My cooling system has a small leak in heater core.  (1987 Lincoln Town
Car.) Bars Stop leak has reduced it but not completely.   If i keep the
radiator fluid level about an inch from full, (when cold) it greatly
reduces the heater core steam.  Which means the cooling overflow tank

Has anyone here ever shortened the axles of a rear differential to
bring the rear wheels closer to each other?
I was thinking of doing such a thing but I'm just worried that the
alignment might not be good after.

Ok,,, probably dumb question but I cannot figure it out.
Have a 1972 Big Block Chevy 402
Where abouts on the block does the oil pressure gauge line hook up to?
Thanks Much!

In the past most people thought that the Bar's stop leak in the silver
and black bottle was the best.
Recently two different NAPA auto parts store managers told me that K&W
Nanotechnology was better.   It comes in a bright green plastic bottle.

Has anyone converted their "in gas tank" fuel pump to an "in line"
fuel pump? Where could I buy such a fuel pump? How well does it work?
It makes a lot more sense than an in gas tank fuel pump if it will
work. Comments welcome.

Had a complete front brake overhaul done last July of '06. Pads,
calipers, rotors, grease seals... all replaced on both sides.
For the last month or more I have had a rather high pitched warbling,
squealing sound coming from somewhere most noticeable during highway

need to buy a new floor jack, apparently.  I currently have a cheap
little Chinese thing that I bought when I was in college, and when I
went to mess with the suspension of the Porsche the other day I found it
wouldn't pump up.  I did manage to fill it with oil (messily, as it

Mark A., again, your thinking is very old-fashioned when
it comes to comparing 0w-30 to 5w-30.  As I said, you should
consider doing some current reading about the 2 viscocities.

I drove the car about 20 minutes and parked it. When I came back out,
the car would not stay running (but it does crank and start) - it
simply dies and if turning the ignition OFF.
I turn the key to the ON position and I get *no* dash idiot lights,

I think we need to rename "turn" signals to "intent-to-turn" signals.
It is getting to be the norm that folks put the signal on AFTER they
begin their turn- that is, the car is changing directions when they
turn them on. One does not NEED a signal at that point- it is obvious

My 1998 Civic Hatch has a clogged rear windshield washer in my. There
is flow as far as the rearmost coupling on the hatch; if I unplug it,
fluid squirts from there. So the clog is somewhere in the last stage,
possibly at the nozzle itself. Nothing gets through whatsoever.

Hey guys does anyone know where I can get a volume knob for a 2003
Silverado 1500? PLEASE RESPOND.

What is the deal with the auto parts stores and their return/refund
