Ok, This may be a strange question, but I will go ahead and throw it out there. I plan on tinting the 2 front windows on my 2002 Silverado. I know it is cheap to get just those 2 done, but I can get a roll of Gila tint from Advanced for $9 after their discount, you can’t beat that! Now I have...

Ok, I have a 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 2WD. I have upgraded to newer GMC 20s vs the stock 16"s. I know I need an alignment, but I plan to lower the rear 2" with shackles to level the truck. If I go ahead and get a front end alignment and lower the rear in a few months, will this possibly throw...

Ok guys/gals, I will probably need to put on my flame suit for this. My new to me 2002 White Chevy Silverado has the typical peeling of clear on the hood and roof. The rest of the paint is in great shape. My original plan was to do the Rustoleum roll on job on the hood and roof to protect it...

Ok guys and gals, Here is my new "beater" 2002 Silverado 2WD with 90,000 miles. Purchased from a family that had the father pass away suddenly. Needless to say, he too really good care of it mechanically, but used some harsh cleaners on the wheels/tires. I plan on swapping out the current...

Ok guys, Lately I developed an engine tick in my 2005 Nissan Xterra that is pretty embarrassing. Sounds like it is coming from the intake collector (plenum) area, so I ordered the epoxy and was going to perform the TSB that glues the intake valve into place to keep it from rattling. Upon...

Ok guys and gals. Beginning of the year I leased my wife a new Sonata, sold the 2000 Nissan Frontier and adopted her 2005 Xterra. Since then I have been longing for another truck, especially now that we are finally expecting our first child and I am finishing the closing of the garage for a play...

Ok, I have a 2005 Nissan Xterra, I was standing on the back bumper looking at the very back top of the roof, and noticed that in between the cab and hatch door the paint is starting to peel off and slight surface rust is starting to form. You can’t see this at all opening the hatch, the only way...

Ok, so a little backstory. My 2wd Nissan Xterra has 86,000 miles. The wife got a new car (2013 Sonata), I sold my 2000 Frontier Crew Cab, and inherited the Xterra. After a few odds and ends, and after paying off the Xterra with the Frontier money, I had just enough left over to get the timing...

Ok, come Monday, I am having major work done to my vehicle (2005 Nissan Xterra / 86,000 miles / Auto / 2WD). I am having the timing chains replaced, along with water pump and thermostat while it is opened up. I know this isn’t that many miles, but there is a problem with these engines in the...

Ok, I purchased our 2005 Nissan Xterra at 60,000 miles. I know I should have drain/filled the transmission at that time, but I didn’t. The truck now has 86,000 miles, and is now mine as the wife just bought a new car. I have done the transmission bypass (as these are known for the radiator...

Ok guys, I have a feeling I am going to ramble on a little on this one, so if you get bored easy, leave now :) Ok, first off, a little background, as I have a little problem. I am 26, and have had a total of 11 different vehicles (including motorcycles): In This Order 1989 Isuzu Trooper (POS)...

Ok guys, after finding the sludge in my engine (search post "Possible Sludge" for pics) I am thinking about looking into a used car warranty to help with engine replacement if she decides to give out. Has anyone ever used one of these? If so, which one? They seem hit or miss. So is it even...

Hey guys, I am changing my valve cover gaskets this weekend, and everywhere I read, people use the B12 to help clean the old gasket off, wipe down any light sludge etc. But after looking at Berrymans website, they have many different types. Which one is everyone using for this application?

Hey Guys, I don't check the oil in my push mower enough, I know tisk tisk. I guess since it is a little $100 "Weed Eater" from Wally World so I tend to ignore the maint. Anyways, I checked the oil today before mowing. The good thing is, it has oil, but it doesn't even look like oil, hah. It is...

Ok guys, I recently purchased a 2000 Nissan Frontier 3.3L with 92,000 miles. I never once thought about looking through the oil fill hole BEFORE purchasing a vehicle, but I have, and if what is below the fill hole is any indication, I have some pretty good sludge going on. The previous owner...
