My son’s 1996 Pontiac Firebird needs a rebuilt transmission, which is covered under our after-market warranty. However, the shop is recommending that we pay out of pocket for a new transmission cooler and a cooling system flush, which are not covered. Are these necessary?
The other day I was driving my 1987 Dodge Dakota and all of a sudden smoke came out from under the hood. Then I popped the hood and realized it was antifreeze going on the exhaust manifold and it looks like its coming from the water pump or the head gasket.
I have a 1995 Toyota Camry that I acquired from someone else. I have no idea when the car had been maintained. But I was told by a mechanic that at this point, since the car has 180,000 miles and the oils have not been changed regularly besides the oil changes do not change them now because if it is replaced, the car will not function properly and it will cause major problems.
I am about to buy another car. I found a steal, I thought in a 2002 Lexus ES300 with approximately 77500 miles. It gave off heavy exhaust fumes the first time I cranked it and today when I cranked it again at the dealership, it gave off some profuse exhaust fumes but then in both situations it subsided and virtually went away.
My 1995 Ford Contour front end shakes whenever weight is relieved of the front end. I notice this only when coming over a hill or small bridge that causes the tires to have the least weight on them. It does it on little valleys in the road as well.
My 1992 Chevy Step Van P-30 5.7L Auto Trans AC engine will not reach operating temperature. I have already changed thermostat. 195 Stant Superstat. Coolant condition is ok. I have checked fan clutch turned freely engine cold and warm. No codes stored, only 12 displays.
I have a Mitsubishi Montero sport, the alternator is under the front right side of the motor. When I changed the alternator, I notice oil on it and maybe possible inside of it. If oil get in the alternator would this cause it to fail?
In my 1999 Oldsmobile Alero for the second time we disconnected the battery to clean terminals, and the fuel gauge spun counterclockwise, is stuck against the full pin, and will not reset.
My 1999 Ford Explorer XL 6 cylinder is having an electrical problem that appears to be killing my alternator. About a year ago, I had to replace a 175-amp fuse that is inline with my battery and alternator. Everything has been fine until recently, when I got in my truck one night and noticed my dash lights going dim and my battery indicator was lit.
