    Windows Disk Management Issue In BartPE

    I installed the Driveimage XML plug-in into BartPE using PE builder, and this added Windows Disk Management to my programs list. Every time I go to use it in Bart PE, the CD spins up but nothing ever happens, however Driveimage XML works perfectly. Were there other plug-ins that were needed to...

    Any Supporters Of The FairTax?

    I don't think this is a political subject, unless people start bashing politicians that don't support it, which I'm not asking anyone to do. But, anyone here supporting the FairTax, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_tax? I haven't read the books yet, just the information on the website and...

    Jack Daniel's Distillery Tour

    For those of you that ever get a chance to go to Lynchburg, Tennessee, I strongly recommend you take an hour or so out of your life and go to the Jack Daniel's Distillery. It's very interesting and educational, but don't expect any tastings, it's a dry area (of all f***ing places). I believe...

    Finally Flushed My Brakes

    I managed to acquire a Motive Brake Bleeder from ebay for ~$15-20 cheaper than directly from Motive. I have to say that it makes the job real easy. From what I know, the fluid in my 1995 Grand Marquis was original. When looking in the reservoir, the fluid was extremely dark, but yet very clear...

    Use Oil Hose For Vacuum Hose

    I've got some 11/32" oil hose leftover from my transmission filter install, and would like to replace one of my intake vacuum hoses. Is there any reason that oil hose won't work as vacuum hose?

    Cruise Control Not Working After Recall Fix

    My 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis had the cruise control recall performed and now no longer works. When I first got the letter, I took it in and they disconnected the cruise control due to a lack of parts. I was told to expect the part in January, but the parts didn't come in until late February...

    2001 Chevrolet Impala 3.4 V6 Thermostat

    My brother's Impala is having some issues that seem to be thermostat related, and since the cost is less than $15, we're going to replace it to be on the safe side. However, we currently don't have a Haynes manual (plan to get one when we attempt to replace it), and I am wondering if anyone has...

    Is The Thermostat To Blame?

    Recently my temp gauge has been appearing rather low, yet still in the normal reading. My heater works perfectly fine, the top radiator hose is nice and hot, but the temp gauge is barely in the normal. Now, there are a few different colored lines that I drew in there and I'll explain them...

    External Transmission Filter Installation

    This is going to be a large article with a few pictures that are 800 x 600 in pixel size, so I apologize for the long load time. This is the install on my 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis, which was quite fun. A little background: After finishing a ~4,500 mile Auto-RX clean on the transmission, I...

    2004 Nissan Sentra 1.8 Belt Replacement

    This is for the 2004 Nissan Sentra 1.8 liter engine, not the 2.5 liter engine. Anyone have any experience in replacing the belts on this model? I have the factory service manual, and it only mentions how to inspect it, along with a picture of the assembly: This car has AC, so it'll be the...

    Fix For svchost.exe Using 99% CPU Usage

    Hello everyone, this has been a major problem at my work lately. Some kind of Windows Update (I only saw it happen with Microsoft Updates) caused some corruption which makes svchost.exe use 99% of the CPU usage for a long time before it calms down. svchost.exe runs at extended usage when...

    Decided To Install Vista Business

    Well, even though I've made some blasting posts about how Vista isn't all that great, I must admit, it's not THAT bad. I got it "free" because of the classes I was taking gave me access to it for download. Now of course, I had to do some tuning for it to be enjoyable, particularly with security...

    Green Coating

    I changed my thermostat out a couple of months ago in my 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis, and the thermostat was stained green. And upon viewing down the intake manifold, the insides were green as well, along with the thermostat housing. I scrubbed at the housing, but the green color did not come...

    Cannot Fill Up Gas Tank

    This is on my wife's 2004 Nissan Sentra, she cannot fill up the tank fully. The automatic shut-off nozzle stops and then a gurgling sound happens and then gas begins to run out of the filler neck. After we managed to get in 1.5 gallons of gas, with probably .05 gallons of gas leaking out, we...

    Amsoil 0w-30 Website Updated...Partially

    For all of those who haven't noticed yet, the Amsoil site for the Series 2000 0w-30, now reflects it as being SM/GF-4, but the data properties are still outdated, as is the wear comparison charts.

    Perma-Cool Transmission Filter Installation

    I am thinking of installing a Perma-Cool transmission filter kit on my 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis and my wife's 2004 Nissan Sentra. But I have a couple of installation questions. My car: My transmission lines are metal, and I see that the kit comes with two adapters, which connect to the line...
