While doing the spring replacement (which is about finished!!) I noticed the inner pads on the front brakes were about worn out on both the driver and passenger side. I don't remember exactly when I replaced them -- but seems like 20,000 miles or so ago. I could be wrong. The outer pads looked a...

Happy 4th everyone. I'm in the market for a used CR-V. To date, I've test-driven two, both 5 speed manual transmission. One was a 2000, the other a 2001. The first, the 2000, that I drove made a loud whirring/humming sound when the steering was maxed out in a 360 degree turn, in both directions....

I'm planning to buy a used SUV in the very near future. I'd narrowed it down to an early 90's 4runner. When looking around, though, I noticed one or 2 1990 Landcruisers in the same price range. Looking for some experienced opinions on which would better suit my needs. This rig will be used as a...

Sorry -- I messed up the last post. Here is how it should have come: -------------------------------------------------------------------- CJ brakes are repaired and springs are on!! Some of you on the list have been a GREAT help, and I appreciate it. I know this cj doesn't compare to some of...

My 98 Z-71 has this annoying sound like washers on a bolt everytime I go over the railroad tracks or any bump of substance. Last weekend while changing the oil, I started looking at my suspension at the rear passenger side since that seems to be where the sound is coming from. I noticed that the...

Got the replacement rear springs on. Not without incident and I'll report later when project is completed. Now the front -- old spring is off and new spring is in place. But I cannot remove the top connecting link pin holding the connecting link to the stabilizer bar! The instructions that came...

I'm looking for a 4x4 car that will excel in snowy conditions. I've had a '91 Jeep Cherokee, a '97 Jeep Wrangler Sport and a '01 Land Rover Discovery II. All of them were equipped with stock 4x4 systems, and none of them impressed me when it came to deep snow capabilities (not so deep that they...

How many people would be interested in a small 4x4 diesel swap kit,particularly a 5 cylinder Benz or a Isuzu or Mits, in a TJ or YJ Jeep? Or a Bronco?

Hi Group, I have a 1991 GMC K-2500 with the 350 CID engine {5.7 Liter}, 217,000 miles, runs great, doesn't use oil. It developed a water leak and the garage replaced the intake gasket. When I picked it up the oil pressure was very low, about 15 highway, 0 at idle. I assumed they had loosened a wire...

If you had a choice, would you go with the detroit locker in rear only, or go with lockright front and back. Given that 2 lockrights are about $150.00 Canadian less then the detroit. I'm changing gears, so now is the time to do something, so the install cost of the detroit wont come into it....

Don't know know if the question has been asked before, but humor me for a bit and share your thoughts on gas prices and if ya think driving an SUV is unpatriotic? In my own mind its a complicated question that can effect US national security (the part where we in the USA are dependent upon foreign...

I live in the southern california area near Riverside and i was wondering if anyone knew of any trustworthy places in southern california to lift my truck and how much it would cost. Also would you suggest a suspension lift or just a body lift?

Hi everyone- I posted this question in rec.autos.tech but got no response so I thought I'd try here- hope it's not to far off topic. I've got a '92 Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 with a 6.5 turbo diesel that's putting out a considerable amount of white smoke. There is also quite a bit of fuel in the oil...

Hey I bought a cherry bomb today for my 94 ford ranger 4.0 L and noticed I bought the wrong size, I had already cut off my muffler and took the pipe off and drove it down to NAPA without any muffler and it sounded just how I wanted it. I'm asking if this is ok for the engine with no "back...
