1998 Chevrolet Camaro, 3800 Series II History, In tank pump replaced 24,000k ago...and it is noisy on idle and annoying. Factory unit was whisper silent. Only when I fill the tank, I will smell gasoline in the car and outside of it. A few miles later the idle was start racing and stall out...

The Engine has 234,000 miles but all else if fine minus oil consumption. Valve Stem seals (VSS) are the primary culprit on otherwise factory original engine. Can the VSS be replaced with removing the valve covers and getting at them this way alone? Or, does the camshaft and other engine...

I have done some reading and am confused. Do I need dielectric grease between the bottom of the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and the base plate it sits on? Some credible sources are saying that heat transfer grease is that which is really needed. I also understand an automotive grade grease...

http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/1997017/ I drove past this a few days ago and did a double take! I was initially in denial thinking it must be a static display. Regrettably, history has been dotted with "accidental shootdowns." Granted that this in the...

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-07-18...bus-boeing.html Sources are showing a Boeing/Airbus split. Although, I would insist standardization to the superior 737-800 family akin to Southwest at Love Field down the road from DFW would have been the best choice for any number of reasons. I am...

1998 Camaro Original Factory Sealed U Joints have finally failed 226,000mi Rock Auto is offering Precision and AC Delco for the car. The parts schematics strongly suggest ACD is a Precision rebox. The shop suggests greasable units hands down. I love clean cars ... do greasable u joints make a...

Today, I am elated. The internet pictures showed the exterior case to be in remarkable condition with Honeywell and Flight Recorder perfectly legible. 1. USJFCOM & Seal Team 6 resolved with the Bin Laden question 2. The supposed unrecoverable FDR from Air France has been found at the bottom...

My GM Corporate 10 bolt is factory equipped with an Auburn unit. Come overhaul time whenever that may be Auburn and Eaton are the options. I have had no problems (sans some gear whine) with the unit for 225,000+ miles. Of course fluid intervals were conservative using the finest available...

1998 Chevrolet Camaro Type: In tank pump-sender-level assembly (RockAuto as of 11/29/2010) AC Delco:336$ Delphi: 338$ Bosch: 442$ I want premium so which one should I choose? I am aware that the Delco may very well be a boxed Delphi unit....due the latter's GM relationship. Is the Bosch name...

Pardon the drama, as I would say being stranded on the side of the road with a blown hose and steam everywhere is not a calm situation Here is the history run down. I replaced my original 12 year old UPPER and LOWER coolant hoses with AC Delco boxed replacements. I checked my UPPER hose where...

Okay here is what I did guys/gals. I upgraded the power supply unit on a 4 year old Dell from the factory 305W to a 460W aftermarket midgrade unit. The reason was preparations to install an HD Card for possible Bluray capabilities. However, after I installed the power supply new information was...

Disclosure: granted that using a quality oil, filter and application/duty specific change intervals such devices are not needed for street power plants. That being noted, this company seems to have a many industrial grade products. The one below is for street and up. Is this a legit technology...

Quick question, My application is easy on almost anything you put in it. An earlier post criticizes M1 AFE 0W30 for being only ACEA A1/B1. Now my interval will sit in a conservative 7500-10,000 mile window. Does A1 necessarily mean this some kind of stoutness dumbed down oil? The poster was...

Any remarks or experience these two companies reman engines, transmissions and differentials? I know terms such as reman and rebuild are thrown around loosely. Jasper seems to have a very good relationship with many shops. Thanks.

Unknown? Source: http://www.mobil.com/USA-English/Lubes/P...escriptionTitle However looking at the product data sheets (pds) for 5W30 & 10W30 Extended Performance shows both the pour points and viscosity index listed. Did they forget or is this some classified proprietary information?

In general I have some respect for BG products (ie MOA, old formula 44K, etc) Placing my bias there what do you make of this? Slick marketing or not? Look at the photo? http://www.bgprod.com/blendr/stickyProblem.html

I was excited to hear the news. My family finally got a new car. We were contemplating foreign automakers for the first time for various reasons. It is not fair for me to fully blame the Big Three for quality issues ... that would raise to many worms here. Here were the concerns I relayed to...

Thanks, I no longer have access to shop manuals or under hood shop peeks. Is it 5W30 or 10W30?
