This is a 1990 f600 ford 6 cyl. diesel dump. It is not the alternator because I dissconnected the wires and the keys are out of the ignition. When I take an ohms tester with the battery dissconnected and take the positive and negative terminals which would connect to the battery I get a reading very close to 0 (.023). Any ideas where this draw or short could be? This just recently happened.

Also the GVWR of this is 23,000 any idea of how much weight I would be able to pull with this with the truck being empty?

I have a '95 F-150. Has anyone else ever had a problem with the front cross member, under the engine, cracking? I am wondering if i should weld it back up or just sell the truck. Is it likely that maybe it cracked because the whole frame is shifting? Serious answers only please, no "buy a chevy" or anything like that or you will be reported for abuse.

This is something that i have been wanting to know for a long time and that is how comes there are no women commerical airline pilots.

I have done alot of travelling and have taken dozens of flights and on every single one of those flights both the pilots have been men.

After all women are equal to men and there isn't anything that they can't do that men can do.

There are many women which have skilled jobs such as doctors lawyers engineers physicists etc and there are women serving in the armed forces such as the military and navy and even the airfocre and there are women police officers women paramedics and women fire officers.

Those are all skilled jobs but for some reason there are no women working as commercial airline pilots, there have been women pilots i know but none of them have ever worked for a commercial airline.

So why is this ?

My husband and I purchased and 04 Chevy Tahoe back in October of 2006. We aslo purchased an extended warranty with it to cover anything that breaks. Well we are looking to trade it in for a different vehicle and I was thinking about canceling the warranty on the SUV before we trade it in so we can get that money back, we financed it through Americredit (don't ask me why b/c my husband has excellent credit and Americredit is a secondary lender, but anyways...) How do I go about cancelling the extended warranty? Approximatly how long does it take to recieve the check in the mail?

Today I put in STP Fuel Injector & Carburetor Treatment. I used this product with the advice of my father. I showed him the bottle and he said that was the wrong one. I was suppose to use STP Super Concentrated Gas Treatment. This product will remove assising deposit and the one I put in my tank will not. He told me to wait until the next time I fill up my car. Is this the correct way to use the product? Or should I put the right one in now? Or better yet, are these product useful

I need an Ignition Canister and a Warm Up Regulator for a volvo 240 turbo (81-85). I've searched all over the internet, and all of their prices are in the hundreds of dollars. I'm just looking for some cheap used parts. Does anyone know of any SPECIFIC places (preferably online) where i can order those parts?

Please don't say "your local junk yard" - i've already checked there. I'm not an idiot and I'm not new to looking for parts online - but these older CIS parts are damn near impossible to find at a decent price.

So there is a strong need for a express train from Hoboken Terminal to Stamford,CT. This will enable all of New Jersey residents to commute and work in Stamford,CT and other parts of CT. Currently my commute is so tiresome, i take the JSQ PATH to 33rd( b$1.20), walk and take Yellow subway train to Times SQ ($2), walk and take shuttle train to Grand central, walk in grand central and take MTA to stamford ($12.25) which is very tiresome, so please put a train as soon as possible". This is the complaint i put in MTA website and they replied that they can't do it. I want to know if i can give a petition to anybody like the mayor, governer, minister of railways, even president of america, i want to know the process. Is there a way i can contact organizaations and get them to write a letter with all the signatures of people

I'm having brake problems with my Megane coupe. The brakes are going solid erratically and the ABS kicks in. It's been suggested that I remove the fuse for the ABS to switch it off. Is this a safe idea? What else might it affect? Thanx, G.

I have a 2002 Pontiac Montana, 3.4 liter, with a diagnosed "pin hole in gasket". The mechanic stated a "quick fix" coud be "alumiseal" which wil run thru the system and hopefully sea the "pin hole." He put a half a container in and I added 1 whole container later. I drove the vehicle for approx 20 minutes-no overheating and let it run by itself for another 25 minutes-no overheating. However, when I shut te vehicle off, I got the "hissing" and could again see the antifreeze coming out of the "pin hole". The addition of the alumiseal did make a difference. My question is can I try to use another small can of alumiseal. Will it cause any damage to the system or anything else? The "pin hole" is located on the top part of the engine I believe he referred to as the "intake manifold and or gasket area". I need your advise. We dont have the money at this time to properly fix the problem. Need your advise. Thanks
