    Long story short I sold a bumper cover to a guy in North Dakota. I took it to UPS and they quoted me $243 to ship it. How do I ship it for a more reasonable price? Any help or ideas would be most appreciated.

The new cargo liner was a bit disappointing. Flimsy, hard and the vertical lip around the perimeter not high enough. I...

    1995 Voyager van won't stay running.

    1995 3.0. It sat for a few weeks and when I went to drive it yesterday it would start and run for maybe 2-3 seconds and then die. Fuel pump pumps up, fresh gas. I'm thinking a sensor is either dead or does not like something and it shuts it down. Any help or thoughts would be most appreciated.

    Dexron Vl add lubegard for 4T65-E ?

    After a search it seems the general consensus is that Dexron Vl is a little thin for the GM 4T65-E. Would the addition of Lubegard red help to thicken it up? Good idea? Thanks.

    PP or another ARX in 2.7 sludger?

    I have gone through two clean and rinses of ARX in my 2.7 Dodge sludger. The ARX did some cleaning but never to the extent I was looking for. I am not concerned about the expense I just want the 2.7 to last a while longer and stay relatively clean inside. Should I go to PP and a Pure 1 filter or...

    Change filter at 1500 miles??

    I put Autorx in my 1995 3.0 van (190,000) almost 1500 miles ago. Should I change the filter? The oil looks as clean as when I put it in. I have a couple of old Fram filters I don't mind sacrificing. Or should I worry about it in the rinse phase?? Thanks.
