I have a GMC small block, v8 on my boat. In theory, what would happen if I completely plugged the PCV holes on top of the 2 valve covers? The reason I ask is b/c the black tubes that let this pressure out go straight to my carburator, and its fouling up the air filter after every few weeks because its letting out an oily residue - not too bad, but bad enough to clog the filter and make the carb struggle until i clean it. So what would happen if I plug these tubes instead. BTW, there is no PCV valve so to speak, its only a hollow plastic black tube, going from top of valve cover to carburator.

My boyfriend's car's windshield is covered in cracks and for both a birthday and Christmas gift I'd like to either fix it or replace it. It has many cracks running across the top and some radiating from the rear-view mirror. I'm thinking I'm just going to replace it. Is it possible to replace something like that yourself or is it best to take it to a shop? I'm trying to find the most cost-effect way of doing this. If anyone can help me out, let me know. I desperately want to make this as cheap as I can.

Anyone know where I can buy one of those build-yourself carports for my boat. I see people parking their RV's under them sometimes. It would have to stand up to the new england winters.

I'm trying to replace the front brake pads on my care. I took out the old ones and put the new pads in. However, the caliper won't fit over the new pads and won't go all the way down. What should I do? I think there the right pads.

My Toyota 4Runner has 120K miles on it. I get is serviced fairly regularly. It was running fine two weeks ago when I took it to the dealer for a 60K mile service interval, which included "replace transmission fluid" among other things. Oh, by the way, since this was a dealer recommended and provided service, the total bill was $550.
The car had been running fine during the two weeks since the service. Then, last night, I noticed it was sometimes making a funny sound, which sounded like it was maybe coming from the front drive train. It only made the sound occassionaly. I called the dealership, but they said they were in the process of closing for the day. I was driving home on the highway; everything seemed fine and I did not hear the sound.
Then, the AT Fluid Light came on. After a minute, it went off. Then, I noticed I was slowing down and the engine was revving.
So, I had to pull over and get the car towed. I had the car towed to an entirely different Toyota Dealership

I have a 94 Camry. The cover on my glove compartment is pulling away from the rest of the compartment like it doesn't like it anymore and my windshield has several wiper scratches on it. I was looking to replace both the compartment and the windshield. Where can I get this done? How much will it cost? Thanks anyone for answering.

Hello,
Hopefully someone can help plzzz my friend had her car towed for repair the guy looked at it said it would be $1,700 to fix. She told him she didnt have that kind of money right now. The guy went ahead and fixed it without her consent or her signing anything. Now she cant even get her car back is this legal?? I heard that there was a statue that states any repairs over $50 must have a bill of sale signed by both parties. Can someone please try and help find out what she legaly can do just go pick up her car???
