    Any experience with Gabriel Guardian Ready Mounts?

    I haven't used the Gabriel Guardian however I just installed the Gabriel Ultras on one of my vehicles with good results. It wasn't too difficult.. They came with new nuts but not bolts. I reused any bolts that didn't come with the kit as they were in pretty good condition. In my application they...

    AAMCO in dc

    The worst part is that Enterprise made us send it there because they were the closest "authorized repair center"

    Now they are talking about taking a car home until a customer pays because they are low on space. This place is shady.. I'm glad it's not my personal car.

    AAMCO in dc

    I fear for my work truck right now. It's under our companies Enterprise fleet program and they had it sent to this AAMCO that was nearby the area my tire blew out. I handed the keys over and ten minutes later the guy turns to me and asks "the keys are in the truck, right?" He just drove the...

    How often have you been towed, and why?

    I just had my company F-150 towed an hour ago because the tire blew out. Someone decided to take my jack and everything else needed to change a tire. I've been towed 5 times, three of them tire related, once on an Acura legend because I ignored a stuck thermostat (stupid I know), and the last on...

    Gas pump wouldn't fill my car.

    It's a 1988 with 55,000 miles. Its the same Exxon I always use. I'll try another location and check back. Also I changed the pump twice when I dropped the fuel tank, once before I cleaned it and chewed it up (I didn't realize it was that dirty) and once after.

    Gas pump wouldn't fill my car.

    I should add that it ran fine after this, I just couldn't get it to fill.

    Gas pump wouldn't fill my car.

    I tried filling up my Thunderbird this morning. I couldn't get the pump to put in more than 11 out of 22 gallons, it just kept cutting off like it was full. Any suggestions or experience with this would help. I dropped the tank last year and cleaned it out and I also out new gaskets on. I...

    Bad tie rods

    My parents had a brand new axel put in last month, after a couple of weeks they were getting a bad vibration. Turns out it had a defect and it was replaced for free under warranty.

    Wife nailed a pothole, tire shot

    They should be able to put any OEM sensors on for you. They will have to sync them to your car, not sure the fee for that. Make sure before you drive off that no tpms lights are on. If they are chances are the sensors weren't programmed correctly.

    Wife nailed a pothole, tire shot

    I would just do all four of them now with an alignment. It would be just spending extra money in my mind to spend more later.

    Fram CA5057 air filter discontinued?

    I've always been a fan of the frame air filters.. I own a 1988 Ford Thunderbird and on my recent trip to Walmart to pick one up I noticed they are no longer on the shelf. I went to their website and bought them out on clearance, they had 6 left. I emailed Fram but was curious if anyone knew...
