I have a '98 Ford Explorer XLT (5.0 V8). I just replaced the steering rack because it was leaking like a sieve. The steering also pulsated some during turns, but I figured one thing at a time.... So, now I have the new rack in, and I started the engine with the front wheels up to help finish...

OK, got to ask. I've got most of it worked out but can't get the last mount off- the lower one at the spindle(?) which also holds the bracket that retains the upper arms of the "L" spring assembly.

My 1996 Chevy pickup with 5.7 motor, 157k miles. The check engine light keeps coming on and kind of appears to go out when I fill the gas tank and run it through 2 warm up cycles. Last time it came on was right after filling with gas and adding 2 bottles of Techtron. Drove about 300 miles...

I took my 2000 S80 Turbo Volvo in for a Timing Belt change yesterday. It was supposed to be a one day repair but I got a call yesterday saying they were waiting for a 'gasket' and that to call today. When I called today I was informed that the Tensioner that they put on failed damaging the pistons...

I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee and for months the left tail light would not work whenever I would turn on the head lights and step on the brake pedal.

My '04 Pontiac Montana just spent three days in the shop getting a loose rocker arm fixed that also caused a bent push rod. The tech tells me this is very rare, in fact he's never seen it and has no idea how it happened. It should be noted that at about 10K the head gasket blew and this same shop...
