I have already priced the parts. The 3:73 gears are on sale for about $250.00 and the Posi is about $400.00 to $450.00. So, if i buy the parts and take both parts and truck to a shop. How much should I estimate paying? I have nowhere to do the work myself so I'm forced to use speed shops. I have contacted a VERY reputable garage in my area and he charges $80.00 an hour. Is that a fair price and how much time should I estimate him taking?

I found this pretty nice sized Dodge truck at a dealer nearby, I'm sort of interested in it. But in the back of my mind I remember the Grand Caravan I had that would always break down and need repairs. The biggest incident was when the cable underneath the van came loose during a long road trip for vacation. After that I have had no faith in Dodge. Its a dakota if that changes your mind. Can I expect a 05 Dodge Dakota to be reliable?

I have changed plugs with no difference. It has backfired lightly a couple of times. I have dual exhaust and I seem to be hearing it from the right side(maybe just my imagination) It doesn't seem to miss under heavy acceleration, but jerks the whole car under light acceleration at low rpm. At constant speed or idle, it seems ok. Any clues???

Ok, so I am a stuipd female and my husband is in the hospital! My car died last night. It started fine when I left work, I turned my car off when I got home, then 10 minutes later it would not start. We tried to jump it, but it wouldn't turn over, it tried but just wouldn't start. As soon as we took off the jumper cables, the lights worked but the car wouldn't even try to start. Does this sound like just the battery to anyone? Why would it die so quickly? Wouldn't I have had trouble before the battery totally died?

okay, so I just bought this car! and now I'm freaking out. because there's already something wrong with it.

I was driving and the blinkers would work fine, then all of a sudden, they just wouldn't work, and that happened the whole night.. I don't know if it was because I was messing with the wires for the stereo earlier and I might have hit one of the other wires in there or something, but I just wanted to know how I could check it out in there without taking my car into the shop.

with the exception of at railroad crossings [where cars pass over the tracks], train tracks always seem to be surrounded or lined with gravel underneath the tracks and on a few feet on either side. you don't see tracks laid on top of cement or dirt or sand or grass or asphalt... always gravel.

anyone have a logical explanation?

Last Monday (the 27th), I was walking in DC and waiting for the pedestrian light to turn "green". Something to the side caught my eye and at the same time, I saw two cars side by side driving by. When I looked over, I noticed that the pedestrian light had been green for two seconds, and those two cars ran a red light. I was like, "Wait a minute - if I had gone when my light turned green, I might have been hit!" Even today, four days later, I can't help but think what would have happened if I had been hit. Would I have had only minor injuries? Or would I be in the hospital? In a coma? Possiby dead? I tried convincing myself that every year, hundreds (if not thousands) of people get hit by cars, and only a number of those instances are fatal, and many victims gain full (or almost full) recovery. But I need further "consolation". If you or somebody you know got hit by a car, what happened? Any advice would be great - it's keeping me up at night! Thanks.

My car got hit... the bumper is almost falling off. It is not my fault and the other person's insurance is covering it and they are sending me a check to cover the cost of it being fixed.

Here's the thing... my car is a POS. I doubt it's even worth $1000. Do I have to get my car fixed with the money? Or can I use it how I want (such to help get a new car with)? I know the ethical thing to do would be to get it fixed, but it may actually be totaled (still drivable but the cost of getting it fixed may be more than it's worth). I was thinking about telling the insurance company, but I don't want to risk losing the $ to get it fixed...

I've heard of other people getting in accidents, then getting the check and just not getting the car fixed.

Anyone know?

When is the right time to add your teen to your insurance, at 15 when they get their permit, or at 16 when they get their actual license?

If it makes any difference I live in Michigan.
