Is it possible to install a group 78 battery in a 03 Mustang Mach 1? If not, I am not sure what I am going to do with this thing. I bought it with the intention of installing it then I chickened out. It's been about 5 months since I bought it so I'm sure I can't take it back now to...

Sorry about that. Premium Guard is what I meant. I would think the flexible nature of fiber end discs vs metal might make the difference. My reasoning is doesn't TG have better filtering efficiency that Premium Guard? Also, my concern is what Motorking said years ago that filtering media...

With the problems with the ultra and the endurance, why isn't the go to the Tough Guard the go to instead of Prime Guard since neither are full synthetic?

The only thing is right now it is running fine. Why call a service technician? They follow the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" method instead of an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I repaired the wheels and guides because they let it get so bad practically all the wheels were...

Thank you for your advice. I will leave it be. The reason why I asked was I repaired the wheels for the upper rack and the guides. They definitely have hard water. I will wait until this one croaks then send her the videos on how to do it.

My parents have North of 165k miles on their 13 Grand Caravan. Just a couple sensors, thermostat, gas cap, and the stow n go seat got stuck once. That's about it. My dad used to have a 14 and a 16 model for company car. The 14 had 70k on it when it was totalled. The 16 had 70k when he...

I'm visiting a relative who from her own description has NEVER cleaned the filter on her dishwasher nor ever used a dishwasher cleaner. The dishwasher is roughly 5 years old now. Is this something like neglecting the transmission fluid that after a certain point, if you maintain it, it could...

If they had the old completed end cap that Champion had, this would not be a problem. Add unnecessary engineering adds potential for problems to appear.

I have never been the biggest fan of the change first brands did to champion's dome end cap. Having a solid end cap and a non-combo leaf spring/bypass valve leaves a lot less room for failure. This unfortunately proves my concerns right. The leaf spring/bypass valve might be okay on a fiber...

If you want it go for it. Don't let peer pressure determine the decision for you. You buy what you want. The truth is most "SUVs" are just as much a soccer mom mobile as a minivan only they get the job done not nearly as well as a minivans. My cousin is a bachelor with no kids It owns a...

I always found FWD easier to turn as well because in the event of sliding you can apply the throttle which will help to work the vehicle in the direction that you're turned. How do you do that with rear wheel drive It just drives you further until you hit something. My aunt and her husband have...

Chrysler 300M and all other LH cars. (But this time entry level versions use the 3.3 instead of the 2.7) Dodge Stealth (but this time Pentastar powered) 97-03 Grand Prix 96-02 Dodge Viper GTS (parts availability) 92-95 Taurus SHO 05-07 Ford Five Hundred (no CVT this time) 97-04 Dodge...

So this is a widespread problem? I thought it was because someone did shotty work on my former ES350.

Sure you did! In the midst of a wintery mix storm, we passed a Crown Victoria in the ditch in our fwd Taurus. Cops I have talked to locally discussed how much trouble they had with the Crown Victoria in the snow and how much better the fwd Taurus was with snow. Our last rwd daily driver was...

It's not exclusively about 0-60 times. It's the rumble of the V8, doing donuts, doing a burn out. A Camry 2.2 doesn't have any cool factor to it that a Grand Marquis accidentally has. Also, if he's in Colorado do you REALLY want a teenager to have a car that is so poor at snow regardless of...
