About a month or so ago I had a thermostat stick closed on me. I was not far from the house when this happened and when I began to pull away at the first stop light I encountered I got the bucking action which told me that the car is getting hot. Replaced thermostat and all was good for about...

My pilot bearing squeaks when cold. Well, I think it is my pilot bearing. When I crank up my car in the morning I hear a squeaking noise. When I put my foot on the clutch pedal and press it down the sound goes away. When I let the pedal up the sound comes back. I did some looking around and...

I am in the process of finishing up a front brake job on my car and having an issue with attaching the brake line to the caliper. I can get it on the caliper but when I tighten it down to the 30 ft-lb rating the front wheels will not spin. I did replace the crush washers with washers from...

I need to replace my brake pads and I thought while I do that for all 4 wheels I should maybe upgrade/change the rotors as well. I looked on Lethal Performance and found a couple of ideas but would like to get input from others. Brembo - Slotted or Drilled Brembo : Lethal Performance...

I currently have Comcast Triple Play and have been pleased with everything but I just got a new HDTV and need to upgrade. I bought my TV at BestBuy and they are running a deal with DirectTV that is really good but I wanted to know how their service rates among customers. If you have them as a...

What are your life lessons? You know, things you have learned in life that you would want to pass on to someone younger. One of mine is "if you fall down, get back up and do it again immediately, do not let the fear of failing stop you from trying"!

Just got a tune from lethal on an SCT-3000 for my 04 cobra. I gave them my mods(K&N, MRT Hpipe and American Thunder catback) and they gave me a canned tune. My question is what does the tune change? timing? A/F? I am guessing that just A/F parameter is changed which would then make the...

I want to purchase a shotgun. I want an all-around type because I also like to shoot skeet but the primary use will be for the home. I would like to keep the cost between $300-$500. Any advice given would be appreciated as I am going to look this weekend. I am also thinking of getting a...

This is not a constant issue but every once in a while I will notice she does have the same feel of power like she always has. Is there any one thing to look at particularly? Also, I have noticed my lights flicker ever once in a while and I am thinking I may have a loose ground somewhere...

Just thought I would get some input on this. Yesterday morning, Friday, Nov. 30th, I was heading to work and noticed the voltmeter on my capacitor was showing a higher than normal charging voltage. The meter was saying 14.5 V+. It kept fluctuating between 14.5 to close to 15.0 V. I have...

I think my battery may be going bad. If you look at the stock battery there is a indicator that is either green or amber. If it is amber, does anyone know what that means? Thanks!!
