I have a 2000 Dodge Caravan. 4.2L engine.

My left rear wheel has begun to squeel. I have found a friend to do the repair, but he said I need to pick up all the parts and such.
What exactly do I need to buy for him to fix my brakes?

I have an 01 Camaro SS that i plan on putting LT headers on. Is there really a big diffenace between the heat coated ones and the regular painted LT's? Money is somewhat an issue and I know the painted are cheaper but is there any real drawback to the painted LT's or is it just appearance? Thanks

I noticed a small, quarter size gap of paint missing from my rear bumper, there is a very very small scratch, but nothing to indicate it had been hit by another car.. I noticed after feeling it, some of the paint just flakes off.. I know this may be a sign of a poor quality paint job, as I had that bumper replaced nearly a year ago after someone rear ended me, but my friends say that the gap will continually grow larger as the paint falls off..I don't want to have to have the whole bumper sanded down and repainted just yet, it is costly.. what are my options?

I have a 1997 Toyota Carolla and I've been noticing lately that it accelerates a lot slower than it used to. Is it just getting old or is there some way I can fix it? (Preferably a cheap and easy fix...)

I believe this is a code. I was wondering if anyone knows what this means, or has a link to where I may be able to find out. Also, right behind the rear shock there is a black box I think this controls Yamahas Exup system. It is now making a funny buzzing sound and I was just wondering if anyone knowsnwhat the problem is, has any info on it , or is currently having the same problem with there bike.

I'm considering hooking up an amp with 2 alpine 12's, but I do not have an alarm on the car, so I'd like to keep the factory stereo in.

I know it can be done, I bought the adapter already, but my question is, will it sound horrible if I have an amp hooked up to the factory stereo? I mean the factory stereo plays pretty clear and has good clarity in bass and everything.....

My friends son-in-law had his parents coming to visit him from California to Illinois. They were stranded in Wyoming and told the car cost too much to fix. so he drove in a rented vehicle from Illinois to Wyoming to pick them up and bring them to Illinois. How much do you think it cost to rent this mini van for a couple of days? I think he should take them back to California. What do you think?

Do they think the consumer is stupid enough to think they are better than the "name brands" of cars.

I have a slight movement disorder that makes fastening the typical helmet trap somewhat difficult. Does anyone know of a source of alternative helmet buckles. I am not sure one of those plastic style clips would be very strong, but, maybe something like a mini seat belt buckle would work. Websites, company names, phone numbers appreciated.

ok I bought a 96 talon from my work it had come in because the spark plug in #1 dropped the electrode and stalled. well we found that the compression was 90PSI on #1 and 170 on the other 3. well I took the head off and found that the electrode did a number on the head and piston. no holes in the piston or scratches on the cylinder walls. so I had the head resurfaced and a valve job done. I replaced the head gasket and and timming belt. now that I have it back together I'm gettin 180psi on #2,3,4 cylinders but only 135 on #1. I read on alldata that the minimum compression is 100Psi and the max difference between compressions is 25%. the difference between #2,3,4 and #1 is 25% should this be okay to drive? I really wouldn't want to have to rebuild the bottom after I just did the top

today my car started over heating and i cant fiqure out why. my inlet and outlet hoses fro my radiator seem to have pressure but when i disconnect both and try to blow through one it seems very hard to do. is it suppose to do that. ive tried flushing the system with water but has done nothing but over heat still. the fans are working and the oil is fine. what could it be. when when i disconnect either inlet or out let hose alone while running water comes out like it is passing through. does any one have any suggestions???? and if it is clogged in the engine block or the radiator how do i clear it.

My A/C will be cold when its not really hot outside, but when it is, it comes and goes, getting really hot when I idle but getting cooler when I start accelerating, then gradually staying hot. Is this a problem with the air compressor or is it getting low on C02?
