I have a large number of duplicate image and audio files on my PC and I was wondering what the best duplicate file detector is. I would like one that compares image files so that a larger high resolution file is saved and a small low resolution duplicate is deleted. Thanks in advance!

Can anyone here tell me what the best serpentine belt tensioners are? I got one recently the felt really cheaply made because I was in a hurry, and wondered who made the best.

What cars are popular in nations that don't have full line auto makers?

Can you guys name a few that you remember well? Here is what I remember best: 1985-1988 Nissan Maxima. It had a voice chip, and wireframe grid backgrounds on all the gauge clusters. The voice chip sounded human. My mom had one. 1984-1988 Nissan 300ZX: It had a voice chip, wireframe graphics on...

My mother's 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee is starting to develop P/S pump noise. The fluid level is okay. I am wondering: 1. Is there any additive you guys like to use to quiet down a noisy pump. 2. When the pump has to be replaced, what company makes the best remanufactured pumps? Mom plans to keep...

Recently I got a new 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Sportback, and I changed out the PSF for Royal Purple synthetic PSF with about 1200 miles on the odometer. I was wondering if anyone else ever replaced PSF on a new car and if it extended the life of their power steering system.

I have a 2003 Saturn ION. Recently the fuel gauge got stuck, so I bought a used cluster from a junkyard. That solved the stuck fuel gauge problem, but every time I start the car, a "SERVICE VEHICLE" warning appears in the odometer, which never happened with the old cluster. I pushed the reset...

I live in the USA, and I was told that at one time, people who worked on foreign cars were considered specialists. I was born in 1984 and will be 25 this May. By the time I got into auto repair in 1999, people worked on American cars, and worked on Asian imports, and often worked on certain...

Anybody know of a brake drum micrometer that doesn't come from China? Analog or digital is fine with me. It seems like every digital micrometer I see has the same electronic readout that comes from China, and never can take an accurate measurement.

A 2008 Dodge Ram Cummins Turbo Diesel came into our shop, and the driver said it was time for an oil change. My boss said he was going to order some Rotella oil. I said "We have dozens of Pennzoil CJ-4 15w40 oil in the supply room. Why can't we use that?" The boss told me that the Pennzoil...

My mom's 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee calls for this stuff, so I researched it online. All I found is that it is specially designed for the new rack and pinion steering systems, and is suitable for older Mopar systems that use PSF. I just want to know if this stuff is really special, or if there is...

Just a few hours ago, I used the turkey baster method to get the old "Dexron type ATF" that was factory fill in my friend's 2005 Scion TC. The 48,000 mile oil formed deposits that were clinging to the reservoir and dipstick. The car does steer a little smoother, but that is about it. I'm...

My ION 5AT said that the factory ATF is good for 100,000 miles, and the "dipstick" is sealed in shut. Not believing it, I had it replaced with Royal Purple, and Ever Wear HFM additive at 20,000 miles, and the factory fill was totally burnt despite careful driving. Now at 50,000 miles, I want to...

I once thought that if you bought an OEM's brand of filter "AC Delco, Motorcraft, Denso, ETC) That the manufacturer of the new cars would sell the filters with a minimal markup and high standards because they want their cars to last. Is this just a crazy idea, or does anybody have evidence to...

My dad bought a Pontiac G6 a year ago, and I saw that the coolant jug was filled with pink stuff, and it stated to use Dexcool. I thought all Dexcool was orange in color, as it was in my 2003 Saturn ION. Has something serious changed? Does new ACDelco coolant also come dyed pink?
