Driving home today and my battery light came on. I have an ultragauge and it showed 11.73 volts, held there pretty steady for about 15 mile ride home. The car starts up. Battery is about 2 years old I believe. Original alternator and voltage regulator, just passed 334K miles. Regulator is...

Get these codes using Autel AutoLink AK319 on my Mazda B4000 pickup. Also with the I/M function getting CAT = "INC", not the "OK" reading given on most fields. I'm guessing INC is inconclusive but I haven't researched it yet. Seems odd to me that P1131 states "HO2S Bank 1 Sensor 1, Signal below...

The last few times the car started it sounded as if it was barely turning over but then it would fire up. Now it doesn't turn over at all, no noise when turning the key. The car has been sitting around for several months, is only started once a week or so and is rarely driven on the road. It is...

The oem GM part I've found online is made in Turkey and at low end of price scale. Also considering Centric and AMS parts. Any way to get a hand on quality scale of these parts?

So my son called me Thursday night and he had the wife's Elantra out to visit a friend. Car has about 30K miles, sits alot. Original battery. While he was driving, after having started it twice that night, he lost all power. He's not sure which lights did what on the display, he was trying to...

So I need to cut back on miles between changes. I put in a new air filter at last oil change and cleaned up well in the box, I didn't notice anything out of place but there seems to be a problem I'm missing. This couldn't be from coolant? Glad to see iron is down but why...

I let the rear pads wear until gone. Bought Power Stop pads and the right rear outer pad is gone in 25K miles. I never even checked, usually get 40-50 K on the pads (highway miles, 283K on car). So the piston is fully out and the tool I have doesn't have clearance for me to use it. I've tried...

The last 2 days of driving my Ultraguage shows that my voltage is dropping to 12.8v and bouncing around up to 13.8 or so and back down. This went on for 30 miles or so and then back up to a steady 14.17v where it normally runs for about 20 miles to home. Yesterday it happened again for a few...

I need to replace my front rotors and pads, 2012 Elantra. There are a couple of hills that really heat up the brakes, looking for opinions on whether the extra cash is worth it for drilled rotors for this purpose and if yes worthwhile daily driver brands.

I need to replace a ball joint and it looks like I'll be doing it by replacing the control arm. The rear inner bolt is seized in the sleeve in the bushing so I am going to get the control arm assembly. Any recommendations for finding the specs on the bolt and purchasing it? The hemanual.org site...

The air compressor here at work needs oil and service guy says to use 46 plus. Any insight on this, difficult to locate the 46 plus (or is it 46+)?

I have yet to add oil other than 4 quarts at change. I dumped in the 4-1/4 qts. this fill because it was low on the stick when I made this change. I hit a deer so my hood was "leaky" for winter driving here in PA so maybe that added to contaminants. Is 21 ppm iron high for a car with these...

My son just bought a 2016 Elantra and the seller offers a lifetime engine warranty if you change oil every 4000 miles with a Castrol brand oil. It will be driven mostly for 10 mile commutes to work. Any suggestions for a Castrol oil to use and why? 5W-20 is suggested by Hyundai, don't know if...

My son works for a company that makes aluminum extrusions and they have a contract with Ford so the employees can get some sort of deal when buying Ford vehicles. He's looking at a Focus, automatic, probably a sedan since they are cheaper, right? Any opinions on these cars,I guess it will be a...

Hi, Does anyone know a direct source for Modina filters for an industrial press brake? Thanks

I was the victim of a hit and run the other morning and the only apparent damage is to my left front fender. The car handles fine so I may not use my insurance coverage for this. I was cut off by a pick up at 5:30 last Friday morning. I was in the right lane and the guy was in the left lane and...

A friend of mine at work is having trouble accelerating with his Impala until it gets up to about 20 mph, then it is fine. He has had it to 2 transmission shops and both shops say it's not the transmission. One shop put it on a diagnostic machine. His mechanic still thinks it's the transmission...

I need to replace my driver side lower ball joint. I don't want to remove the knuckle from the strut because I have a camber bolt installed and the alignment seems to be set up well so I want to remove the control arm. Looks like it's the ball joint nut and 2 others at the rear end of the arm. I...
