I took my car to the dealer because the battery light went on, so it turns out I need an alternator. The guy said it would all cost 495. I know Im a girl and all, but it shouldnt cost that much.

How much should it really cost and what should I say when I go to get my car? I haven't paid for it yet.

Thanks

Just picked up an 88 Skidoo Stratus. Skis turn and handle bars turn, but the sled stays straight. Asked at a dealer and he said it was the wear rod. It doesnt look like there was any originally. Someone else said the Skegs? I dont know what or even where that would be. I thought this was suppose to be fun, not so much it keeps getting stuck.

It looks like the specs on these cars are impossible.
The mustang says 300 to 0 in 12ft. (WTF)
The old Kitt says 0 to 60 in 0.2 sec. (WTF)

This happened awhile ago and ripped up my serpentine belt and tension pulley, both of which I have replaced but I'm afraid to drive it because I don't want this to happen again and its still not turning. I know that if I keep driving it the friction will destroy it again, until I fix it.

When I first take off the transmission seems to slip and then SLAM into gear. I checked the Trans. fluid level and it's fine. It does this 2-3 times when first taking off then the problem goes away. It's worse when the car is cold.

The KBB on the car is 1600 but, I got into a minor accident and it needs a radiator (which you can get at U Pull It for about $80), a new front bumper and new headlights. Theres also a few other minor things wrong with it such as: the moonroof isnt working and the drivers side window doesnt roll down. It has electric everything , tilt, a cd player, & cruise control. We thought about putting it on Craigslist for a parts car or for a mechanic. What should we put as the asking price? Thank you!

PS. It has a nice engine in it.

My mom has an 89 oldsmobile (not sure what make) that has 4 wheel disc brakes. She had an incident yesterday that has her worried. She was coming to a stop sign when she pressed the brake pedal it made a "woosh" sound & went to the floor. She was able to stop but she had to put all of her weight on the pedal. Does anyone know what could have caused this? I hate going to a garage unprepared.

Thanks

Last night we took our 93 Isuzu Rodeo to the gas station and got gas. When we tried to start it, it just clicked and it wouldn't turn over. So someone cleaned off the cables and connectors and all that stuff, jumped us, and we headed home. The car seemed sluggish and all the gauges were jumping and the radio wouldn't work. There has been a belt squeaking for a week now (figured it was the serpentine). When we got home he turned the car off and then tried to start it again and it would just click. Do you think its the belt, bad battery, or could it be something worse like the alternator?

I'm borrowing my in-law's 99 Ford Windstar and need to install 2 child safety seats in the 2nd row seat. But it seems to me that the seatbelts do not lock, so there is no way to keep the seat installed tightly. In my car that I usually drive, you need to pull the seatbelt all the way out in order for it to "lock".
Any ideas?

Hey new Hummer owners! I just got a new Hummer H2 for Christmas (they had an incredible zero down financing deal!) While driving home, I was stopped at a stop light listening to the new Britney Spears album and some guy shouted “Hey A$$hole! Nice car! You must have SP Syndrome to drive a car like that!” I realize the guy is just jealous of my new Humvie (and I cut off his tiny little Honda Civic a few minutes earlier, damn Jap junk! I only buy USA!) but I don’t know what SP Syndrome is. Does anyone know what SPS is?

I know that the Chevy big block 427 acquired the nickname "rat motor" and that term was used for other bow tie big blocks as well, along with the small blocks being called "mouse motors". So, how is it that this terms came into use?

I just replaced my Head gaskets and I am reassembling the engine. The shop that reconditioned
the heads said the rocker arms are not adjustable and I just need to install the heads. A buddy of mine insists that they need to be adjusted after the install to tighten any that may be tapping.
I am familiar with adjusting them while the engine is running, but my buddy insists there is a way to adjust
them while it is not running! He is strictly a Chevy guy and said he bought a Chevy shop manual that had all the specifications. Anyone familiar with this process?
The engine has hydraulic lifters(I think) and I am using the original push rods in the exact locations.

I signed the original title registration application and found one issued last February. However, I recently did a vehicle background check and found another title # issued or updated in August and I have no information about that transaction. Can their be two title numbers on one car? How can I find out who the car is legally registered to without going to the DMV?
