I'm wondering if i want to install a mini-fridge in the car and be able to on the air-con in my stationary car for 1 hour,engine running, will i need an extra battery or will my car die off because i'm relying too much on a single battery? Is installing an extra battery a better alternative?

I own a '97 Toyota 4Runner with 140K miles on it, and was wondering how often I should have the transmission flushed. A 76 Station gave me an estimate of $160 for their $4,000 machine that pulls all the old stuff out and really flushes it with new--so it doesn't grime up again in a couple of months. Is this "machine" different than any other service station, or is that standard? And is this a normal estimate? (it includes all the fluid for replacement)

Tacoma .. 96. Rotors have warped 2x now since I put new pads
on last fall ( pulsation on braking) The pulsation is back BUT ONLY ON HIGH SPEED STOPS IE COMING OFF THE INTERSTATE-
city speed stops are as smooth as silk ! Should I replace
the rotors or hang in till it gets worse...will it get worse?
They were turned on prev. warps and have 1 more turn left-
but its either replace or keep as the options. Given the pulsarion is hig speed only THIS TIME..should I go on and replace or hang loose?

I have some extra money left over and I want to get something nice for my car. I was looking at an all in one DVD/CD unit with touchscreen monitor, (pretty badass, I've always wanted one) or a cat-back exhaust system. Both are about $400, but I can only get one at this time. I like the DVD player for looks and function but the exhaust would be a great addition to my car...

Which would you get first?

I am a High School student and have been doing research on the Lockheed. I want to design jets and just work in creating, designing and working on jets. I love working with a team and alone as well. What job field would this be in? Is it in my best interest to go to college or go to the Air Force and get training there? Does Lockheed require college and if so how many years for this position, but if not can i go into this position straight from the Air Force or should i do both?

The first issue is cold starts in the morning. When I start the car in the morning it idles very rough then seems to settle down after about five minutes. I thought this was an obvious glow plug problem. I had all the glow plugs and the relay replaced but the problem persisted.

The second part to this idling problem takes place when the car is warm. A typical scenario is this: I’m driving on the freeway and the car is running perfectly. When I exit the freeway and come to an idle at say, a stoplight, the car starts to idle roughly. Sometimes the problem is so bad the car looks like an out of balance washing machine.

Despite my fears, the car has never died but it feels like it will at any moment. Overall, it feels like the car is starving for fuel. Maintenance wise, the filters are clean and I add the occasional fuel treatment.

Just last week, I had the injectors replaced, to the tune of 668.00. When I started the car the next morning the problem remained. Help!

Just as the question says above. I have a 4 cyl engine, I have facotry size tires which are 15".

Right now I have 2 BF Goodrich Traction t/a tires in the front, a General Tire on the back passenger side (which is balder than Patrick Stewart) and a "Road Hugger" tire I got from discount tire.

The road Hugger is pretty new but the other two need to be replaced.

Any suggestions between 60 and $90 a tire?
