recently my driver side door lock has been acting up. As in, it is extremely rare that it unlocks when it should. It would take multiple (sometimes to a ridiculous degree) tries, wether it was with the keyless or with the key itself. I took some athletic tape and anchored it to the "button"...

    Premade VS. Custom Cat Back Exhaust

    I have noticed that many members suggest getting a local exhaust shop to make you a custom cat back rather than buying one. I was wondering what the pros and cons of this option are? I would guess that the local shop will give you a much greater level customization due to the fact they...
