A small repair shop I use for all my repairs tried to replace my heater core on my 1995 Ford F-150 pickup truck, the cable controlling heater door needs a special tool D91T-18532-A and we can not find or ford dealers will not sale us tool. Need way around this or way of getting tool. It releases the cable so the core can be removed and replaced.

Today I had to make a hard tire screeching stop to avoid a rear end collision. About an hour later I was on my way to a friends house I heard hissing from my brake pedal when I applied pressure. At first there was no problem but I realized that more and more it was getting harder to stop when it eventually came to a point where (after I decided to cancel and come back home) the only way my truck would stop was when I applied a great amount of pressure since the pedal was hard to push down. Thankfully I made it home but I was wondering what the problem could be and if it's something I could fix on my own and if not would this be a big repair since I have little money to work with here.

I have a 2000 Toyota Solara SLE, w/ daytime running lights. Recently in a front end accident, the shopped fixed the damage. But when I got it back, I pressed the alarm arm/disarm button.....and my lights didnt flash. Later on (after I was pulled over and recieved a ticket) the police officer pointed out my tailights (red) were out. I walked around the car, and the front signal lights were out too.

But the signal lights (front and rear) both work when signaling, just not while driving. Same goes for the brake light, that works, but isn't on while driving.

Any experts on here with electrical knowledge or similar problem?

I'm scheduled to take the car back to the shop, but that's a week away, and Im trying to resolve the problem before that, so I dont get another ticket. Thanks.

Are they just resistors tied into an electrical line of some sort?

What do they technically do? are they harmfull to a vehicle? Can on "brand" be better than another, regarding anything other than packaging?

as an engineer and a preventative maintenance freak i have become a firm believer in the use of synthetic lubricants. my question is has anyone tried royal purple and is it worth the 6 bucks a quart vs mobil ones 4.5 bucks a quart?? royal purple makes some pretty big claims in their advertisement sheet. does any of them hold water or are they just a gimic?? tell me your real world results and dont be afraid to get technical with this skeptical engineer!!!!!

When I insert my key into the ignition, I can turn it to accessory and all my lights and radio come on and my steering wheel unlocks. but then when I try to turn it further to start the engine, it seems like it is locked and won't allow me to turn it any further. sometimes it will turn and when it does it starts right up, but other times it seems like there is something jamming it or something, not allowing it to turn any further. please, any help with this is much appreciated. It's a 99 sunfire by the way.

I have a 97 ford taurus. The heat dosent work that much. When i turn it on it blows warm air out but then cools off after a minute or so. When the car is in park it seems to blow warmer air then when im driving and wont get cold. If i leave it on all the time it will just blow cold air. What is wrong and how much will it cost to get fixed.

I've been washing by hand/power wash, but it takes time and effort. Will I ruin the seal or the rag top itself if I take a car through an automatic wash.

The shackle for my leaf spring rusted away on my 96 Ford Explorer (thanks road salt!). Now the spring is resting on the frame and I can't get the frame high enough to get seperation. I already had to cut out the old shackle bolts with my angle grinder. The bolts connecting the u-bolt are rusted firmly in place. Tried WD-40 and others to release. Isn't going to happen. Any help?
