Please only answer this if you know for sure as this is a rather large purchase. I have a 2004 Chevrolet 2500HD 4x4 LT Diesel fully loaded and wish to purchase a remote starter but haven't the faintest idea what to look for and what to look out for. I only know there are specific starters for diesels and definitely want a system allowing me to operate the climate control at startup and have all the functions of my keyless remote. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What are the effects of a faulty ignition advance unit on a single cylinder engine? Would it explain a lack of power that gets worse as revs increase and a rich condition (black smoke, etc), while idle is perfect? Would it stop the engine from reaching max revs under no load?

I am having problems with a single cylinder bike engine that I rebuilt. The mark on the cam will not line up when crank is at TDC. it isn't a lot out, and moving a tooth makes it a lot worse.. how critical is this? I havent measured it but i would guess it is a degree or 2 out. I am guessing someone skimmed the head previously or something and it isn't a big deal but would like conformation from somebody who knows!

Me and some friends were driving and we hit a deer at 30mph and it was like flipping on the front of our van. It hit the ground hard after that! I was wondering if you think it died? I said it prolly did but my bf thinks it lived! What do you think?

Okay so I have a sierra right now, and am upgradaing to either:
-Range Rover
-Lexus R(x?)350
-Dodge durango (dont like the interior much)
-Cadillac escalade EXT
-Infiniti G35 coupe
-Nissan titan
-Toyota sequia (havent done much research on this, but is nice appearance wise)

I wanted to know which is best overall, I want something that gets decent gas mileage, is known for good customer service, and is good under the hood and all that technical stuff.. I preffer an suv, I have a thing where I like being up higher than people but the G35 is the exception! Any suggestions let me know, I'm looking in the 15-23k range

Ok My first choice is a limited edition 87 mustang Maclaren. Its a V8 and is automatic.
I currently have 2000$ to buy a car...and then use my job to buy the rest of whatever i need.

It will sell for about 1500$ The interior is pretty bad..the seats are ripped and the back part of the top is messed up. its been sitting there for a year, but its a really rare car and has a nice body kit. its like number 387 out of 500
I would have to fix this one up total cost in the long run would be $3500+

My mechanic convinced me to buy a 1991 Mercury 60 HP long shaft ELPTO for my 24ft pontoon that he had in his shop and wanted to rebuild. He found out it was really a 1990 when he tried to get a rebuilt head but no one rebuilds them anymore. I paid him for parts up front, so he didn't want to back out on the deal. Only the bottom cylinder was badly damaged and he did get a piston from Mercury. After 3 weeks of waiting, he got the head ground down and said it looks great. Then he found a hair-line crack in a valve and needed a few other not-available parts which have taken another couple of weeks to find, plus more and more and more excuses. I'm in Minnesota, so the season ended last week. I agreed to buy the motor way back back on Aug 26th with his estimate that it would take about 1-2 weeks. I still have no motor. Today is October 13 and my boat should be in storage by now. How much should I have paid him for this motor and do I have grounds to demand my money back?

I mean where will it end? I don't know HOW many big rig accidents in the past month since they have started letting the Mexican Truckers here into the US.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071014/ap_on_re_us/truck_pileup

I am using facts when I say Mexican trucks aren't safe. Not only that, but it doesn't matter if the trucks are or aren't safe, if the person behind the wheel can't drive well and can't read English.

Notice that the nationality of all of these "Accidents" aren't released in the article.

No, I am not saying that American Truckers can't be in accidents, but USUALLY they get in accidents when the weather is bad or some unforeseen reason causes them to get into an accident...not just running off of the road or going off of a bridge like happened a couple weeks ago. Word to note that all these accidents happened in Arizona, California, Florida and Texas.

I hear the click when the radio shuts off and the lights flash. A few seconds later the radio comes back on. It stops after you close the door. The DIC flashes all the time periodically but it still works. The bulbs were burned out when I bought it. This may have caused that.

The real question is can it be done without pulling the engine. I appear to have a pretty good leak in the rear of the engine, the mechanic said it was the freeze plug.
