This thing has been leaking for a while now so I finally decided to do something about it. What I have read here looks like I only need to replace the pinion seal and get a repair sleeve. So, two questions.. First, do I have to replace the crush sleeve? And second, what is a Crush Sleeve...

I have a 2000 Olds Intrigue making a lot of noise. The problem started some time after replacing the front hub bearings with cheap parts, big mistake. The noise has gotten so loud it drives me nuts. I jacked the car up and can not tell what side is doing it, they are both nice and tight, no...

Please help if you can. My Dads friend Don has a 2K Town Car. The A/C blower quit so I said bring it over and Ill check it out. I disconnected the large 2-Wire Connector to the fan, un-bolted the fan from the duct work, turned it and check resistance, checked ok so I put 12V directly...

My fuel pump crapped out on Monday so I decided to fix it today. I thought I could do the cut a hole in the floor trick and make an access plate to cover it latter but Im not sure if this is going to work. Im kind of stuck here and not sure if I can cut this. Take a look at the pictures...

I have no idea why the rear end decided to start this today. I need the Ex at 6 am tomorrow. So, this is the problem, when I hit the gas (not so hard) it spins the tires. I don't think it should do that, it never has before. I just dont know where to go from here, I need to be in...

I hate to use the 911 thread for a non ford question but I'm kind of at an impasse here and I dont want to do the wrong thing and end up hurting myself. Im working on my 2000 Olds Intrigue, its your basic w-body GM. Im replacing most front end parts. I need to remove the lower control arm to...

Once again I have another Oldsmobile question, why cant the rest of my family just drive fords? My mother has this 2000 Olds and the ac only runs when its in the mood to. The charge is good so I suspect the low pressure switch is the problem. I found the switch and pulled the plug, it has 3...

Please help, My sister had her 99 Venture Mini-van towed to my house for a no start. I can jump the starter with a screwdriver and start it, but turning the key sends no power to the starter. Where is the park switch on this? What should I be checking? Please help me get this...

I just pulled the O2 B1S1, because it was totally dead. Had to torch the snot out of it to get it out. It looks like it left some crap behind in the exhaust bung hole. I cant start the new one and dont want to trash it. Does anyone know what size tap I can chase this with? Would Pepboys...

I have a small leak in the rear differential. So I thought I would just top it off until the weather allows more time to change the gasket. I looked in the manual and became completely confused. So I looked around here and obviously didn't know what to search for, so I'm still confused about...

My Mothers 2000 Olds needs to go in for the emission test. It has a bad o2 sensor and the Anti-Lock light is on. I plan to replace the o2 sensors but will they fail it in Illinois because the Anti-Lock light is on? Im sure its a bad hub bearing these things were known for that but I dont...

My Son has a 02 Olds Alero with a v6 and it has a P0401 code. Thats easy, on my Ford it would be a DPFE. But this Olds doesn't have one. The best thing I can find is it may be the MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) Sensor. If anyone has any experience with these GM engines or can point me...

Anyone have one of these yet? http://www.viper.com/SmartStart/ My Brother and Me just got a 2000 F350 diesel, it will be kept up in St.Germain and it gets dam cold up there. I was thinking something like this would be a good idea to run the truck a couple times per week. Any...

In October I replaced the PCV, the larger hose kept falling off so I decided to put a hose clamp on it and replace the PCV while I was at it. Ever since then it occasionally acts like it has a vacuum leak. It will sputter while driving or have a loss of power, I'll just let off on the gas and...

I was looking around the Forums and could not find a complete listing of all Ford OBD-II Codes and definitions. I thought something like this would or should be a Sticky but I couldn't find it, so here it is. This whole thing started because I was having a problem with my 98 that was...

Just wanted to say Hi from the Chicago Suburbs. I joined yesterday and so far have learned many things about my 98 x. Now if I can only get it to run reliably again I would be a happy guy and could go back to work. At least I figured out how to fix the radio:D My 98 x has the 4.0L sohc...
