I am looking to buy a junk yard with all inventory. I would like it to be in the state of Ohio, but would consider other states as well.
Thanks

Bill is driving his Dodge along a country road and all of a sudden his car has a breakdown. He coast to the side of the road, gets out and surveys the problem. He figures he can't fix the car so he calls his friend George on the cell phone. George says he will be right there, gets in his Pontiac and drives to where Bill is. George looks the problem over, goes to his trunk, gets out a tow rope and has Bill tow his (George) Pontiac back with his (Bill) Dodge.

I bought a 84 GMC s15 jimmy the other day, and i went to change the fuel filter, air filter, oil filter, and oil because i live in california and there's strict smog laws. didnt want to risk failing the test so i was doing this. anyways, the fuel filter is the kind where it's in the carburetor and the fuel line goes into the housing for it. i guess the nut for the fuel line was stripped and it won't go back in. itll screw half a turn and then fall right back out. i tried using gasoline safe plumber tape and sealer, it went in a little farther, but it popped right back out when i started the engine and some pressure came through. what would you say is the fastest way i could get this fixed and back on the road? i need help quick because i need to get to work, might be able to borrow a truck for tommorow but i need it fixed QUICK. help?

I've found some suitable replacements on ebay. Does anyone know from experience how difficult would it be to install them myself? What are the steps?

It is an older Acura Integra 3.2 TL

Kelly blue book lists it for Private Party $8,900
Edmonds Private Party price is $4,162.

That is a big difference...I don't know which is accurate.

Finally Gold NADA lists it fro $7,200.

Any thoughts about what I should offer for it?

I REALLY hate people who sit in the passing lane at EXACTLY (or less than) the speed limit while the mean speed of traffic all around them is much higher. Don't they get it? We are not talking about folks who are there about to make lefts, but folks on 70mph limited access interstates who will STILL drive 55mph even when the dang signs say 70!

My personal favorite solution would be a grille mounted plasma cannon, but in the real world why can we not just issue citation to these idiots like crazy? Just about every state has a law on the books making it illegal and I KNOW you get a ticket for failure to yield to fast traffic in Europe, I have seen people get them....

2006 Chevy 3500 HD 6.6 Isuzu Diesel 6 spd Allison Auto Trans 6331 miles.
When I come into a town and coast down from 70 mph to 40 mph the trans stays in 6th gear lugging the rpm to 1100. Needless to say it gets pretty jerky. I have a Hobart 10k welder, Oxy/Acetylene bottles, Huge air compressor, and a 3ton 21 ft Auto Crane, Replacement filters for detroit 8v71 and 8v92 engines, 1 set swabs and liners for garner denver 4 1/2" mud pumps, 10gal 40w oil, 6 gal antifreeze, 5 gal 90Wt., and a complete master set of mechanics tools (sockets and wrenchs up to 3 1/2 " ) "oil field" The truck is weighed down pretty good.
It was purchased as cab & chassis.

Does anyone know of any updated calibrations that might address this issue. Keep in mind the symptom is intermittant. I just think it should downshift on it's own at 1100 rpm's maintaining 42 mph.
I checked alldata and got nothing.
The dealer was a waste of time too.
Please Chevy Guru's, tell me I have the wrong VB,PCM or calib.

What does it matter. Bikes are a preference for the most part.. I have read a lot of questions on this site were people are nocking down Harley's nocking down Hondas ect. .. This is all Bull crap!!!!

When are you people going to learn that what people ride, is a preference or it is what they could afford at the time...

This site is more of a joke than anything, who cares what you ride as long as you are riding...

You get on here and all you see is a lot of Bull SH@T. Why not ask some real questions...

And as for all of the Harley slams I see, and there seems to be more of them than any. Just like were you read about the guy being a show off or acting like a hard *** because he rides a Harley.
As any one of you priced some of these metric cruisers lately??? They are around the same PRICE anymore!!! And I see and hear a lot more of these metric cruisers with LOUD PIPES... Does that make them wanna a be's, HELL NO. It's probally what they like!!!

It's a 2005 Ford Ranger Edge. It was about $10,000 worth of damage (drive train replaced, fuel tank replaced, some frame work, muffler, wheel stuff, etc.). People are telling me just to sell it ones it's out. Insurance paid $9000. Is it a good idea to sell it? Reasons to sell or not to? How much do you honestly think I can make from it? I also owe about 7 grand on it too. Whould it make sense to sell it and buy an Ranger XLT instead? Thanks in advance.
