Cars & Transportation - 27 December 2007

Lately when I drive my van a 1995 dodge ram 2500 when I have my foot on the gas oil pressure is fine. As soon as it idles I see the oil pressure start dropping almost a line on the gauge. I just topped up the oil the other day so now its full it wasn't to far from being full and still in the safe range. If my oil pump was going though would the pressure ever drop all the way and then go back up? And if it needs replaced how much would I be looking at. Could I just need a lighter weight of oil currently using 10W40 with almost 153000 miles on the engine. Thanks in advance.

Why would the trucks need electrical power to de-ice? They were F-450's with fire engine type pumper and cherry picker bucket. Do they spray an electrically charged solution so they attract ionically to the plane? When GRR claimed the trucks lost power during an electrical outage it seemed like BS to me. They never announce that there is a union slow down over holiday wages and fringe benefits. It is always some safety or practical reason that nobody could complain about.

we have full cover comercial on our f150, last month we drove to a tree, the insurance company sayed that they will fixed, we drop the truck off on progressive repair center because they sayed that will be quicker and better, they give us the truck back yesterday, and we find out that de headlights dont match, the trim around the front grill is after market and does not look quite the same, but the worst part is that the truck is pulling to the left, so they did not fix the truck, only the body shop and partially... now we went to made the alignment and on tire kingdom said that the truck direction need to be fixed, so progressive did not touch that, on the meantime, we are losing work because we dont have the truck runnig good,(my boyfriend is a PI so he need to have the truck in perfect runnig conditions..) what we can do to push the company to do the right thing and dont take more time?

I used the microtex microfiber 3 pack from walmart with some water and besides it scratching my chrome it just kept spreading the dust around the rims making it almost impossible to remove it all.
What fabric will work best to not scratch and dust these chrome rims with just water for storing them in the winter preferrably something that can be found in common stores.

We went to a dealership and met with the sales manager, we made the deal and were to come back the following morning sign the papers. We had agreed on the price the trade in was done and the finance was already approved. When we went back to sign the paperwork and pick up the truck, the owner has informed us that the sales manager has left (with no warning - was not fired) and that there is no paperwork on the deal. Meanwhile the sales agent that came in at the end of the deal to handle the paperwork and transaction, all of a sudden does not remember all the aspects of the deal and no one can find any paperwork? Do we have a leg to stand on? Help

I just turned 18 and have had my learners permit for over a year. I have made an effort to get the state required 40 hours of behind the wheel time with an adult driver and only have about 4 hours. Every time I ask my parents to let me drive so I can get some hours they either get an attitude with me or tell me no. Most of the time I go out it is with my mom, and she always says that she doesn’t ride with "rookies" and to ask my dad, but when I ask him he is always doing something or doesn’t have the time. I am starting to get fed up with this situation because lots of people that got their learners permits after I did have their licenses’ and cars while I have neither, and most of the time when I need a ride home from school I have to bum one off them. My parents keep telling me that driving is a major responsibility and I understand that. I would never play around with a car. Does anyone have any ideas about how I should approach this situation?

The specs on both look good, Astra is by far the sexier car but I've heard they're not as reliable as the Toyota...Need some advice from owners of both preferably.

Accidentally , I poured one bottle 12OZ of Power Steering fluid(oily) into gas tank (half filled ) in my 1999 Toyota Sienna Van.... 6 cylinder engine.
What is a proper remedy:
Shall I fill it with more gas and pour a bottle of Lucas injector cleaner or Marvel mystery oil into gasoline or do I have to get it drained completely at a high cost.

I would really appreciate it if airline pilots would answer this or someone who is really into FSX. Ok first of all, what is the "Course" because I noticed that button and how is it different from the Heading. My next question deals with approaches. What is ILS and how does it work. In the GPS you can set up the approach. What is NDB (I don't know if thats right) and what are Vectors and GPS approaches. Could you also explain what VORs are? I know that is a lot of questions but that's why I came on Yahoo! Answers. Thanks.

Last year I was in an accident where I was stopped at an intersection and someone was hit broadside as he turned by a woman who ran the red light and his car flew into the front of me. I called the insurance company and they went through with everything and they said it was fine they had the police report I was not at fault, didn't have to pay a deductible or anything and everything was fixed.

I'm looking at having to get my own policy sometime soon here and I was talking to this guy at a company and he was trying to tell me that if I've been involved in any accident no matter what I have to disclose that and it will certainly lead to me receiving a quote of higher rates.

Is he full of it or can they actually penalize me for having been in an accident which was not my fault, the police report confirms that, and it was the other driver's insurance who paid for everything?

Thanks
