I got a flat tire. While changing it, one of the bolts came completely off. Now, I can get the three on, but the fourth, the whole bolt just fell off.

I do not live close to my auto center (maybe an hour and a half). Is it safe at all to drive with only three bolts holding on the spare?

I have an 86 Ford F150 4x4 that will hot start. When I turn the key it rolls over, it just won't fire up. I have poored gas into the carborator (single barrel) and it fires up, so I think it is a fuel problem. There isn't any gas leaking so i'm thinking it is a fuel pump or the fuel filter. I was wanting to get a Helms manual to see where the pump and filter are located and doing the work myself. Any sugestions or Ideas.

I just got this truck and its awsome, it has 4wheel drive but im not sure how to operate it and im afraid to try anything for fear of breaking my transmisson. It has a gear shift in the floor and it has 2h 4h N 2L 4L and it has a switch/knob on the front wheels that have a free and locked positions. Im certian that the switch/knob on the front wheels have to be in a certian position to engage the 4wheels but im sure what to do with the gear shift in the floor. basicaly i need step by step instruction on how to operate my 4wheel drive. Any insight on this would be extremly helpful. A link to a web site or if it exist online the owners manual for that truck. Thank in advance.

I quite often see other drivers swerve around manhole covers. It really doesn't make sense why they do this. I always drive over them; it's no big deal. It's not like driving over a manhole cover is going to cause any damage to a vehicle. Maybe they're afraid of falling in?

Hi, I have a '96 chevy corsica, this morning it started making a humming noise when I stop and right when i start, like at red lights. So I took it to my mechanic and he said the power steering pump is whistling and not to worry about it yet. He said he needs to order the part, and that its ok to drive -just that if it breaks it may be hard to steer. So i picked the car up and now about 4 hours later i was driving and my ABS light came on? then like 2 minutes later my radio went off, then my speedometer started jumping all around, so i drove straight home and the car was driving really rough. When i turned it off at home, now it want do anything. When I turn the key it doesnt make any noises. My interior lights come on, but not the radio? Any ideas? My grandpa said he thinks it sounds like my alternator? ~THANKS!

My 1995 Chevy Lumina is overheating, about a pinky's width from 260 degrees, and the radiator is fairly new. I have a high flow air intake would that effect this? Is it the water pump? I see no leaking even after a day or two of being parked. I need help a.s.a.p. Thanks for any opinions.

I have a 95 Ford Explorer and it runs just fine except when the weather gets hot, sometimes it has trouble starting. It starts and immediately dies. Sometimes it'll start if you put it in nuetral and rev up the engine for a minute or two. It only does this when the weather gets hot outside. Any other time (Fall, Winter, at night, etc.) it starts just fine with no problems. Any ideas on what could be the reason?

Some hater keyed my bike! It was actually like this when I bought it, I figured it would be no big deal to fix since it is almost all on the sticker. check out the damage!

first link is the fiche for the lower fairing, second is a better picture of my lower fairing. From what I can tell there are 4(?) separate stickers on the fairing: The suzuki emblem, the decal at the top of the piece, and the gsx and the r emblems overlaid on top of the last decal. To replace the sticker that got keyed I would need to replace all of these except for the suzuki emblem.
