Will the driveshaft have to come out? It seems if the output shaft was turning with the wheels it would burn up the roller bearings between the gears and the mainshaft because I thought they rely on the turning of the input shaft (engine) to lube everything, since its the input shaft that turns...

can anyone run a carfax vin check for me please? thanks

Hey long time no post. Well i was driving my car 180 miles and the a/c would get warm, then cold, then warm. when i parked it the a/c wouldnt even work, the compressor clutch wont engage, but the fan kicks on. there is 13.5v and a good ground at the clutch connector and no continuity between the...

my heater core has been leaking prety bad so i bypassed it right where it comes out of the firewall. my car is running a little bit hotter but that was to be expected, the temp guage stays around the "O" and "R" area. but now when i have the a/c on, the compressor cuts off when it gets hot, but...

i fear i may have a leaking heater core:( . when i put the heat on to the floor vents just a little bit of heat comes out of the defrost vents which is just a leaking blend door i imagine, but it fogs up the windshield like crazy. the air doesnt smell like coolant and coolant doesnt leak on the...

its flooding in houston, on my way to school this morning i had to drive through some deep water, looked about a foot deep, till i got in it and it was about 2 feet deep, i took it slow but i didnt realise how low our intake inlets are and it sucked up water and killed it, my brother pushed me...

ok ive heard that its a waste spark that only the intake side fires on the power stroke and the exhaust side fires on the exhaust stroke to burn excess gasses, then i also heard that both fire on the power stroke to get a better burn. who is right?
