General RT43’s have been good tires on my Pontiac G5 GT except for one thing. They pick up Nails and Screws like a Magnet! All four tires have had to have Tire Plugs put in them. Six plugs total in 30,000 miles.

It’s possible that your aft oxygen sensor is getting fouled by “THC” in the exhaust. Install a couple of these (Dorman 42009) on your aft oxygen sensor and your “Mary Jane” code could disappear.

It’s the Woman’s fault for buying the property in the first place! If Werner trucking can be sued for getting hit head on by an out of control driver crossing the centerline, then this is inline with the new “Liability” line of thought:)

AMOCO Ultimate Synthetic 20W-50. Good stuff! You could use it in almost everything. Cars,Trucks,Motorcycles, etc. Especially Motorcycles. It didn’t have the “WET” clutch issues other synthetics had at time. It was only available here in Texas at Target stores. At least that was only place I...

Be careful. My post about this entirely Hyundai built ship was deleted. I guess it is still OK to hammer Boeing, Chrysler, Ford, etc. all the time though.

I thought this was a standard "common" repair for Hyundai engines?

On the "GM" vehicles I've owned particularly pickups, they have always made a "whirring" noise when in operation. The original GM pumps went well over 200,000 plus before they quit. Now the aftermarket ones that I have bought that's a different story. They can be hit or miss in longevity sometimes.

Here are some exhaust “repairs” using mild steel sheet metal and sheet metal screws from Home Depot. Make sure you use High Temperature sealant if you try this repair route.

Why can't they bring pick up trucks back down to reasonable ride heights or design them like this?

1999 Mazda Protege ES and 2007 GMC Canyon SLE. After taking these photos, a through interior cleaning is in order!

The lower hinges-spring mechanism could have been completely missing and the door would probably never open even under pressurization. Any problems with the two upper fittings and bolts and the door is going bye-bye! This design is really not a “plug” door.

If these TWO safety bolts were missing, the door would have been able to slide up off the stops and blow out.

When Worlds Collide. I always liked the spaceship with a single fuel gauge:)

I owned a 1987 Mazda B2000 that had TWO "alignment" screws on the rear brake drums. This one shop I took it to for new tires did a "FREE" brake inspection and didn't reinstall those screws. My rear brakes started "clanking" making all sorts of noises. Only reinstalling those screws made the...

Maybe wrong oil viscosity was put in? I once accidently put 4 Quarts of FRAM 5W-20 instead of FRAM 5W-30 into my GMC Canyon during an oil change. When the weather got hot, I started getting a Low Oil Pressure warning at idle. Somehow by changing the oil filter(different brand) it stopped. I...
