Unable to Tighten GM Side Mount Battery Terminal by KC[_2_]
The car is a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass with the 3.4L DOHC engine. The negative battery cable terminal will not get very tight when attached to the battery. I can snug it up to where it just begins to get tight, but that is as much as I can get out of it. It feels as though there is not enough depth...

How hard is it to replace a clutch in a 5-speed manual transmission? by Chaya Eve
How hard is it to replace a clutch in a 5-speed manual transmission? I have never done it, but it's generally cheaper to buy the tools and do it yourself than to pay someone else. Plus you generally get better parts. I've never done a clutch. This is a Toyota 4Runner 1998 2WD with the W59...

Which pad is "better?" Ceramic or semi-metallic? by Nate Nagel[_2_]
Looking for experiences... Used ceramic on last brake job and am very happy with them. Need to buy brakes for another vehicle tomorrow, and when I called the parts store the guy said that semi-metallic were noisier and dustier but "would handle the heat better" if I were to use a vehicle for...

Chevy small block oil leak by Jonathan Ward
This is really exasperating, and I need some fresh ideas. I did a top-end rebuild on a Chevy 350 that's in a 1984 K-20 truck I recently bought. It had a pretty good oil leak at the rear of the engine, so last weekend I dropped the oil pan, cleaned everything out, and installed a new rear main...

Surprising increase in truck MPG by Ignoramus15242
I have a Chevy Silverado pickup that is by now about 18 months old. I was never able to get more that about 220 miles out of a 22 gallon tank of gas, sometimes even less. However, the last three refills, gave me 280, 266, and 283 miles per refill. (I usually run until my tanks gets fully empty,...

1986 Toyota pickup - sudden idle problems by [email protected]
I was performing the 90K mile maintenance on my 1986 Toyota pickup, and decided to run some Sea Foam through it just to be sure everything was clean. I poured about 1/4 of the can slowly into the carburetor of the warmed up (and running) engine. It then coughed, backfired through the carburetor,...

Can you teach me more about lug bolts & related tire tools? by ultred ragnusen
Can you teach me more about lug bolts & related tire tools on this vehicle whose tires I rotated today and which I plan on rotating every 4K miles (6K km). First question is what is the practical difference between these three 21mm (13/16ths) "sockets" for the lug bolts on the car I was working on...

Hybrid car cost of ownership by Tom Del Rosso
Besides higher mileage I suspect there must be hidden costs or else there would be hybrids on dealers' floors. Is there a significant cost due to replacing batteries or something? Or are they just not ready for primetime? -- Reply in group, but if emailing add 2 more zeros and remove the...

Brake shake with freshly machined rotors? by Nate Nagel[_2_]
Hi all, got a bit of a puzzlement. Ever since I've had it, my '08 Impala has had a pronounced steering shimmy under braking - the harder you brake, the more the wheel shakes back and forth. I finally took it in for its first service in my care today, and asked them to balance and rotate the...

Infiniti Q45 oil pan removal procedure by Miki
The first step in the service manual says: "Remove engine." You may not have to remove it, you could probably jack it up. You would likely have to lift it until it's against the firewall, because the pan needs quite a few inches of drop-down before it'll clear the crank counterweights.

no lube on auto fasteners? by [email protected]
