94 Pontiac Bonneville - Head Gasket, Seal, or Intake failure??? by SURFnJAM

I have a 1999 Chevy Silverado 4x4 with 64k miles, 5.3 L engine and automatic tranny. The truck "stumbles" at different times. The problem generally occurs when I first start the engine and put in gear. Once I begin to give it more throttle, the problem starts to dissipate. During acceleration...

Oil Light / Bearing Clearance Q. by Juan A. Gato
The oil light on my '89 Daihatsu Charade (1.0L w/ 250K miles) has been coming on at idle for the last month or so, but only after about 20 minutes of freeway driving. My first thought was worn main bearings. (Rod bearings were changed 100K ago, so I don't suspect a problem there.) But after...
