when i drive my 88 ford tarus it runs fine (started four days ago) now everytime i drive it for about tens minutes and cut it off white smoke seems to come out behind the engine, i have plenty of anti-freeze i recently got an oil change and a flush because the inside was dirty(the guy also recommended i get a transmission flush because that was dirty, but i cant afford one right now) i have plenty of power steering and transmission fluid, and i dont know whats wrong it jus seems to over heat and produce white some only from behind the engine it doesnt come out the tail pipe, the tail pipe doesnt smell sweet my oil on the stick isnt bubblly or milky, the oil cap doesnt have a white ring around it, so i dont know if i blew a head or wat, do i need a new fuel filter? because i heard i could have water in my fuel lines i have no idea. anyone? thanks

I have a 97 Jeep Cherokee Sport and it just started making a noise when I left to come back to work from lunch today. When I am moving slow, it makes a grinding noise near the rear driver's side wheel. When I go above, I think, 10-15mph, it stops but then starts again when I am stopping. Applying the brakes doesn't seem to make it better or worse.

Any ideas on what this could be, or what I should check?

Pretty much i just got my system in. I went ahead and kept the stock head unit. My question is is upgrading it really worth it. The stock unit i have now isnt to bad its a 07 dodge charger. Also i hear that replacing the head unit will make my subwoofer louder do to something about the signal strength or signal line?

The "super unleaded" and the "super supreme unleaded"? C'mon now, I've never heard of anybody said that their car was inoperable because they use regular unleaded instead of thier recommended super unleaded plus.

I just bought a 2003 Venture 3.4liter. After the purchase was complete 2 days later I noticed that on top of the engine there was a "5.0" hand written in green and a few markings on the engine in yellow. I tried to locate the VIN # on the engine to see if matches the VIN# on the car but I can not locate it. And the dealership sold it to me obligated to tell me if this was a junk yard engine and what my rights are? I bought it on June 11 and today is June 18th. They might not have known if this was a Junkyard engine also but they have mechanics look over them before they put it in the lot. I need all the help I can get.
thanks

An excel spreadsheet would be ideal, so I can search for attributes.

I have a friend who is having a Harley-themed wedding and she can't find any Harley or motorcycle confetti. I've looked for a while on the internet and couldn't find anything. If you find some, please let me know where.

When I ride over those bridges that open, that have a steel roadway surface, (we have quite a few of those in Massachusetts) I feel like I have very little traction and have to be extra careful and slow. ie. no more than 30 mph. Is this truly the case or is it just time for a new rear tire? How many miles should one expect on motorcycle tires?

We have a 2007 Honda Civic EX Coupe that we just bought in the end of March. A couple of days ago, the battery had died, so we jump started it. It started working again, so we just put it in the garage. We left it there for like 4 days, so now, when we try to turn the ignition on, it won't work. Does that mean we have to buy a new battery, or just jump start it, and let it charge?! Please help!!

My engine consumes more oil than it should while it does not even emit smoke either black of blue, it does leak little on the head cover but very minimal. I believe the engine is now blowby but how does it comsume too much oil without smoke? One litter of oil to 1000 kilometers or one litter a week.

I used to date a woman who didn't want to own a pickup as she didn't want to be considered "butch." Going back through my memory, I can't think of one woman who owned a full size pickup as her only vehicle. I'm not counting those who drive one which belongs to a husband, boyfriend, brother, father. Why don't more women drive full size pickups?
