rarely would i need to tho, usually friends take me, but...

Okay I have a 92 Pontiac Grand Prix, recently our low coolant dummy light came on, then turned off. I checked the coolant level and it was fine. It did this for two days then a leak developed at the water pump where it connects to a set of hosing leading to the throttle body and back around to where I can't see. I fixed this leak and waited 24 hours for the RTV Blue Sealant to cure. I started the car today and it fired up quickly. As I drove down the street the water temp gauge shot up past the red and the low collant dummy light came on. I pulled over, turned of the engine, and checked the collant level, perfectly fine. I waited ten minutes fired the car back up and drove home. When I got home I check the fluid levels again and found I lost alot of coolant but there is no steam coming from the exhaust and no collant in the oil and no leaks anywhere. My question, what could be the problem? Can a bad water pump exhibit the signs described and loose collant without other signs?

I bought the car with rims(235/35/19frt 245/35/20rear). Ran fine until purchased new tires in rear. Is there a way to make the computer ONCE AGAIN read that the speed on all tires are the same or change calibration to read 19s frt and 20s rear? Appreciate everything, thank you!

i have a 2000 dodge durango and want to lift it for bigger tires, looks, and hopefully better offroading clearance. what kind of lift has the least affect on driving and handling, what's the price like (cheapest is best), and looks the best (ie brands and distance)?

if the car is drivable but keeps overheating, are those symptoms of a blown head gasket or a fried water pump? ive had the car for four years and put 100000 miles on it myself, i bought it used with like 53000 on it. if its neither of those, what would the signs of smoke coming out behind the middle pulley on the 4.3 litre and the car overheating?

Somebody is trying to persuade a friend that the clutch in her Volvo 440 is about to go because the pedal is higher than the brake or the gas pedal. I seem to remember having a Volvo myself, and the clutch on that was very high. Is this the design, or is something dreadful about to happen?
