My truck is a 1992 F-150. It has a 300 straight six(half of a v-12) and a five speed manual transmission. I am trying to turn it into a 4x4, and I already have a transfer case that will work,, but I need the spacer that mounts the transfer to the transmission. Any help that anyone can provide on where to look for this spacer will be greatly appreciated.

I was driving around yesterday, and when I stopped, I saw the rpms of the engine drop, and eventually hit 0 and the engine shut off. This only happens when I'm slowing down and about to stop. I have to constantly rev the engine to keep it from dropping down and shutting off. It doesn't happen everytime I stop, usually aftre I have been driving for a while. When its about to shut off, I can rev the engine really high, about 4,000 rpms, and it will keep it from happening for another couple minutes, otherwise it keeps happening until it eventually cuts off.
Does anyone know what is wrong, or possibly how to fix it?

2003 Suburban - had no power (drained battery)... In a hurry I purchased a new battery (didn't have the alt or battery checked).

After putting in the new battery all seemed well, until I noticed the idle was very poor. The vehicle stalled when in reverse and using the power steering. I'm noticing the RPMs hover around 250-400 usually over 500 at idle. When applying the gas higher RPMs all seems fine.

I went back to parts store and had the alternator checked. It showed 13.2 volts, and 0 (zero) amps. So I installed a new alternator... The volts were now 13.8 and the amps were around 5 (still too low). So I swap the new alternator again.

I was assuming my poor idle was due to the alternator not putting out the necessary power. I'm heading back to the parts store to test yet again. Assuming I didn't get two bad alternators, what else could be causing the poor idle and low amps? Everything was fine before the battery died....

At around 10pm last night, i was waiting at a stoplight next to an SUV at an empty intersection. I was riding my gsxr 750. I was bored so I was making direct eye contact with the driver just to mess with him. Then I reached into my jacket, I just had to scratch an itch. Suddenly the guys eyes widened a little and he took off straight through the red light. I thought it was pretty funny. Do I look like a mobster? Or are people just afraid of bikes?

Hello everyone,
I own a 89 CRX DX - and recently i noticed when driving from a stop, the car has very little horsepower now. but once i get the engine reving around 3000RPM. The power is fine. Also one day i found my battery dead and unable to get the starter going, and had to jump it. Car starts now, but the horsepower in the 0~2500RPM range is verry bad still. Anyhow, I was wondering if this loss of power is a symptom of a failing alternator? Would appreaceate any input, since i dont want to start repacing parts blindly. Hopefully someone has experienced something like this. thanks!!

I have driven a few cars lately and it seems that the amount of work needed to steer the vehicle during parking is different. Isn't all power steering the same or is there any problem?

In 1980-82 I was using Gasahol in my car. They sold it at CITGO. It was 15% Corn Alcohol. It worked fine in my car.
I would have thought it easy to mandate everyone use it and cut our consumption 15% right off the top.

A partner and I are starting a business and are going to use his vehicle. We thought that maybe my name should be added to the title since we are considering using a joint insurance policy for it as well as other assorted items in our venture. Can my name be added to the title and he/we be able to retain the current loan satisfaction for said vehicle. ie...loan in his name and vehicle is the collateral.

Hey,

I just ordered these glowing car pedals for my car, but do not know how to install them. My car is an automatic, so there are only two pedals. If you could give me detailed step by step instructions on how to install them, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance
