    2002 Ford with original green coolant.

    Omit using city water. I would just do 1 drain & fill for now. That will give a bit of time to see how everything else checks out on the pickup. 4.0L or 3.0L V6 or 4 cylinder?

    Would you replace at 4/32nds ?

    Nope. I would be very comfortable with them assuming good shape overall - not lots of repairs & have not been run severely underinflated & still within a reasonable date, i.e. not over 6-8 years old.

    New Tire Confusion

    Squash the research with CR. TireRack tests (not reviews) is the right path for research. General AltiMAX RT45 - good tire but not for noise Hankook Kinergy PT - good tire including for noise Cooper Endeavor - good tire but not as good as the Hankook for noise

    '01 Ranger Tailgate Parts

    2001 Ford Ranger XLT tailgate won't open as the catch won't release on the passenger's side. The plastic connector from the remote control link to the remote control is broken on the right side (left is a survivor!). See picture. What is the part number for this plastic connector or assembly? Is...

    Morals and working with the public

    You not wanting it done to you so you don't want it done to anyone else is good but misapplied here. There are too many variables that you can't account for. You seem to be assuming that lowest price is king but to many (most?) people you encounter it isn't. They want to have a one stop shop it...

    How dry does the engine bay stay in a downpour?

    Not fully correct. They also serve as a water protection barrier, obviously not waterproof but rather water resistance.

    Analysis of Roller Coaster Failure at Carowinds

    "The report starts out with the purchaser's name and PO number." I work in engineering & review reports like this quite often. This is not uncommon for a report. And yes, this typo would be cause for a report to be kicked back & corrected but there ya go. It is regrettable that a typo was let...

    How dry does the engine bay stay in a downpour?

    Which is why those pesky (and all too often flimsy & poorly designed) shields (no, not the up top vanity covers/advertisements) are actually important. I wish more people would pay attention to & actually handle those with care. Alas, these are some of the first items no longer available as...

    Formula 1 starting already this weekend?

    Not at all here. Just like I wasn't sick of Mercedes even though I was rooting for others. There's a big difference. ;) Let them enjoy the fruits of their (hard) labors of getting it more right than others. There is competition. The sharp end of the stick doesn't suffer those who get it almost...
