Like I mentioned, I have an '88 chevy silverado, and it is really getting bad on the rust. The rear fender wells are all rusted out, then cab corners and rocker panels are shot, and the front fenders are half way there. And all around the truck in little spots the paint has a spot of rust here and there. I've been told before that this model of truck or just around these years, that it is just the design of it that causes it. Is this true? Any input or info about this subject is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

I own a 01 Volkswagen Golf. Recently the notification sound that signals that your lights have been left on doesn’t work anymore. It seems that its somehow related to the door ajar sensor which also doesn’t seem to be working. My Check engine light has also been coming on every month or so. When my mechanic plugs the car into the computer, I don’t believe he gets much info on any specific problem. Im not sure if that is related or to this specific problem or not. Any help pointing me the right direction would be appreciated.

I recently bought a 92 ford explorer xlt with A4LD transmion, as it turns out the transmission was bad so I bought a new one and have instaled it

After installing the new one, now it wont work, the wheels dont turn at all

I believe I may have overfilled the transmission somewhat but even so I think it should be working at least a little bit

someone told me it could be a missaligned torque convertor
but it all fit correctly

well if anyone knows plz tell me, Im starting to think it is a misaligned torque convertor thanks :)

I recently bought a car with a bulldog keyless entry / remote start installed. It only came with one remote and it is cracked (plastic housing) it still works, but I need to get another one. all of the numbers are worn off. I looked at the circuit board inside and the only distinguishing number I can find is "0042 rev. 4". It has 4 buttons (one of them is red)

any useful advice?

Car antenna won't retract, any ideas on what the repair might cost or if there are cheaper alternatives?
I bought a used car about 9 months ago and it has one of those antennas that automatically retracts when you turn off the radio or turn off the car, and then comes back out again whenever the radio is turned back on. The problem is that a few months back, I switched from CD to radio and then when I got out of the car, the antenna had not gone down. So I turned the car on and off again, and I could hear the antenna motor trying to pull the antenna back down but it was not going anywhere. I assume that what I need to do is replace the motor, but if there is a cheaper alternative that would be great (I don't want to damage or remove the antenna because even though I usually listen to Ipod/CDs, I do occasionally use the radio). Any idea on cost of replacing the motor or any alternatives?

I found the factory manual listed at Helm Inc's website for $135, is this the best way to go? I found an ESI Techline DVD manual on eBay for $40. Are there any other options, and which manual is the best to have for reference? In particular I need to do a brake job on my 2004 2500HD Diesel crew cab, but as I'm planning on driving this truck for many years, I'd like to have a good reference for the whole vehicle.

My husband and I were dual military. I just got out of the military and he is due to be out in February of next year. The plan is for me to stay out here with him in our apartment until about the end of November. Then I will go home and buy a house and start college in January and everything will be set up when he gets out of the Military in February. Here are the questions:
Should he take two weeks vacation to pick the house, then I stay at home and buy it? If so, I would have to buy a round trip plane ticket (San Diego to St. Louis) and then I guess drive my car back to St. Louis.... where would I keep my stuff while going through the buying process? Who would I live with? WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY CATS? I don't think that they would get along at either of my parent's houses because they have dogs. How am I going to get them there? Car? Plane? We are so confused, someone please give us some tips!

I am planning on purchasing a new Honda VTX 1300C and want to work an aftermarket exhaust into the sale. The exhaust requires that I put in a jet kit. My dealer recommended "breaking in" the engine first. However, I would rather not if it is not necessary.

I know I've seen it before, but I cant remember what particular south-eastern asian country it was in. I believe it is a kind of fishing boat, however I could be completely mistaken. It is typically covered by a short roof. Top down it looks like a rectangle (fairly long, and some-what wide), and from the sides it looks like a thin half oval. I can't find any photos of it at the moment.

For the record, we already know pretty much how we are going to build it (for a card-board/duct-tape boat project) but we want to find some photos to refer to for coloring and certain features, mainly the shape and construction of the roof, to keep authenticity.

If I've been riding dirtbikes avidly for several years now, and have a good command of them, what types of sportbikes should I look into for the street? I'm planning on taking an MSF class soon, and getting all the right gear, etc. I've been intruiged by some 900cc Buells, and some 600cc+ japanese sportbikes, but I'm wondering if I'd hae any trouble with these. Obviously, I want to stay in one piece, but I also don't want to get bored quickly with my motorbike - I'm sure you bikers understand. Given the number of hours i've spent on a dirtbike, would you say to go ahead and get a non-'beginner' bike?
