    2002 Nissan Sentra GXE brake lights/side markers stay on, when car is off.......

    The title says it. Kid's car has the brake lights and the side markers up front stay on when the key is in the off position. He has to remove the battery cable to keep it charged when parked. First thought when I heard brake lights was the brake switch. Now I'm told some front lights stay on...

    Ignoring CEL

    I've told the story here before. My former indy mechanic specifically brought me out a Mercury Cougar instrument cluster and showed me a tiny hole drilled into the side of the cluster, right where the CE light was, disabling it permanently. Some other shop did this maliciously and put it all...

    How come ac lifespan is so short on cars?

    I get a car and turn it on and NEVER turn it off again. The only A/C I've ever had to replace was after 260k on my 2005 CR-V when the compressor grenaded. 227k Civic, 165k Mazda MX-6, 284k CR-V, 154k and counting 4Runner. All cold and only the one replaced.

    Brake Bleeding...Pressure VS Vacuum and Preferred DIY Kits?

    I did not know about Speedi-bleed kits. I’ll be getting one of those $82 versions for the 4Runner. Way overdue to replacing that fluid.

    Just filed a glass claim

    This is why I insist only on TriVal (Pilkington). We have the evil terrible Fuyao glass manufacturer not far away and I’ve had two of those, never again.

    Rear Differential 75w85 vs 75w90 - Any Benefit Either Way

    I reverted back to Toyota WS after using Idemitsu WS (which is probably identical). All other fluids have never been OEM other than that. Pink Zerex, Valvoline diff fluids, Ravenol transfer case. Havoline 6-quart box and a Supertech quart from WM.

    Rear Differential 75w85 vs 75w90 - Any Benefit Either Way

    Don't worry about it. My 4Runner is spec'd for 75w-85 in the diffs. I did that at 57k, but when I did it around 100k I switched to the MUCH easier to use Valvoline 75w-90 bags. I'm at 152k. Zero issues. The only thing I stay true with is the straight 75w that goes into the transfer case...

    Neighbors rolled the dice on a manufacturer buyback vehicle... and lost.

    Good call, he will certainly trace it down.

    I swear by the Duracell's, my opinion.

    Today...Thrown Belt...Near Instant Service

    An interesting choice to have two separate belts on a modern car. Mazda must have wanted assurances against overheating if the serp belt failed.

    New Old Stock EPDM Belt - How Old is Too Old?

    In the past 9 months, I've replaced mine on the 4Runner with a Bando, and my kid's 2002 Sentra (yes that water pump and belts finally needed to be done, that job blows) with whatever house brand O'Reilly's sells. New belts always for me, no reason to cheap out on a $15 part.
