According to a flyer for Toyota car batteries, there's a direct tradeoff b/n CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) and RC (Reserve Capacity). They're implying that (somehow) these two attributes are built into different areas of the battery.

I have a 2002 Kia Rio with 28,000 miles. I've had to fill the power steering reservoir up two times in the past 5 months. The weird thing is that there is no visible sign of loss anywhere. The car is garaged and there is no leakage on the floor. Inspecting the underside of the

| Can the differential create car-shaking vibration? | 16 Nov 2004 19:37 GMT | 10 |
My car, when it reaches about 25 MPH in any gear, begins to vibrate horrendously. My mechanic says its a worn differential and that I would basically have to rebuild the entire car front to back to fix it. HOWEVER...I looked in my Toyota service manual and the Haynes manual and

| How hot should a resistor block get? | 15 Nov 2004 23:07 GMT | 2 |
I replaced mine on a 93 Altima and one of the solder joints failed after 10mins. I resoldered and now it works but gets almost too hot to touch after 2 mins. Possibly there is a short in the circuit? The motor seems to run fine on all speeds. Shouldn't the fuse blow first?

| Discolored differential oil | 15 Nov 2004 04:41 GMT | 1 |
I was checking fluid levels under my 4x4 yesterday and noticed that the rear differential fluid was discolored, nearly black. What would be a likely cause of this? The fluids in the front differential and transfer case were still amber after many years, so this seems unusual. The ...
