I'm looking at this used truck. It's a crewcab with a long bed. I just want the biggest all terrain tires on it that would fit without rubbing.

This is a 92 buick lasbare.I was told it needed a break booster and master cylinder. The car is now starting to smoke.Break fluid keeps on going out. I was about to take it to the shop but smoke is coming out even though I put the break fluid in it. So I am kind of scared to drive it to the shop. The breaks work but it seem like it do not want to stop. I here air evertime I press the break what is wrong. I do not want the people at the car shop to get over on me .

Its a 2000 ford ranger with a 2.5L fuel injected motor. Very sudden jerkey shutoffs while driving. Every once in a while it will start go to a slightly high idel then the idel breaks up and she shuts down. I had a friend say it may be a fuel pump is this possable ? or any other ideas of what could be wrong

I pulled over after I saw a small amount of smoke, under my hood. I started the car again, drove about one/two blocks before the car slowed to a coasting speed and no matter how much I pushed on the gas, the car did not accerlerate. I left it parked for a few hours, returned and turned it on. I shifted into drive, pushed on the gas, and the car didn't move at all. I looked under the car and saw a leak. I'm worried it's the transmission, but could it just be a hose?

I've been noticing an intermittent loud "hum" from the rear of the vehicle, but the operation of the vehicle seemed unaffected. Yesterday, the vehicle would not start. It would crank, but wouldn't start. This was accompanied by the aforementioned "hum" from the rear of the Jeep. Later on the Jeep did start, but I'm wondering if a faulty fuel pump is the cause of the noise and the inability to start the vehicle.

If so, does replacing the pump require removal of the fuel tank? Any tips on doing this? It seems like a total pain in the rump and anything that would make it easier would be appreciated. Thanks!

If yes, what engines are compatible and at what price?

Thanks

I own a Mazda Sting 130 hatchback. It's a 2001 Model. I was recently in an accident and just got the car back from the panelbeaters. I'm not sure if the problem existed before the accident because I only had the car for a month before the accident and I never noticed it. It also sometimes makes the splashing noise when I'm just driving. I've noticed that if I've been driving for a while it usually stops

My husband drives an older Toyota 4Runner. Lately, he has been having a problem with getting oil into his coolant. At the shop, they did a full system flush and found nothing. They put pressure on the radiator and found no leaks. The head gaskets are fine. The leak is in only one direction ---> from the engine to the radiator (which I guess doesn't make any sense, because it should be going both ways). Everyone is baffled by this problem, even the mechanics, and can't figure out how he is getting oil into his coolant without coolant getting into his engine or leaking. Has anyone out there had a similar problem and if so, what was the cause? Or does anyone have any legitimate ideas? He just replaced the head gasket...that is not the problem! Professional mechanics have looked at this every which way and can't figure it out! Only serious answers please!

Is this basically time for a new gear box or can something be done cheaper or simpler?

Any advice welcome!!!

I bought a 2004 Wrangler Rubicon on a whim (an error on the website saved me $1000!) I then started doing research and realized that Jeep changed the transmission in 2005 from a 5-speed to a 6-speed. In my 5-speed, 1st gear is WAY too low for street driving, so I start from 2nd, which is too high, and I'm burning my clutch. I want to replace it with a 2005 manual transmission, which has a lower 1st gear, but also a lower 2nd, which will give me a better "street start" 1st gear, and I will still have 5 effective gears.
My basic question is: since the engine is the same 4.0L I-6, will the new transmission bolt directly onto the engine, or are they incompatible?
(I believe I gave enough information, but I will supply more if it is needed)

Should I try adjusting idle speed or go right for choke pull off. Also would both problems be related or two different carb problems?
