    How can a driveshaft become unbalanced?

    Fuel Rewards Network/Pennzoil "deal"

    Got an email today from Pennzoil saying I could sign up for the FRN and get 10 cents off per gallon of fuel using a code they provided. Tried to sign up and it said the code had already been used? Surely Pennzoil didn't send the same one use code to thousands of us? My code was 10266A543C397

    2000 Durango Power Steering Code

    P0551-- powersteering pressure switch. Disconnected the switch connector and code doesn't come back after clearing it...any downside? BTW switch is wet inside with PS fluid so that may be why it is bad.

    Making your own race gasoline?

    So he USED to mix it....if he doesn't still do it what's the point? In my area it is impossible to get toluene off the shelf...nobody, not even the paint stores, stocks it. If someone WAS going to do this 1/3 of the mix being Marvel Mystery Oil sounds like way too much to me, and DOES lower...

    Seized AC compressor FS10-21 ?

    Well haven't driven my truck much all winter and never used the AC when I did. The other day out of town on a camping trip I got a little warm and turned on the AC...no cold air, then smelled a burning smell. Turns out the compressor is seized and the clutch burned up. Glad it didn't ruin the...

    Diesel forum for "smaller" pickups?

Notice all the online autoparts stores I've checked just show reman rods. Just curious how they do that? If the...
