Been there. Done that too.

I went through it a couple years ago. It helped some. I was born with my nose crooked a little. I can breathe through my nose better but not completely. As long as I don't wear a dusk mask I seem to be O.K. Never did like painting cars for that reason.

Keith,I will try your idea with the sharp knife and see what happens. There is no way I can go 10,000 miles like Trasko says I should.

I didn't see anything on the screen. I didn't cut them apart.I know I should have. I don't see how any kind of crud could go through a Trasko filter. My oil shouldn't have gotten black. The Trasko didn't make any difference at all as far as the color of the oil is concerned. I have put on three...

I have a 1997 Ford F150, 4.2.engine. I put a Trasko on so I wouldn't hsve to fool with hoses. I can't tell any difference in it than a regular filter. I am using Schaeffer Supreme 7000 10w30 oil. I put in a Trasko filter when I changed the oil, then I changed the trasko filter "only" again at...

Schaeffer

Yes, Actually 4, Fuel, Oil, Temp., and Volts.

I repeat>there is no voltage limiter on a Chevrolet. The same wire, I think it is pink runs from the guage fuse and feeds all three sensors. Try running another ground to the dash. One of the printed circuit screws should be a ground screw.

It dont have a voltage limiter like Fords. The voltage limiter is part of the guage. 14.2 volts sounds about right. Maybe the temperature sensor is bad. If it is a 1988 it could probably use an oil and temp. sensor.

Where can I find VSOT? I have been to Auto Zone, Walmart, Meiger, Advance Auto, Napa. Haven't been to Pep Boys yet.

With that many miles you probably need a oil pressure sensor. Or hook up a mechanical guage to see what your true pressure is.

We have about 18 cavaliers where I work that we use to deliver newspapers. Sometimes it easier just to take the right front wheel off and reach in with your left arm, or like someone said do it from the top.

Lone Ranger, I changed the mass air flow sensor and the check engine light has been out for 3 days now. I just wanted to thank you for your suggestion anyway. The reason I tried the MAF sensor was I had these codes once before when I put a MAF sensor in backwards on another truck. I work in a...

At work we have a 99 P40 Chevy Step Van with Codes 172,175 and 1639.I know 172 and 175 mean it is running to rich, but what about 1639. Anyone have any ideas what would cause these 3 codes. Any ideas would be greatly apreciated. All we have is a cheap Auto Zone code scanner.

I AGREE WITH MOST OF THE OTHER GUYS ON HERE BUT I WOULD STILL ALIGN IT UP MYSELF BEFORE I TOOK IT TO SOMEPLACE TO HAVE IT DONE. THAT WAY YOU CAN AT LEAST TELL IF THEY DID SOMETHING. SOMETIMES AS LONG AS IT IS WITHIN FACTORY SPECS THAT IS ALL THEY CARE AND FACTORY SPECS ARE TO LENIANT SOMETIMES...
