The one is bad on my truck . Its the one out on front diff not the shift lever one. Its for a 88 D2500 4x4 but all Dodge truck and some JEEPs have this set up. Only place I can find it is Dodge and you know the prices.(its a rusty old mainly off road plow truck) Looked on net but no luck. As I live in rust belt the use option is out. But I would take nice used one if found one. Any info would be nice.

I recently went to look at a used car and they had the price of the car, the tax, and another item that read "dealer fees". It was about 185 dollars.

We cleaned up the old go-karts yesterday. They ran only for a few minutes while we did a test run just before dark.

Then, this morning, on the first pull we hear a clank, and it was a BIG sound. We continued to pull it and it still had compression and no strange noise for about 10 pulls, and then compression was gone. We felt air coming out of the carb so we knew it was a valve problem. We got in there, and sure enough it was. After some cleaning and lubricating the valve came closed. We turned over the engine and watched as the valve was pushed open and CLANK! Again, it was stuck open.

Heres me question, why would the valve be stuck so bad? The sound is clearly caused by the MOVEMENT of the valve, and not something breaking.

What "kind" of stuck is this?

I just had a new radiator installed into my Grandfathers car and noticed there was no coolant in the container by the engine. Does there need to be coolant even if it's a new radiator?

Our fan will not go on when cars temp starts rising we thought it was a sensor on the bottom of the engine but everyone told us that they quit making it, so we ran a wire with a toggle to manually turn on/off the fan, however we can not keep running it like that, any advice on what it is or what sensors/ switches we should look into? Or can someone lead me in the right direction.

I know rubbing compound can work for scratches on the metal parts like doors and hoods, but im not sure that would work on plastic. I know i probably cant get the physical scratches themselves out, but right now they are a lighter color because of the exposed unpainted plastic

I have a 94' ford tempo, i am experiencing the car shutting off while im driving. I had someone check it out for me and he told me it could be the fuel pump, someone else told me to put it on the machine to find out if its that. sometime the car shuts off while driving, i would pull over, wait about 15 minutes then it would start again, what is wrong with my car?
