I know doing so will ruin my credit history but heck, I don't mind with what I'm gonna be saving if I return the car! I'm prepared for the consequences.

My truck just recently started to knock well I wouldnt really say a knock its not detonating or anything, Im pretty sure its my lifters making noise, it only happens on cold starts and goes away after about 30 seconds of running if I turn it on,on a cold morning and dont give it gas,just let it idle for a little I dont hear them making noise and then its good to go, but if i turn it on, on a cold morning and dont let it warm up a few seconds then i hear it making noise now this is my question could it be a lifter problem were I need to replace all the lifters as a reliable source told me that this is common on those engines and all the lifters would need to be replaced OR I also looked up on ALL DATA a TSB that says the seal between the oil pump and the oil pump pickup screen gets cut on these engines which causes oil aeration and thus a lifter knocking sound only on cold starts? How can I confirm which one of these is the problem if any of these is the problem?

I can't go a week without someone right behind having their high beams on. I don't get it? Why do so many people have it on? Is it just bright lights or their high beams?

I live in Northern Indiana and we just had a huge snow storm. This is my first year with a 2001 Z28. I knew it had real wheel drive but I never anticipated how poor camaros are in winter driving. Any tips for improved performance in these icy and snowy conditions for my camaro?

My car keeps dying although I just replaced alternator, battery, and alternator belt. I start it up...it will run for approx. 2 min. then the car stops. I've been told that it could be faulty wirea, a voltage regulator. It's almost as if my alternator isn't getting it's current to my battery. What else could it possibly be? Any ideas??

It has two small dents, but is primered and ready for paint. it does have custom wheels, but im not sure how old. Interior is fine and it has a 350 V8 motor in it, and it runs great. It is a stick-shift. He is asking $1800 for it.

I live in San Francisco and frequently have to park my manual tranmission car on steep hills. I feel as though the parking brake has been loosing its grip because I have to pull it all the way to hold the car. If I park my car in gear, can that be enough to hold it on a steep hill?

I have a 1990 GMC K1500, and for the past week or so, I have had trouble getting my truck started in the AM. The temprature has been in the single digits and teens in the early morning, when I start it up.

Most of the time it was very slow turning over and starting initially. One day last week it didn't start, but was fine after getting a jump. Yesterday, it was dead when I tried to start it, but started immediately after being jumped.

This morning it started to turn over, but died, failed to start when I tried to jump it. Came home from work and it started up instantly. Went out 5 minuets later began to crank, but didn't start. What'g going on?

The lights and other electronic features work, and the lights are not dull, but regular strength. Any advice is helpful

My idiotic Ford-loving friends have recently told me that Dodge will be removing my beloved Viper from production. I, however do not believe it's true, and cannot find an internet source to confirm OR deny this. I'd like to know if this rumor is true.

Ok so I had a problem with my car a few days ago, & I asked a question & now I have another one. Now the right tire won't spin, you can hear it trying to do something it sounds like rattling down there by the (right) tire. I had to put it in neutral and have it pushed into a parking spot cause it won't move. My dad said it is probably the CV Joint completely broke, but I just want some other opinions. I know it needs shocks/struts, because every time I hit the most simple bump it scrapes like you couldn't imagine. But that just started recently too, so I don't know if something happened that made everything break at once? I'm not a bad driver, I'm cautious going over bumps & I'm not a speed demon or anything. It's a '93 Intrepid. Any opinions would be sooooo appreciated. Thanks!!
