    Who's stock tranny has outlasted mine??

    when I change my tranny fluid on my wife's truck I just loosen one side of the pan and let it drian from there. Once it stops running from there I just remove the whole pan. No mess at all may get a bit on my hands but that is a given.

    Lots of symptoms, help me diagnose!

    That is very interesting. I don't think you would need to mess wiht the fuel pump if you have replaced the regulartor. When my pump went crazy it totaly foulded up the regulator. What kind of gas do you use? Hopefully someone else will chime in here. I am running out of ideas.

    Lots of symptoms, help me diagnose!

    First thing I would check is the computer codes. This will at least give you a good starting point depending on if you have some codes or there is nothing. I had the same problem with mine. THe computer codes reported a bad O2 sensor. Not always will this be the case though. In my truck the...

    Raidiator leak?

    On my last flush I ran a presure test and found that I had two leaks. Now that it is getting warmer out they are starting to leak really bad. The two leaks are located at the top of the radiator right where the clips are. there are no holes, but it spits out antifreeze pretty bad. Is it...

    Need some inventive advice. Some jerkoff left his chevy out of gear in my parking lot and it rolled into the back of my X. the nice part is that there is no body damage. The bad part is that when it hit my X it broke insides of the rear hatch. Anyone have any good ideas to get into the back...

    Water Spots on the glass

    I wash windows for a living and what I have found works best is a product called "A-MAZ" You just have to get the window really wet and rub this stuff on and then wash off with water. If that doesn't work the only other thing that will take them off is sulferic acid. I would highly recomend...

    Beaver Town

    It was just a warning. BCSO doesn't patrol all the time but they do go down there. I have seen them in expeditions and on Kawasaki KLR's. They like to hide in the bush. They mostly go out at night though, kids like to go down there and party, fires and that sort of thing. The place is owned...

    Willys Jeep

    wanna take a road trip, worried about high miles

    If you keep it in good condition and don't hear any weird noises or have bald tires you should do fine. Mainly make sure your fluids have been changed and everything runs fine. I have kept good care of my Explorer and curently I have over 487,000 miles on it. still runs like a charm (knock on wood)

    I have to ask a question and please don't get upset with me. To each our own. Anyway...I wanted to ask why in the world someone would consider putting something on their face if it hurts and or dry's out your skin? I have had very bad acne..just as bad as matt. I tried a ton of drugs and all...

I am useing vitamin and face wash from a company called USANA. I looked as you did in the first pic and then two months later...

    Plugs.....

    I don't think or as far as I know there is no tool that will pull the boot off. the only thing that I could suggest is to use some WD-40 and try to slip them off. Once that rubber gets old they tend to stick pretty good. I had this problem on one of my older cars. Couldn't get the little bugger...
