I've a 2005 Chevy Classic with the EcoTec 2.2 How hard is it to change out the serpentine belt? Special tools needed? I'm getting close to 100K miles and I'd rather avoid taking it to a shop if I can. Thanks

I'm in a bit of a pickle here. 2003 SantaFe, 2.4L 4-cyl. Wifes car shut off on her while she was driving a few days ago. Initial inspection shows a damaged crankshaft position sensor and balance shaft belt. Shop replaces all parts, gets the spark back and finds no compression in any of the...

'03 Hyundai SantaFe, 2.4L engine. This is the wife's car. We've owned it since Feb. After we purchased it it had a problem where it would loose power and would ocassionally surge/stutter while at idle/low speed. It was determined (by the dealer) to be a coil pack that was failing under load...

Best cleaning and lubrication for weapons using corrosive ammo? I've an AK74 with which I use surplus russian ammo which has corossive primers. Right now I pour a tea-kettle full of boiling water through the receiver/barrel/gas tube, then clean with Hoppes, and lube with a few drops of Dexron...

I'm geting serious here. Local dealer has '08 & '09 KIA Sportages for about $12,500 after incentives. Reviews look good, decent mileage numbers. I'd be getting the 5 speed manual and 4x4 with the 140hp 4-cyl. Any real word experience with these?

These trucks look awesome - I've a real hankering for one. Anyone own one of these? Real world experience and opinoins?

I am the new owner of a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe with the 2.4L engine and auto transmission. I'll be doing a pan drop and filter change as soon as it's reasonable with the weather. Does anyone know how much fluid should come out with a pan drop? Thanks.

School me on this car. Wife wants to get rid of her '01 Ford Focus. I found a'00 540i with 125K miles on it for about $8500. Beautiful car. Reliability? I already know the tires will cost about 2x as much as the Focus.

I've an engine code for a bank-1, sensor-1 o2 sensor error. What will this do to my fuel economy if it is not fixed right away? Where can I find a good deal on a replacement sensor? AAP wants $135 or so for a direct replacement, and about $70 for a generic. Thanks

I've an '05 Chevy Classic and I'm pretty sure I've a wheel bearing that is going bad. The bearing is in a hub assembly that I can purchase for ~$100. Question is: Do I need any special tools to replace this? I have basic tools, but no impact wrenches or anything. I have to check my warranty...

2001 Focus LX with the SPI engine. I noticed green spots in the snow this weekend. The coolant resivor (sp) was low. I tens to use my cars as battering rams to get through smaller snow banks. Could this cause a problem? Pretty sure it's only leaking when it is hot though as none collected...

I'm still looking for tires for this old Rototiller. Right now I'm thinking I'll have to go with an alternate tire source as I can't find any agricultural type tires for this thing. I'm not looking to spend more than $50 or so for a tire, one tractor supply place had a tire for $130 or so that...

My father has an old Rototiller brand rototiller - I think it's a late 40s vintage machine. 5hp, 2-cycle with a 20lb flywheel. The tires I think are original, and they have finally rotted out to the point where they wont hold air. The wheels are 12" diameter, 4" wide, and are a high traction...

I've an '05 Malibu classic with the orange stuff in the radiator tank. I bought a gallon of Prestone all makes/all colors extended life premix and I wanted to do a small (1 gal) drain/fill. I try to do this every year on my cars. Anyway, I can't figure out how to drain fluid from the radiator...

2005 Chevy Classic, about 55K miles. Just recently, the auto lock/unlock feature has stopped working. After the car is started and the shifter is moved out of Park, the doors would lock. When the ignition was turned off, the doors would unlock. For a few days it was auto-locking but only the...

The little remote lock/unlock/trunk/horn things. Can I change the battery in it, or is that a dealer-only job? It's for a Chevy. Thanks

The AC in my wife's Ford Focus has warmed up a bit. I'm trying to find the high and low pressure ports to check the system pressure. I found the high pressure port right next to the radiator. Where the heck is the low pressure port?

I have read here that certain waxes/polishes cannot be layered. Others can. I was wondering about the Eagle 1 Nanowax. It's a caranuba(sp) wax, but it is in a solvent in the spray bottle. I was wondering if it would simply dissolve itself off if I tried to apply a 2nd layer, or if it could be...
