Does anyone have any experience with a film product that goes on the plastic headlights? Something that is replaceable as the film wears out and starts to get hazy would be a must. Like an invisible shield film for cell phones. Or maybe there are other ways to keep the lights from turning...

When should I do my very first oil change on the Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine on the Dodge Caravan? Does it come with a special break-in oil from factory that I should run until the recommended OCI occurs?

What is the climate group option on the 2013 Caravans? I was told it gives the rear it's own air vents. Does the rear have no air vents at air and relies on the vents in front unless you get the climate group option? How can someone be comfortable if you have to rely on air blowing all the way...

I just replaced all my rotors and pad on my 04 mazda3. I touched the rotors this morning after a 10 min drive to work and both rear motors are hotter than the fronts. Not a surprise because the mazda3 brakes is rear bias AFAIK. But the on the driver side rear rotor it's hotter than the...

How do you know if you have a seized caliper? When the brakes starts smoking and it overheats and warps the rotor? When the one rotor feels hotter than the others after a drive?

So what's the difference between semi-metallic and ceramic in terms of their performance, durability and affects of rotors that it will be coupled to? I have the EBC Green Stuff pads now.

So I think I have one wrap rotor on the front and one on the back. Instead of replacing both can I just replace one? What about rotors I have from the past for this car that's been stored for over 2 years (upgraded and rotors were good). Do you think I can still use them or would they be too...

Can you have excess grease in caliper pins? Maybe from the previous brake jobs that added up over time? Do you clean out the old grease before putting in the new? What do you guys generally do?

Why? I can't use anything but a sleeve/through the wall unit. They are $200-$300 more compared to a window unit. I almost want to use a portable unit instead of a sleeve. Wouldn't you? I need an ac that's 10,000 btu.

Does anyone have any reasons why this might be a bad move if the 14" will fit on the car? Does the smaller wheel lower the car by any amount? We are talking about 14" winter tires.

I want to get winter tires for a Dodge 98 Avenger. It's the 2.5L V6 version and the standard wheel size is 16". I want to go down a couple sizes if possible because tires are generally cheaper in smaller diameter. I called the dealership they were only able to tell me a wheel size of 14 x 5.5...

Only 10k mi on this set of rotors and it's already warped. I buy good rotors, torque everything every time, don't slam on the brakes and don't find puddle over cold water to drive over when the rotors are red hot. So why is it I have 2 sets of bad rotors over a course of 20k mi? This is a...

I have a Class 1 trailer hitch with a 200lbs tongue weight rating. If I want to make a platform (don't want a trailer with wheels) to use with this hitch how do I know how much weight i can hold. I want this platform to be 5' wide by 3' deep. The deeper it is the less it can hold. Will this...

So after driving over this crater of a pot hole twice, now my car makes this fast squeaking noise at low speed. Especially when I drive over snow covered road the noise is more pronounced. The noise is present from 0 - 20 mph and it squeaks up to 10 times per second so it's really short and...

I have a bottle of ATE Blue that's been opened over 2 months ago. I kept the lid on since it was last used but should I not be using it for refilling now? I am asking because I am trying to bleed the clutch so I need fluid to replace with. At $15 a bottle and it's not the easiest thing to...

I have this weird problem with my windshield since I bought this car 4 years ago. I think the glass is pitted by acid rain or something when it arrived at the dock. Everytime when the glass gets wet it has this hazy looking oily looking film. It makes it very difficult to see through...

On my passenger side I have a tire that's wearing very unevenly compared to the other 3. The inside of this tire, from the last tread block and out to the shoulder, is almost completely worn away. Could this be an alignment issue or just my driving habbit? I don't cross rotate my wheel, just...

My car is making this roaring sound when the car is moving around 30+mph and turning right. The sound is like when you have something spinning but the object isn't balance. The frequency of the noise (how often you can hear it) varies with the speed of the car. What could it be? I damaged that...

I am an idiot because I cross-threaded the oil filter today on a 98 Dodge Avenger 2.5L. As always, I will start the car immediately after the oil change to make sure everything is fine. Boy am I glad I did. I wouldn't have known there was a major leak if I'd just driven off after. After 2...

Those morons at the dealership torqued the flare nut on the brake line so tight I can't remove it. What the ---- do I do? I am already using a flare nut wrench (6 sided I believe) and a ton of Seafoam. I believe the wrench has strip 3 of 8 sides on the flare nut. Mad I want to put the stainless...
