Cars & Transportation - 16 November 2006

I am a technician with 25 yrs experience. Although the bulk of it has been with gm vehicles, I still do a lot of import work. The problem I have is that i am replacing outer cv boots on a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder. I have the axle separated from the steering knuckle and cut the old boot away. The problem is that i dont know how to release the outer joint from the axle. I dont see any snap ring in the joint. Could someone knowlegeable about the product tell me how the joint separates.

Does anyone have a rough idea how much it would cost to restore an old Japanese car, say, an old Nissan 300ZX? Assume that the engine, transmission, external paint, and interior all need to be repaired or replaced, but it doesn't have to be exactly like the original parts. (I know this is a crazy idea -- just wondering.)

I can't seem to find any websites that provide such an estimate.

Thanks a lot!

I went out ot my 2002 Chevy Impala tonight and found a puddle of water in the front passenger side floor (no anti-freeze). I haven't had any problem with the heat or defrost, just this all of a sudden. My father says it may be the heater core, my friends at auto zone said it may be the hoses that come through the fire wall into the dash. How do I know which one it is? Also, are heater cores expensive and how long does it take to replace, I'm going to Columbus tomorrow to get ready for the Ohio State/Michigan game and I wanted to drive. Thankx

and go up in the air a couple miles above new york while the earth turned below you then after about 3 hours because the earth is turning under you then you would come down in california. but if you get in a jet and travel west at aprox. 600 miles an hour why does it still take you 3 hours to get to california.

I have a 97 Dodge Caravan I purchased in March of this yr. The mileage on it was 97kms. 10 days ago I put the van into the shop to have oil leak repairs (seals & gaskets ). Prior to doing so, I noticed a large pull of liquid under the front driver's wheel ( pink color ). I assumed it was coming from the transmission, so I had this checked as well. Well, it turns out there was a leak coming from the radiator which apparently contaminated the transmission. As a result I was advised the tranny needed replaced. It cost me $2000.00. Note, when I did purchase the van I took out an extended warranty to cover transmission problems. This problem was not covered because " the problem stemmed from the leak in the radiator , which was not covered under warranty " Can you please let me know if this is possible. I can somehow understand that the fluid from the radiator keeps the tranny cool. But, this seems a little far fetched. I feel I have been ripped off.

Discuss what preflight action concerning the airport and aircraft performance is specified in the regulations for a local airport.
I think I know what they want but I'm no sure.

Does any of you intentionally speed up when someone is trying to get in front of you?
Or what about when they pop out in front of you cutting you off and you get the finger from them?
Or better yet ride your a*** when the other lane is free?
I'd Love to hear some Honest stories of things we intentionally do to other driver's and you know it's wrong,but you GOTTA do it!This should be interesting........................

I am seriously thinking about putting either a 4" or a 6" lift on my 97 F-250 4X4. What is a good way to go? I want to raise it up some, but I do NOT want it to look like some dips*it high school kid owns it! It needs to be functional for a gooseneck trailer afterwards. I also don't want to have to put 10K into parts like new drivelines, etc.

The local professional shop want $1700 'out the door' for the 4". Is this reasonable?

Other info/input is appreciated,

Thx.

Anyone have any ideas or experience in this area?

I can not operate the fob from inside the house about 30 feet away. I replaced the batteries and that did not help.

I have replaced the air filter under the seat and the spark plug and am still getting the same result. The atv sat in my shop for around 3.5 months. I will appreciate anything and everything.

Although the accident is not my fault I was making a left at the advanced flashing green light; and I was no longer in the intersection when the other driver jump the green light and rear ended my vehicle. Now apparently if you make any left and there is an accident you are at fault but..I'm waiting to hear back from insurance to find out whether they will go 50/50 with me or I take a loss. The damages are $2500 and labour $3200. I cant afford this and I wanted to sell my vehicle as is but I dont know where to start.
