Maintenance & Repairs - October 2006

I was off-roading with some friends and had some body damage in two places. i can get to the inside, and just want to "press" out the body panel to more or less like they were. then touch up, clean up, clear coat etc...i know it wont' look like before, but oh well.

my question is...what tool should i use? a rubber mallet on the inside? i don't think a regular metal hammer is a good idea, seems like it might damage the panels even more.

I just replaced all four tires with brand new ones, and have had 4 valve stems go bad (two in the same tire) in less than 2 months of use. The technician @ Discount Tire says it's because there's Fix-A-Flat on the rims (I had used it on my last set, because I was trying to get more use out of them before swapping them out).

I guess I'm just perplexed how the Fix-A-Flat is causing the valve stems to go bad.

Also wondering why they didn't remove the Fix-A-Flat before putting on the new tires.

Isn't it a polymer than becomes more like a solid after it's put into the tire?

Any suggestions, thoughts, help in understanding, etc. would be MOSTappreciated!

The mechanic has a small shop, and his equipment is good, but can not narrow down the specific problem . I have called a few shops locally and most say the O2 censor and some say it could be something to do with the spark plugs. Who do we believe and does anyone have experience with this.

Car is a 1996 Chrysler LHS.

It seems that when I make left turns in my vehicle that involve a slight bump it makes the vehicle have a metallic popping noise. I am unsure if it might br a strut or the axle having a problem. It might be a Brake Pad but I a rather ignorant on how these things work and was looking for some advice on it

I can hear the 4wd engage when I hit hi 4wd. But when I hit low it just keeps blinking. No sound or anything. I haven't owned the truck long so haven't had the opportunity to use it off road as of yet. The past 4wd's I have owned haven't had this problem.

The EATX fuse, 20A, keeps blowing when I attempt to start the vehicle. I can replace it and it may work for several times and then again it may blow on the next turn of the ignition key.
Any ideas on where to start the diagnosis and what components may be contributing to the problem?
What to have an idea before I take it in for repair.
