    RPM dependent engine groaning sound on friend's 19 Ram V6.

    That's another thing...could it be loose torque converter bolts or a cracked flex plate....but I would think that would be more of a 'metallic' sound...

    RPM dependent engine groaning sound on friend's 19 Ram V6.

    Hard to say without being there...but I would start with the easy stuff...check the belt tensioner and idler pulley...check the pulley/bearing on the other things like alternator or power steering pump (if equipped). You might need to get a mechanics stethoscope to isolate the noise. Does the...

    10 Fastest Police Cars in the World

    I believe it was an 80's issue of either Motor Trend or Car and Driver...there was an ad that stated something like...'In Germany, there are no getaway cars...' and it was a picture of a 911 with police lights and decals.

    Horns: Disc vs compact trumpet

    Those may be hard to find...at least at a salvage yard...the one local to me, all those horns have been 'harvested'.

    ATF SP-IV was replaced with Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage. Will it damage my Transaxle? Help!

    Maybe it is shifting harder/firmer now with the different fluid...making it seem like torque steer.

    Horns: Disc vs compact trumpet

    Really?...cause the ones (trumpet type) on my '05 4runner are pretty loud. In fact, the are two on the 4runner that make a very loud dual tone...sorta like the old American cars from Buick and Cadillac. I even got a pair from the salvage yard from wreck 4Runner and wired them into my '08 Sorento...

    How can you remove a tire from a car at a junkyard without powertools?

    Well, if it is in the rear, does the parking brake still work? I'm not sure you could use the regular brakes as they drain all the fluids before setting the car out in the yard. Can you reach in and put a metal rod or screw driver into the vents of the brake rotor and have it lodged against...

    Would a monster broadcast siren negate the massive rise in carjackings?

    It is the right of every American to bear arms...having said that...do I think everyone should own a gun...no...I don't think everyone should have a license to drive either. Purchasing, owning, learning about (and maintaining) a firearm is a BIG responsibility. Buy a firearm is like buying a...

    Would a monster broadcast siren negate the massive rise in carjackings?

    One other thing...a side note...I'm assuming that you are 'hearing' about the car jackings from the media...we'll take a step back and make sure you get the right info. Not saying they are lying, but they tend to make things seems worse than they really are...that's how they get the...
