I have a 93 for aerostar van and I've replaced the battery with a new one. But the battery keeps going dead. The lights get dimmer and dimmer and then it just shuts off. What could be the problem?

Bought a 2004 Duramax Diesel, now on our 4th set of fuel injectors, no one seems to know they keep failing and GM just keeps replacing them! Now we are nearing the end of our warranty and I just know we are going to have to pick up the 3-4 thousand dollar tab next time! When I asked the GM dealership they assured me that this TSB applies to my particular vehicle, but when questioned in an arbitration hearing the GM rep Mr McWhorter denied it's very existence, after the hearing I went and was able to obtain it from a local dealer! Why is there selective compliance to this TSB. They know they have problem with this particular engine, why would they try to purposely deceive me?

Say there is an accident involving a motorcycle and a car. The person in the motorcycle is badly injured how much will liability insurance cover? The insurance would be from the person responsalbe for the accident this case the person in the car. Would there be a big difference if you have full cover isurance?

I pulled my boat over a crappy road and it took a chunk out of one of the blades on the 3 bladed prop. It is about 2-3 inches long and in the shape of a half moon. It is a mastercraft boat and the propellor is located under the boat. Can driving it like this result in bad things? What should i expect to happen/feel if i were to take it out to the lake like this? thanks!

I was involved in an accident yesterday. Nationwide insurance is saying they never received my payment, even though I have receipts. Their position is that they will not settle my claim. What agency can I go to in order to make them honor the policy?

My heater wasn't working and I took it to the shop. They said the only thing they could find wrong was I was low on fluid so I should check it, but I can't seem to figure out how to do that.

So.. the plan would be a cruise ship stocked with tons of drugs IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS.. where people would come out to take vacations. It would be called the Drug Boat and we would ferry passengers and supplies from all over to the Drug Boat for vacations. We could also make all the illegal stuff like gamling and protitution avalible on this boat as well.

Of course the boat wouuld only ever come into harbor when it needed repairs since it would have to dump all the drugs and stop the illicit activity when it came into port to abide by the law... but at that point there would be nothing to arrest anyone for.

I know this is silly but tell me why this wouldn't work?

I'm wondering what kind of machine most brake specialty shops use. I'd guess they use whatever is fastest. Is it easier to set up an on-car lathe or to the remove the rotor?

My '03 Dodge Grand Caravan (v-6) has developed an intemittent loud humming sound, mostly as I turn. It sounds like it's coming from the drivers' side front or even the steering column.

The mechanic found nothing visable. The cv joints look fine.

Any ideas I can bring to the mechanic to check for?
