    Keep the clunker or buy something "new"?

    I bought oem o2, denso ?? The body is fine, for a Minnesota car, there are only a few small rust spots on the body. The trunk clear coat is flaking but no rust yet there. The frame is perfect. I'll check the break fluid, didn't think of that. I'll also check the brake lights. Transmission seems...

    Keep the clunker or buy something "new"?

    I have a 99 Toyota camry with 165,000 miles. I have a check engine light on, o2 sensor, which I replaced both and the light still comes on. Also, the break lights light is on, even though they work fine. Finally the e-brake light is on even though it's disengaged. My mpg is about 24-27, which is...

    05 F150 spark plugs, piece of spark p broke

    I used the Autolite HT1 plugs. The parts store said Autolite also has a uni-body style plug that was very similar to the Champion and a little cheaper. I also caked the bad-boys in antiseize, so hopefully that'll help.

    05 F150 spark plugs, piece of spark p broke

    The u-shaped ground strap is what I was calling the terminal cover. The ceramic portion was pushed and it appeared that both sides of the "u" was broken and possibly a piece was broken off. The electrode came out with most of the ceramic and the upper portion of the plug. I tried the magnet, but...

    05 F150 spark plugs, piece of spark p broke

    Just start it and stop it right away? What does that do? If there is a piece of metal, should it shoot out?

    05 F150 spark plugs, piece of spark p broke

    That's the tool I have and used. It said there was no guessing as to how far to crank the tool down because the terminal cover would stop the ceramic and the tool was designed not to push it too far. Unfortunately, the tool pushed it about .5cm too far and bust the terminal cover right off.

    05 F150 spark plugs, piece of spark p broke

    Being one of those DIY'ers, I decided to tackle the spark plugs on for 05 F150 - 5.4L. Ive completed 4 of the plugs and of course they all broke. The question I have, is while pushing the ceramic piece into the broken metal portion of the plug (so I could tap it and pull it out), the ceramic...

    AMSOIL 5w30

    I have recently put Amsoil 5w30 in my 99 Camry and 03 Envoy. I bought the XL extended life synthetic and I am wondering how long I can run the vehicles on this oil. I believe the bottle says 7500 miles. Could I go 5000, change the filter, then another 5000, or is 7500 the limit with Amsoil? Any...

    Any opinions?? 2003-2004 Chev Trailblazer EXT

    I am looking at a couple of Trailblazer EXT's, about 80-88,000 miles. They are asking between $12,000 and 14,000. If anyone has any suggestions or worries about these vehicles let me know. I have heard great things about the 4.2L I6, but I haven't heard the best about their tranny's. THanks

    Turn signal

    I have a 91 Chev Silverado and my turn signal just quit working. I have noticed for the past few months the turn signal on and off has been irregular, there hasn't been an even "beat" when you hear the clicks. Now it just plain old doesn't work. I checked the fuse box and everything is ok there...

    high miles and syn-oil

    #1- Would you run synthetic in a Chevy 350 engine that has never had it and is at about 165000 miles? #2- Assuming it would be worth the money to run syn oil, how many miles would you put on a Penz Platinum and Purolator filters? 15000 miles on the oil and change filter every 5000? Any...
