Run/Release, Service, Lap. What does it do to the trains braking system when these options are applied or released?
Which provides a quicker response to the brakes?

ok I have an aftermarket radio for my car...
pioneer DEH-P3700MP.

my car currently has factor head unit (radio/cassete player) and trunk unit (factory amp). I removed the factory radio and unplugged all its wires.

What I need to do know is hook up the aftermarket radio but I need to bypass the car amp so it instead uses the aftermarket radio's amp.

I called best buy they told me to bring it by but they said to bypass factory amp alone is $150. This was disappointing to hear. I know people can bypass the factory amps themselves with a simple kit. How can I do it for my specific car.

oh the factory car radio/amp is a becker model BE1432.


oh and another quick problem - my car's alarm will go off if it thinks the radio is stolen once the car is alarmed. Since I took out the radio, if I lock (alarm) the car and leave, 5 minutes later the alarm goes off - it thinks the radio is stolen. So I basically cant lock (alarm) my car.. its annoying!

hey all , i have a mercedes 350sdl. it has lot of miles on it (over 175k) but it still runs well. Today I noticed something odd. When I would accelerate above 40/45mph, i would hear a hissing sound, sort of like air hissing out of a leak. Also the acceleration wasnt working correctly, I could barely get above 50mph - the rpm was spinning up but the car wasnt accelerating like it should.

I took it to the mechanic who knows the car well, and he found I had very low tranmission fluid. We filled that up and I did some test driving in the city around his shop, and it ran normally - I was very pleased. He told me if it went back to the same probably there might be a fluid leak.

But when I got onto the highway to go home, my acceleration felt not as strong as it should when going for exapmle 50-70mph. It was fine going from stop to go, however.

Any ideas? and I still don't know what that hissing sound from earlier was.. but I haven't heard it since,

Thanks.

dealer sold me Avalanche with 17s on ground and 15" spare. I called on this and they said that a 17" wheel wouldn't fit under the truck, where the spare is located. This just doesn't seem right.

My friend who rides told me that the law does not require you to have insurance if you ride a motorcycle. He said it's only an option if you want to purchase insurance or not. Is there any truth to this??

I am not looking for a great job. I have access to a cheap power painter that I think is typically used for painting houses. I only paid 300 for the truck and would like to keep this cheap. Please dont post that i should take it to a pro(cause I wont). I have spray painted a primer on already.

Thanks for all replies.

Are all the engines in a 1999 Manual (stick) dodge Neon the same? If so, what is it? Is it a single or dual exhaust?

I have a '92 S-10 blazer w/110,00 miles. I have changed the in-line fuel filter, plugs, wires, rotor & cap. It runs pretty well, accept it hesitates just a little. My truck turns over for about 5-15 seconds before it "catches", it acts like its starving for gas. Its fuel injected...so I don't touch the gas...I've put a bottle of injector cleaner in the tank as well as "dry-gas". Once it does fire over...it acts a little rough...until I drive down the road and it clears up. Any clue why?

I have a 1993 Ford Taurus that I got from an insurance settlement after wrecking my 1996 Ford Mustang. I kept the stock CD player from the Mustang and I am wondering whether I can put the CD player into the Taurus. If I can, I would like to know how to install it. Any advice would be great!
