My Ford Explorer will start and I can drive it but then my battery light comes on after about two minutes of driving my car, I can still drive the car though the battery is just really low. Is this a battery problem or do I need a new alternator?

I am moving from Virginia to Alabama in 2 months. I had planned on getting a full sized U-haul for my things but my new apartment is furnished so now I have to take far less. Can you put a hitch on a 91 Nissan Sentra that could pull one of those little Uhaul trailers? Would the car have enough power? Would Uhaul allow it? Its the only car I have and I can't see to waste the money on a full 10 foot truck when it will only be 1/5 full now.

I have a 1997 Saturn SL2 and recently have noticed the transmission seems to be occasionally slipping, especially in reverse. The fluid is fine in color, smell and its full. I was wondering if these slips could be related to the air conditioning system. My car seems to shift slightly when I switch on the air conditioning. Please let me know so I don't buy a new transmission!

I currently own an DLX v6 89 camry and am looking for advice to improve my gas mileage "19 city/ 24 highway mpg"
but I'm only getting about 18 on the highway for some reason
Please answer as many of my questions as you can, I appreciate your help
1) How do I know how much air to pump into my tires? (size: P195/60R15)
2) What kind of oil should I use to change my oil and is 5 quarts enough for a v6 engine?
3) What kind of antifreeze/coolant fluid do I use (color)?
4) Engine hesitates sometimes on startup, then dies, making me restart the engine again, could this be the sparkplugs?
5) Any additional advice you can give me?

How many motorcycle mechanics do we have that know of motorcycles with 6 speed transmissions? I test drove a Honda Sabre that was a 6 speed with rubber motor bushings. IT was an incredible ride. Is there any other bike besides the honda line VF models that offer this comfort without going to a harley or goldwing?

Take in consideration price does reflect my buying decision. The reason I ask this question is. The earlier models of the magna and sabre had cam oiler issues I read. and they are water cooled.

I would like to think I have other options in that catigory with an air cooled bike without those same issues.

the key is in the "on" position, but you do not start the engine; the battery sign is lit on the instrument panel...
in this case, how long will it take for the battery to drain if
1. the A/C is on
2. just the fan is on ?

I had only had my nissan qashqai for 2 days when the alam broke (kept on going off and not working) still havent fixed it. Soon after, Parsel shelf clip broke. Still not fixed. The bit by the mirror has droped down when they had looked at the alam sensors, still not fixed. On the dashboard above the speedometer the leather is pealing off from the dash, still not fixed. Please let me know if you have any problems.
