I have a 2002 Ford Ranger Edge with a 3.0 V6 with a 4 speed auto A/T and the transmission in going out. Would it be cheaper for me to buy a remanufactured transmission and install it myself or would it be cheaper for me to have a repair shop rebuild it?

Like the title I bought it, test drove 4 others and needed a car with good mpg which is reliable. It seems the car is underrated and devalues alot on miles. I didn't test drive the corolla nor jetta. Has anyone driven all 3 cars and which one the liked the best. Heck, I should I just bought a focus with 40k miles for 5k, my mistake! Ive got 18k on the car so far with no problems at all ( besides drag and weak sound from the radio ), Im only getting 29 mpg, and once i hit 32 mpg. Also note this is city driving and with the a/c blowing. But i do not get better or worse mpg no matter how i drive either I floor or drive conservative same mpg. engine is surprising, it feels as much power as my 3.8l 2004 impalla, I was shocked! but anyway, please give out some suggestions whether my buy was good or not. I paid 12,000. Before taxes and such and was new. Thanks!

Why is the resell value on land rovers so depriciated.New ones go for around $35,000- to $95,000, and used ones go from $20,000 down with very little miles and very minimal damage.I was wondering if it had anything to do with the cost of general maintance and routine care.

I have a 92 4.0L Wrangler, has had a oil pump replaced a few months ago. It has 140K miles. The problem is this.. Sometimes (can go a whole day of driving without this happening at times) The oil pressure will drop to 0. At this time a lifter gets real noisey and a rod rap can be heard if you rev it. It stays at zero until I shut the motor off and restart. Every time I resart it goes back up, even after 1 second of off/on cycle. I am losing oil pressure and it doesn't come back until I shut down and restart, strange. I have the oil pan off and oil pump out, all looks like new still.

As I said, It has gone a full day at 40psi no problem and then some days it can do this zero drop 2 times within 5 minutes.

Temperature, driving conditions angle, nothing seems to change its habits.

I am thinking maybe the oil pressure relief valve? Maybe the oil filter (new by the way) There must be something doing this!!??? Help please.

I have a 2000 minivan and the tires have never been replaced. i have a hole in one of them now and they said they could not patch it because it was too close to the edge, but my husband wants to take it to someone else to see if they will patch it now, he doesn't want to buy new tires. Is there a mileage that they need to be replaced by. the tread is okay on them i guess. I just want to be safe on the winter roads with three kids..

You'd get a ticket if you didn't wear one while in a car, but buses get into accidents too? Are we bus riders less valuable than you selfish, polluting vehicularists?

It feels like I am pushing against a brick when I try to accelerate in my car. It feels this way in drive and neutral (auto transmission) so I don't think it's the tranny.
