    My Ranger leans to the left (TIB camber problem)

    I finally put the new front coils on my Ranger. The lean remains!! I didn't see any difference in the springs I pulled off. I'm pretty close to stumped here!

    Troubleshooting A/C in 2004 Yukon XL

    It's not the only way to know - the amount of time it takes the system to equalize after the compressor is turned off can indicate if there's too much (or too little!) restriction. I wonder if there's a problem with the low side gauge reading... tools or technique

    Toyota Oil Filters

    I used to use Toyota filters, but switched over to Supertech after hearing how nice they looked on here.

    Troubleshooting A/C in 2004 Yukon XL

    Does your Yukon have rear A/C?

    Troubleshooting A/C in 2004 Yukon XL

    Oh, I see. Temperature. That would explain it for sure.

    Troubleshooting A/C in 2004 Yukon XL

    How do you figure? 0psi low side and 250psi high side sounds like some compression to me. I am thinking clogged orifice tube makes sense, although I don't know why the low pressure switch isn't cutting off the compressor. How quickly do the pressures equalize after you shut it off? Low...

    All the fun ways to remove rusty ball joints.

    Jack up the arm a bit and wedge something in between the arm and knuckle to put some extra load on the ball joint. Impact if you can get the access.

    Failed transmission removal. What did I miss?

    I've only done one FWD clutch (probably won't do another, lol!) and to get the transmission in place, my brother-in-law muscled it into position while I put a couple bolts in... pretty quick and (for me) easy!

    Thoughts on the Acura MDX ?

    Pilot LX would be the choice for minimal bells and whistles

    Compact spare on FWD car drive axle?

    Did you have to make it so big? lol... I missed that! In my defense -- I first looked at the web version of the owner's manual, and I don't think it has that warning. https://www.mazdausa.com/static/manuals/2016/mazda6/contents/08020300.html

    Compact spare on FWD car drive axle?

    This is an old thread that I ran across, but I looked in the online owner's manual for the 2016 Mazda6 and I couldn't find anything about not using a compact spare on the front: https://www.mazdausa.com/siteassets/pdf/owners-optimized/2016/mzd6/2016-mazda6-owners-manual.pdf For the Accord, they...

    Average car Overfilled 1 qt. anyone ever see this cause a problem?

    I think Kia had a recall a while back and part of the recall was to swap your dipstick with one that took 1/4 quart more oil.

    Lets talk about new vehicles

    Maybe it's because I don't drive much faster than 70, but I think my 2019 Accord Hybrid would be a great road trip car.

    Ever buy a preemptive parts car/mechanics special?

    I sold a wrecked car last year for around $250 so $600 seems high to me.

    My Ranger leans to the left (TIB camber problem)

    I replaced the rear leafs (leaves?) and it didn't seem to do anything for my "Ranger Lean", so I have ordered a set of Moog coils for the front. What a waste of time --- EXCEPT with the bed off I found a crack in the fuel filler neck, so I think it will be nice not to be leaking gas when I fill...

    New to me Prius

    I'd really like to see how well the solar sunroof works - seems like a great idea. Looks like good shape overall. Our 2010 is at about 255k (bought it at 208k) and running just fine. I did an EGR clean, replaced trans fluid, new water pump. Have had to replace a couple of wheel bearings and...

    Lets talk about new vehicles

    You might try a windshield sunshade. I used one in my Volvo (no tint, black leather) but my Accord seems to have a much more effective A/C. But it's also tinted pretty dark in the back. So I haven't bothered. I also like to double-click the unlock for a window rolldown before I get to the car...

    AC blows HOT after tightening steering rack bolts

    On my DIL's Fusion, she had a problem with the fan controller... The fan sometimes didn't run when it should have. That will drive high side pressures to the moon. But the pressures would be normal if the fan was running correctly. New (junkyard) fan controller module fixed it right up. Now you...

    EPA possibly goes after the Start/Stop System!

    1. That is a TSB with warranty extension, not a recall. 2. That is a failure of the keyless stop/start switch, not a failure of the auto stop/start system. There is in fact a TSB that addresses the problem that I'm seeing: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10229675-0001.pdf But I...
