Hi - I have a string trimmer which uses gas for fuel (so not electric). I've never used a device where I was told to add oil directly to the fuel but whatever. I had it set up a couple of months ago but winter got bad so I haven't used it yet. The gas that is in it now was put in at the shop who...

changed it once before & used Redline but they are having supply issues. what's a comparable brand please? 03 Ford Ranger 6 cyl RWD 3L gas engine Thanks!

ok, this is a 2003 Ford Ranger & yeah I get that it's gonna creak as it ages. The thing is I had it at the mechanic's less than a month ago to check sounds I heard from the brakes & he found the RF ball joint was bad. That had been creaking something fierce but I had grown used to it & since...

ok so I have a good mechanic that I trust plus I actually consider him brilliant. that being said, when it comes to brakes, I've always gone to Midas for over 20 yrs. Last yr during inspection I was told would probably need brakes w/i the yr, so I went to Midas to get them checked, he printed an...

so there I was trying to buy gas, needed to move back a bit to reach the right pump as I'd parked in front of a diesel pump by mistake, put the key in and wow - the ignition won't budge!! I'm like, what the ?? trying to turn the wheel a bit, and asking myself what am I doing wrong, all the while...

because I had a blow-out and was running on the spare which is a dif tire than the others, I needed to buy at least 2 new ones asap - I had budgeted for 4 tires come April, but not now, 2 was all I could afford. This is for my Ranger pickup, 6 ft bed, empty, so no wt in the back. I went to...

I bought 4 new tires in 2009 at Big O in Oakland, Calif. Now I am back in NYC and need tires - I want the same ones as before because hey - they were good tires - obviously - here's what it says on my receipt and the tires themselves: p235/75r15 tempest touring SR/TR BL When I punched it in...

Had a rear pinion leak (connecting the drive shaft) that needed a gasket - closer observation showed the differential cover was also leaking despite having just had a new one less than a year ago. Of course the gear oil was drained and replaced at that time - but this go-around (different...

Slammed my brakes today when a car in front of me stopped for a yellow lite - there was an awful feeling in the brakes - definitely a grabbing sensation - maybe a sound but I was so startled I can't describe it (not grinding tho). Last week I thought something similar had happened but I hadn't...

My old battery will expire in a couple of months - I don't want to wait until the really cold weather comes to replace it so I've been looking to buy one soon. I was going to get a DieHard but read some reviews they aren't as good as they used to be. ok, ok, nothing is, right? so what's the...

Is there a really good one to buy? maybe a synthetic? I have a leak and my mechanic will be replacing the cover and making a new gasket - he said to buy 2 qts of gear oil 90W. My truck is a 2003 Ford Ranger RWD, V6.

because on the Amazon website, where I ordered it - the description said quite clearly "Silicone Gasket Maker" but now it's arrived and I can't find the word "Silicone" anywhere on the package - just Ultra Black Advanced Formula Maximum Oil Resistant Gasket Maker. even on the back, nothing about...

An auto parts store sold me a fuel filter for flex instead of gas - it looks the same in the diagram, the flex gas is apparently for 85% ethanol - when I went in to pick up the part (I had prepaid and ordered it) there were some harsh words exchanged - apparently the owner has an attitude about...

this is a 2003 Ranger Edge, 6 cyl, 2wd, 3 ltr engine, 153,000 miles. I bought it in 2009 (107,000 m), and am glad to say it's running better now than when I bought it for the first time, the engine light came on the other day; I freaked out but had it scanned and P0303 came up. ok, so I took...

this is a 20003 Ford Ranger; good maintenance including a tranny oil change last spring after a cross-country drive hauling a uhaul trailer. no problems then this winter, tho, stuck on ice more than once, had to steer hard to get off, the rocking thing where you go forward and back, I was very...

I have a 2003 Ford Ranger 6 cyl; 142000+ miles. I drove it cross-country from Calif to Pennsylvania in Jan hauling a UHaul and the bed was loaded as well. I had a lot of maintenance done beforehand including changing the tranny oil; then just a couple of weeks ago, had everything done again...

this January, will be driving from the SF Bay area cross-country to NYC in my 2003 Ford Ranger, towing a U-Haul trailer. I already towed a similar trailer in 2009, when I moved my belongings from Wisconsin to here to attend grad school. at that time, I had just relocated to the U.S. after being...
