Found this on a Cavalier forum, http://www.dpccars.com/car-videos-10/04-29-10page-Chevy-Volt-How-its-built.htm

Well, it looks like my 02 Cavalier needs a new right front wheel bearing. I checked and the spindle nut was easy to get loose. In fact, I tightened it up. Next challenge will be the 3 Torx head bolts holding the hub to the steering knuckle. My old, cheap Torx bit won't begin to move them. Who...

This is medically oriented, but I am afraid we may apply the bad logic to many other areas of decision making. http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/altbelief.html I have often mentioned the sludge problems I had 20 years ago when I was running Quaker State. Quite likely there...

Years ago I bought nearly everything at Parts America. Good stuff, good prices, and they stood behind stuff. Well AAP bought them out and never seemed a good. I blamed some of the reoccuring problems with my 92 Grand Am on their parts. Recently the muffler fell off my truck. Well AAP didn't...

For about the last 6 months, I have had trouble connecting to the internet. After Bright House replaced their modem several years ago, I had good service until there was a lighting strike about a half mile away, and a power outage last summer. They have furnished a Motorola SB4100 cable modem...

I am reading an article in the April US News. It very much favors restricted licenses for teenagers. In general, I favor that. I do question restricting other teenage passengers. Yes, there are hazards to a car load of kids. They give the figure of fatalities being 21% more likely for 2 or more...

Much of the content of this site is about choosing products for maintaining our engines. Quality and price are very important. However, there are other factors. Service and a good inventory is cause to decide where we buy. Many refuse to shop at Wal*Mart. Others buy American. It never hurts to...

Well the cartridge in the shower went bad. The one I paid $20 to order on line less than a year ago because it is so old nobody stocks parts for it anymore. So I decide to rip it out and put in a new one. Guess what, all the ones I look at are the stupid non adjustable volume. We are on a well...

So I was pleased to find their application app covered my 77 LUV and had not one, but 2 different filters, M1-105 and MO 193. So what is the difference? Maybe I have missed the AAP deal on M1 and a filter. I really need oil for my car that takes a cartridge, but understand their cartridge...

Well the bills are still trickling in from my stent installation last month. A couple of threads here lately have left me wondering if the whole medical thing is much like the sheep that take their car to the stealership when the owners' manual says and nod yes to all the service writer's...

Does anybody have a local website you can get weather related closings on? I hate the radio. I can't stand any of the local stations and never listen to them. I hate having to leave them on waiting for closings. Then if something distracts you, you may miss the one you were wanting to hear. As...

Were some of you relieved to see little of me yesterday and the day before? I was having a stent put in my one coronary artery. It was a miserable 2 days, but I will spare you the details. I figure some of us will eventually get a nice new body, but others will end up else where filled with fat...

We have a rather old freezer. It still keeps stuff cold, but runs and runs. I had a guy look at it a couple of months ago and he said all that was wrong with it was that it was too full and needed defrosted. So we defrosted it today. It has since run 1 1/2 hours empty and still not shut off. I...

So who has gotten sludge and under what conditions? Sludge seems to be a big topic here. I know I never want to see a problem like I once had. Sludge 1981 Pontiac Phoenix SBC cut down to a V-6. When it was about 8 years old, it was terribly sludged up under the valve covers. It saw a lot of...

I finally cut open the STP SO3950 today. I was very disappointed, but not that surprised to find it with no more media than recent L 10193's It is at the bottom of this chart. Not sure just when some of this data was collected, at least 10 year ago. It shows the media in lower priced filters...

My wife hit something and knocked a hole in the oil pan. She managed to make it home without the oil light coming on so the engine is OK. 02 Cavilier with the Ecotec. Since the oil pan supports the engine on the passenger side, it isn't going to be any fun removing it. I am sure a new one...

I am thinking of abandoning my long standing practice of Pennzoil YB every 3 months in my truck and car whether they need it or not. I am looking at Kendall GT synthetic and a Blackstone every quarter until it shows I need to change. I think this will provide about the same or better...
