I have a 97 cadillac deville and the other day i seen the coolant temp. reach about 240. I shut off car and seen that my belt on my waterpump was off and that it had burned into the tensioner. I replaced it but when I started it again the temp stilll went to about 220-225. I noticed the fans didn't come on. When are they suppose to come on. When the AC is ran they work. DO you think the high temp have something to do with the fans not working. do you know what might be the problem. I'm scared cuz i have read all the other forum about how these cars have head problems. please help.

I got a performance muffler from advanced autoparts and put it on my 2000 Toyota Celica Gt. It still has the other stock muffler on it and I put the performance muffler on the end of the pipe in the back of the car. Will it have a rumble and how long does it take to break in?

To me this doesn't make sense but it "must" be for a reasonable reason... I even noticed in ambulances overseas.
Thank you so very much in advance to all of you answering.

I own a 1994 toyota pickup truck.Today I was driving(65-70 mph) in 90 degree weather with the ac on.The gauge went about 1/8" to 3/16"past middle.

The (2-row) radiator (scilla brand) is less than a year old.I just had the fan clutch replaced about two weeks ago.My radiator is full.I figure if it was my thermostat, it would either be stuck shut, which would make it run hot "soon", or stuck open which would keep it from reaching operating temp.

When I took the top off my radiator, it was running over.A "very full" radiator would not casue this problem (would it?).What about a bad radiator cap, what would be the symptoms of that?

I am planning on driving to TX (across AZ and NM-both places can get really hot) in a week.Should I just "bite the bullet" and install a (about 1" thicker) three row radiator(modine, or napa)?

What about flushing the system, adding a 30/70 mix of coolant to water, and then add a coolant additive (like water wetter)?

HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!

I know what I am about to ask may sound stupid but its for safety reasons.

I have replaced the headlight socket on the drivers side. I would like to replace the headlight socket on the passengers side but to do so I must remove the battery.

Now for my question when removing the battery in order to avoid being shocked should I remove the positive or negative first?

Any other information will be greatly appreciated. Also please do not leave any comments about me or my question being stupid.

You wouldn't think that this would be difficult but.... My Ford Ranger 6 cyl, 3 L, has a small 3/4" or so hose coming off the lower radiator hose, besides the large connection to the bottom of the radiator, and the large connection to the engine. Sort of a "y" looking hose. The replacement hoses listed for sale only have the large connections. What is the small branch off the hose for (this hose is original) and what do I need to do to get my hose changed?

Thanks, hope that was halfways clear.... ;)

I know used car dealers usually trade in different cars to have more variety but do they just buy cars too? I'm trying to sell one but I want to try to sell it to a dealer because it seems like I would get paid what it's worth.

So I Called the Dodge Dealership near my place. I asked if they balance the tires after they rotate the tires. They so no they don't and that it's an extra cost. They say it cost 60 bucks to balance it. I want to know if i'm being scamed, because i don't know anything. So usually do they balance your tires after it's rotated?

They say it's a separate charge.

So do you mean to tell me each time you rotate your tires you guys also get it balanced? how much does that cost? $60?

My car only has 3,000 miles. I don't know if i need to balance it. I'm just paranoid that FireStone didn't do a good job.

Normally when they rotate the tires is it nesscary to also balance the tires?

Please help! I was stuck in a bad rain storm yesterday through about 1.5 feet of water and the car stalled. I was able to restart it and drove home about 1 mile away. By the time I got home, the engine starts to knock very loud. The air filter was totally wet and it appeared that some water got into the air intake. The oil appears to be normal, no water. I towed the car to a mechanic and is waiting to be checked. The knocking improves about 30% and the car can now start and run OK .... but the knocking remains. Please give me some advices. Thank you very much in advance.
