    Finally asking for help... both ho2 circuits out

    I posted this same post on another forum, before realizing that forum looks totally dead. I apologize for posting in 2 places, not something I normally do so just wanted to mention that up front. Alright, I have been working on this for quite some time now. Finally, I've decided to ask for...

    Radiator fan issues?

    There have been many radiator fan issues posted here lately, with regard to cracks on the stock plastic radiator fan. When doing my water pump change, I noticed them on mine as well, but I inspected the fan, pulled at it, etc and it all seemed very solid. My old truck is going on 20 years old...

    Tip: Hazard lights work, turn signals don't

    I decided I would post this simply because this was an annoying issue for me that took lots of discussing to figure something very simple out. I'm a newbie when it comes to repairing cars, especially when it comes to anything electrical so forgive me if this sounds stupidly easy. If your hazard...

    Blower not working

    The other day my wife went to the store and said to me that the A/C wasn't working. She would turn the knob and no air would come out. After she got out of the store and was on her way home, it worked fine. It continued to work for not much longer, then died while I was driving. The blower...

    Oil pressure drops at idle on a Chevy Astro van.

    My erm.... Aerostro has a problem (yea yea, ok it's a chevy astro not a ford aerostar, but you can't be too picky on a $500 budget). When idling, especially once warmed up, the oil pressure goes down to 15-20psi. A touch of gas gets the pressure back, but my question relates to finding the exact...

    Odd drive train problem (differential maybe)

    I'd like to start by saying I'm not a mechanic :(. I am trying very hard to learn, but I'm still very new so bear with me while I learn heh. About 2 months ago, my rear end began whining at about 25-35mph. The whine would go away at faster or slower speed ranges, but tended to appear in that...

    Very strange trailer light malfunction (I'm a newbie so it may be simple to you guys)

    If you'd like to see a very quick version of this post scroll to the bottom to the "Just a quick recap:" part. I have personally never seen this before and have no clue what to make of it. Best I can tell, the trailer itself is working fine with all the wiring etc. but perhaps I'm wrong...

    Transmission leak -- finding the origin (videos)

    Alright, at first I thought it was pretty bad trouble, due to the sound associated with it. Turns out, I wasn't thorough enough when checking if it was the cat. converter, and it was. The leak is still there though, and am unsure how to fix it. Recently, I did change the oil, and before...

    Noise from transmission @ 2,000RPM

    I get a rattling noise from my transmission at 2000 RPM. I am atleast 90% certain it's from the transmission but the source of the noise is still under question. The car does it in park, or driving. Right at 2,000RPM. Above or below the sound slowly fades away. Does anyone know what it may be...

    *Warning* Safety issue -- throttle sticking

    Whew, finally I have downed this horrible problem I have been having. The problem was, the throttle would stick when pressed hard, or near being floored. Very scary and yet a very easy fix. After getting a throttle body cleaner and cleaning the entire thing it was still sticking. Finally, I...

    Newb alert :P

    Hello everyone, I'm a newb here. I am a newb to cars also. I am very intelligent and learn very quickly though, so hopefully this will apply with cars as well. I have been trying to learn absolutely as much as I can about cars and especially running cars economically lately. I am most interested...
