Ford F150 Tempeartuer Gauge won't work by
GWK
1995 Ford F150 6 cylinder 4.9L
My temperature gauge on the dash has been stuck on COLD for about a year.
The heater produces hot air no problem. I changed the thermostat anyway,
but it didn't make any difference. So when my mechanic was doing some other
work on the engine, I asked him to change...

Material for battery terminal bolts? by
Nate Nagel[_2_]
Hi all,
am trying to "rust proof" a vehicle... when I got it the old battery
had spewed acid everywhere and destroyed not only itself, but the
coating on the hold down and all of the battery cables. I purchased
replacement heavier gauge cables (cheaper than buying the ones from the
dealer!)...

slightly OT gasoline pricing by
Ivan Vegvary[_2_]
I understand the psychology of $x.99 pricing. I don't understand why almost all gas pricing (Oregon) ends in an odd number. Asked my ARCO station manager and withdrew from the discussion after being told that there were more odd numbers than even.

What's the best remover for stripped lug nuts/lost wheel lock keys? by
N8N
Friend of mine owns a shop... this comes up far too often unfortunately. Usually it's not a lost wheel lock key but a lug nut that's been overtorqued and then left on for a year or two, head strips, uncomfortable call to owner, then carefully blowing the head of the lug off with a cutting torch...

Best way to remove vintage cell antenna by
Ed Treijs[_2_]
My new-to-me 1997 Saab has an equally vintage cellphone antenna on the
hatch window. It's kind of cute in a yuppiesque way, but I'd prefer to
remove it. The base is a metal or plastic pad, maybe 2 cm square. I
assume there's some kind of adhesive.
What are my best means of removal? Something that...

Push out the dent in a plastic bumper? by
Percival P. Cassidy[_2_]
We bought a 2008 Pontiac Vibe that has one corner of the rear bumper
pushed in. It looks as though the dent could be pushed out by levering
something between the inside of the bumper and the frame of the vehicle,
but is this advisable? Any other method preferable?
