NAPA vs. Autozone vs. O'Reilly... price and quality? by phaeton
Using online catalogues, i've priced out the parts to rebuild the front end on my truck. (In-store pricing might be slightly different) This will mean 2 upper control arm assys, 2 lower ball joints, control arm bushings all around, and inner and outer tie rod ends for both sides. At NAPA, it's...

Engine oil and Sludge by Dennis[_2_]
My wife drives a 2001 Jeep Wrangler six cylinder. We bought it new and it has 74,000 miles. She works 1 1/2 miles from home, so I'd say 70% of the miles are from short trips. I installed new valve lifters this weekend and when I removed the valve cover I was shocked to see how much sludge was...

Unwanted Complexity by Vic Smith
I'm doing the lower intake gasket on my '97 Lumina. 160k miles, and hasn't failed, but since they are known to fail, I'm not taking any chances since I decided to keep it a couple more years, and do the annual Florida trip again. That's about 3K miles total.. Rocker panels starting to rust...

Offboard hybridization by AD[_2_]
A thought occurred to me last night: why do you need to bother with lugging a huge battery onboard when you could just flush the battery and the motor(s) into the floor of a purpose built trailers. This solves the the hard winter starts problem and awd (lack of it) problem for BRZ in winter by...

Tire Pressure Monitor by Luke
I have a 2004 Cadillac CTS-V (w/ Corvette Z06 LS-6 engine). Recently, I had my tires rotated, and now the display for the tire pressure is wrong. It reports the pressure for the back tires as the front tires. The Cadillac dealer wants $15 to "recalibate" the system, but I'd like to do myself....

Highway tailgater and etc - not a car mechanical question by [email protected]

Best MPG : 5-speed vs. auto? by SQ
Assuming an identical car, let's say a 4-cyl Honda or a Subaru or Toyota, which would get better MPG -- one with automatic tranny or 5-speed? I understand that 5 speeds vs. 4 gives a better selection of rpms, meaning at the same speed you can cruise with lower rpms, assuming the same rear axle...

Okay, so I'm a bit ****ed that I let this happen but nonetheless, it happened and there's no way to go back in time to fix it so here's my problem. A couple days ago, I noticed a car alarm going off and it sounded faint so I didn't think much of it. Later when I went out to my car, I noticed that...
