Tried Advanced Auto and PepBoys. No luck. The only places I can find are online and I need my car before next week. I have researched up on the best alternatives (probably Optima & Odyssey) and they are just too expensive.

Also would like to buy this locally for the piece of mind of being able to replace it immediately.

Estimates are coming in between $800.00 to $1000.00. How hard of a job is this to do on your own? Can the heater core be bypassed and if it can will it do any damage to the engine? I am really tight on cash and would rather try to fix this on my own considering what the mechanics are quoting. HELP!!

The air blows out great but the air does not get hot or cold. The heater when turned on makes all the right sounds like the switching over from normal to heat but it never gets hot. same with the a/c it never gets any colder.

I am supposed to change the oil in my car every 3 months or 1000 miles. (as much as I hate) I could not follow that routine. Sometimes I change after 2000+ miles or after like 6-8 months according to my convenience. In know this is bad and will affect the gas mileage, etc. what are the others ? Once I change the oil do the ill effects caused due to my tardiness vanish OR is there any Long term damage to the car.. Advance thanks

I have been a mechanic professionally for over 35 years but always worked with my father since I was old enough to pronounce the word! I am a "mechanic" not a "parts replacer" like so many of these guys I see! Does "certified" change that somehow? I've seen "certified" mechanics that don't know if they're on foot or horseback! Must just be an "EGO" thing I would assume! A "mechanic" can diagnose the problem and install the correct part making the repair. A "parts replacer" just keeps putting parts in until he/she accidently corrects the problem but bankrupts the customers bank account! That's the difference and "mechanics in my opinion are a rare find these days!

got a high mileage truck that has had a history of the overdrive gear nut backing off. finally tack welded it to the shaft and it lasted a year.now it won't come out of overdrive-was shifting perfectly till then.- if I can grind the tacks off and get the nut backed off-what is the most likely cause of it not shifting out of overdrive? internal in the transmission or in the overdrive itself which is in the tailhousing section?

After a few goes, the smoke started to clear a bit, but it was pretty bad on the first couple of goes. What's your diagnosis?

This is on a diesel electricity generator (big). We tested it on load, but not full load (maybe 1/3).

The smoke is coming from the correct place of course (the exhaust)
