I am changing my water pump on my 97 z28 camaro tomorrow. I flushed the coolant out before with dexcool and it got contaminated this time so i am gonna toss it. At the store, i noticed the dexcool was very expensive (11$/gal) and the guy at the store recommended peak 50/50 for every make and...

Thanks for the help guys i really appreciate it. I picked up a good deal at autozone, a remanufactured water pump for 55$ came with gaskets and gasket sealer. I bought all new coolant (will 2 gallons 50/50 mix be good? I flushed it before but forgot) and a 180 thermostat. The pump came with a...

I know something is wrong with my fuel usage. It is mostly short trips, high traffic, lots of stops. So i dont expect to get great gas mileage but im goin for 15-18. I changed just about everything on my car (Fluids, filters, plugs, wires, brakes, some other stuff). Im trying to find the...

I recycle mine myself, use it as weed killer, works great! The one attempt i did make to take it to the autostore, they gave me a hassle so i just took it back home and ended up spilling it in the car.

What can i recommend to my dad. He's got an 02 lexus es 300 with with under 5k miles. It is a really nice, smooth car. But i notice, he gets in the car, turns it on, and instantly floors it. He does this a few times a day. I told him to give it some time but he is a really busy guy. Is there...

Thanks for the help, i found the instructions and it said to use an inline filter and keep it oiled with air tool oil. Ill see what i can get ahold of, thanks.

Mine threw a lot of codes when i ran it. It ran rough for the rest of the day and the next time i turned it on, it was great. I got misfires and some error codes for a few days and just kept clearing them. I havent gotten since, i think its out of the system. I put some in my crankcase and it...

Its an older craftsman model that didnt sell at its original 200$ so i got it for 40. I think its a good one. I havent messed with it much. So motor oil will work and how often should i do it?

I just got an impact wrench and i thought you were supposed to lubricate them. It didnt come with any oil and im not sure where you put it. Instructions dont mention it. Do i need to do anything to it or not and if so where do i put the lube and what kind should i use?

Thanks Kestas, that was a good explaination thats all i needed to know. All the rest of you guys need to grow up.

I have a very hard time keeping my windows clean. Does anyone know any tricks to fast easy good window cleaning? I have stoners and it makes em invisible but its hard to work with and takes 2+ coats. My windows are kind of old and i think someone forgot to change the whiper in time before i...

This stuff doesnt last long at all for me. It made the car extremely shiny but it seemed to attract dust very quick and that bothered me so i switched. I hear it is full of silicon which is bad. (lets just say i use it for washing other peoples cars because it looks great and i dont care if it...

I have never seen the inside of a car engine so i was wondering if theres any pipes that the oil goes through or does it stay in a sump like in this animation? http://auto.howstuffworks.com/engine3.htm Is there just a little bit that is on the bottom or does the entire engine fill with oil...

I got the low coolant light today so im 100% sure it is a coolant leak. I only had a short ride home and the temps stayed normal. I filled it back up with water (shouldnt be far from 5050 for now because i had a little bit more dex cool last fill). I think its a minute leak so i think ill have...

Well, something is dripping up high very slowly and it gets on the outside of all my radiator lines and steering lines and a whole bunch of stuff and every now and then they overflow and make some drops. Its a minor leak but i cant figure it out. I've smelled it and i cant even tell the color...

I see exactly what you mean and i understand it as well. I noticed almost everyone who has an upgraded lt1 on some other forums seems to have the 160 stat thermometer. My car came with it so ill look around. It seems to be a commong modification so i was wondering what i should do?

How do i use dielectric grease on plug wires on my car. Do i put it just on the rubber in the boot or on the metal contact as well. I believe i have some arcing and would like to stop it. I did my own plugs and wires and didnt use this stuff. Should i use it on both ends or just the plug end?

I have a 97 z28 camaro and i believe my water pump is leaking. I believe it is my water pump but not 100% sure. Its on the drivers side and coolant lines run to it and it doesnt appear like much else is going to it besides some electic cables and an accessory wheel i think. I havent seen it...

I have a 97 z28 lt1 camaro with 113k miles on it. I believe it ahs a 160* thermostat because it is a common modification, the guy i bought the car from said something about he changed the thermostat to lower temps. It came with a hypertech reprogrammer that can advance timings or something and...

I have a 97 z28 with lt1 engine 113k miles. Im in michigan and it is almost winter. My car is usually garaged but in the morning i want to know how long i have to let it run before i drive it. At normal operating temps my car runs about 170degrees. (I have new dexcool coolant with a 50/50...
