I resealed my compressor on my 97 Ranger with one of those kits. Works well. I also had to replace a pressure switch and fix a broken blend door. These are probably all common failure points for AC on an old Ford. The very first car I owned did not have AC. That was, like, 30 years ago. Since...

I thought the tensioner side WAS the slack side (the tensioner takes up the slack when you pull the pin)

I have bought a few packs from this guy. All have been the "15,000 mile" old Ultras. It's been a while, though since I bought any. Some of the XG8A had dented tops and rattled... Don't use those!

Had the same thing happen on an Odyssey of mine. IMO a manufacturing defect. Decent quality oil and filters... usually 5W30. I generally changed at 5k miles and never more than the MM interval. At the time, the camshafts were not available and the first five engines I looked at at the junkyard...

So is Toyota the "OEM" or is Denso the "OEM"? There are two different definitions for Original Equipment Manufacturer and both are about equally popular. Calling Denso the OEM seems more logical to me, but then what is Toyota? The Final Assembler?

I replaced a timing belt for the tenth time in my life (maybe the last!!) and, for the first time, I used the paint marker. I found it made the installation of the belt a bit easier and quicker and I would do it again next time (will there be a next time?)

My Ranger is 1997, last year of TIB for the Ranger. I got about 60k miles from my last set of tires on it.

The yards I go to don't allow kids to enter

Rear wheel negative camber is a pretty common problem on cars with independent rear suspension. I put in adjustable upper arms in my Volvo to get the camber right. I think the factory arm was modified to be slightly longer at some point to address the problem.

Not me, I always buy the cheapest "gas" I can find

This paragraph is kind of nonsense

Budget told me I could get a Sonata for the reserved price, or for $10/day I could upgrade to the Camry Hybrid. I went ahead and got the hybrid. I have been driving my 2019 Accord Hybrid with 250k+ miles regularly, so it was an interesting comparison for me. For low-speed driving my high-miles...

did you follow the QR code on the box?

What do I look like, Kelly Blue Book? I'm seeing around $8000 for 2014 Mazda3s with about 120k miles and manual transmission, that's used car dealer price for nice looking examples. No idea on the CX-3, though.

I don't understand this question ❓

So one of my sons has just graduated from USMC boot camp. He has started talking about getting his first car after he finishes ITB (14 weeks). Instead of the Dodge Charger (as is traditional) he was talking about getting a Subaru WRX. I looked at WRXes for sale and I think they might not be the...

I just noticed what are called "dynamic hub emblems" on a Jetta on my way to work this morning. I guess these are a scaled-down version of the "spinner" wheels that were popular a couple of decades ago. The small hub logo in the center of the wheel stays stationary while the wheels are spinning...

https://www.picknpull.com/part-pricing/68?navitem=&searchcriteria=Trim That's the price in St Louis from Pick n Pull. For a common car like an Odyssey, there are a couple of other places that are cheaper. (111, Speedway)
