    With power window button lights, ashtray light do not come on. Weird thing I had a remote starter installed many moons ago. Worked great. Then I noticed when in remote start mode all the above mentioned lights would work. However once I put my foot on the break which disengaged the remote...

    01 Front brake pad wear verses Rear.

    A good thing I did not believe there was anything wrong with my brakes. But when the rears needed replacement I just bought the fronts also. When I pulled the front tires off the pads were darn near the same thickness as the new ones so I just replaced the rotors not that they even really...

    01 Front brake pad wear verses Rear.

    transmission gone while towing

    If you did it right sounds fishy Four-Wheel-Drive Vehicles CAUTION: Shifting the transfer case into NEUTRAL can cause your vehicle to roll even if the transmission is in PARK (P), for an automatic transmission. You or others could be injured. Make sure the parking brake is firmly set...

    Question about Air Conditioning and MPG

    Being Anal about MPG Everyone seems to be forgetting they own a large suv that is not going to get the greatest MPG. If the price of fuel has you down to whether or not you should run the AC its time to sell the hoe, and get a small economical car to fit your operating pocket book. If you...

    Question about Air Conditioning and MPG

    Not enough To make me rather sweat my balls off when its 80 plus hot, and humid. Thats like having an ice cold barley pop in your hand on a hot summers day, and afraid to drink it because you'll have to piss. But to answer your question it depends on engine size as to how much it will...

    too happy too soon

    Yup I had a 79 stang turbo just out of HS. The turbo never went out, but it was an electrical nightmare every time it rained. The turbo did whine really bad, and It would be far fetched to say it gave much boost it just sounded like it did.....Cured me of Fords. The daughters Mopar is...

    plug wires

    Stock vehicle Honestly if the vehicle is stock why spend buko bucks on fancy plug wires? I used 50.00 Bosch no issues. Will they last 125K like the stock ones? who knows. But I doubt expensive plug wires will gain much but a dent in the wallet on a stock vehicle. Certainly not HP.

    my 2000 is running lean

    Thats a stretch Maybe in another type of GM vehicle. It takes way longer then that just to remove the intake bolts, and reinstall intake bolts. Then reinstall and torque in correct sequence, and steps. I really do not see how you can insure a clean gasket removal, or not get...
