I need to do this for the second time or get a new radio.

Digger

Looks like I need a resistor

Digger

I still have this if anyone needs it. It will be hitting the trash end of next week unless someone asks for it.

Digger

I have the old mirror Motor still good and there is only a small crack in the moonstone cover. the top cover of the motor is what needed to be replaced. if anyone is in need let me know.

Digger

yep, I put some on this time.

Digger

Got it off tonight. after hitting it with penetrating oil for a week. I jacked up the rear and set it on the jack stands. hit the plug with a hammer and then a chisel to try and move the bolt out/in to bust up the bond. Then I thought I would try my trusty channel locks. it worked. plug out oil chan...

Digger

looks like a slow process to get it off. I will keep youal updated.

Digger

I am worried that the threads on the case will come off with the plug.

Digger

The plug is welded on. will not budge. starting a perpetrating oil bath. pray it daily for a while. the hole that the Allen wrench goes into is now round. I can get it with a small set of vise gripes but can not get much leverage on it. I think my big issue is how to get it unstuck.

Digger

I got the E-mail and a card in the meal. dont plan on useing it...I rather do it myself....

Digger

OK I have an issuethe top plug on the Differential of my 05 AWD is stripped. the plug is on real tight and the hole stripped out when I went to take it off. Any one know of how I might get it off.The good news is I tried the top plug first. ( been in that movie before) the bad is now I can't change ...

Digger

Put mirror on tonight speaker cover just pops off. Have to take the door panel off to plug in mirror. All is good now

Digger

I searched but did not find a clear answer Do you need to take the door panel off to replace the mirror? or, Can you just pop off the tweeter and plug in the new one?

Digger

looks like the clip on the motor front is broke. I would need that piece and a new back plate. Talked to my friend who is a body guy and there is only 5 in the state of Ohio at salvage yards.... Looks like I will have to buy a whole new mirror just to get the little plastic cover.....

Digger

My wife was driving down the road and a kid throws a ice ball from the car comming the other way. it hits the driver side mirror and shaters it. what is the best way to fix the mirror? The police are looking for the car that through the snow/ice ball

Digger

I just replaced my battery on my 05. I had to dig out the sheet I printed off to stop the beep. It works.

Digger

I had one out and smacked it.... they all went out. That was 2 yrs ago. I did the surgery on it and now it is time to do it again. down to one bulb. NO, I am not going to mack it. Back then LEDs did not work in it. I wonder if anyone found a LED that works in the stock radio now?

Digger

Take care when you remove them. In 125,000 mile they could get stuck on the plug. There is a tool to remove them.

Digger

Inine is starting to leak also ( few drips a week) How hard of a job is it to change?

Digger

How hard is this to do?

Digger

starting to get a bit of a leak (oil) from the universal coming out of the transfer case. is this a hard fix?

Digger

I got a crack in one of mine...I just put some clear packing tape over it. cant see it and it sealed up the lenz. If I need to replace the lens, I will use this trick Thanks

Digger

I have 95,000 on mine and will change at 100,000. I think the book said to run them 120,000 before they need changed.

Digger

I did not get a letter. I wonder if it is still in the mail Or is it just for FWD. I have an AWD

Digger

I tried search but came up empty. Can someone give me some info or foint me in the right direction it is the Rt fog on a 05. Thanks

Digger

Could it have been a stuck rear brake? If it was loading up you could have had a back fire and it cleared the pipe. Or someone stuck a potato up your tail pipe and it finaly shot out the back

Digger

I need to ask where is the intake gasket. the seal on the airbox or a seal on the manafold

Digger

Thats why the pads last so long. I just swapped mine this summer at 70,000 had some meat on them but one was cracked.

Digger

I just did mine. Simple, take two bolts out and pull the slider off the disk. Take the spacer ( shim ) off the old pads and use it on the new. you will need a big C clamp or the like to push the piston back in. Also, you might want to put a rag around the master cylinder when you take the top off to...

Digger

Sweet, I will check mine also. Wife said ( she is driving it now) something is rattling in the back when she is on the highway. I put a new License plate bracket on since I thought it could be that under neg. pressure.

Digger

87 for me. tryed higher in the past and it made no dif.

Digger

on the 05s they did nothing. they were supposed to trap un burnt fuel coming out of the TB. Mine went by by also

Digger

I changed oil, rotated tires, Found a nail in one tire....fixed that. Checked brakes...needed replaced so off to advanced auto parts for a set of FrictionMaster ceramics. Good to go for a while.

Digger

You could get a new muffler hanger for the rear It is a rubber and they stretch with age

Digger

Check the muffler is not loose. a hanger might need replaced

Digger

I had a shake in mine. It went away after getting new tires.

Digger

Changed oil and rotated tires.

Digger

They want 100 Bucks for the Smart and it only takes 3.5QT. I will do it myself. My vibe is due in about 1,000 mile for a change. I never ran synthetic in it though. I am fearful it will start to leak after 60,000 mile on the Dino oil. Smart came with synthetic.

Digger

My smart car has Mobil 0w-40. IT has a thee banger Mitsubishi in it. The 0w-40 in for hot and cold climate. The oil change interval is 10,000 mile.

Digger

This little girl would not be your little girl? Why not have her insurance fix your car right?

Digger

I rotated the tires and changed the oil. Checked the brakes. they are about 50% after 60,000 mile. last week I did a drain and fill on the transmission. Should be good to go for another 5,000 mile. That is other than washing.

Digger

My wife is not driving your vibe I put 5 sets of life time brake pads on our van in 150,000 mile.

Digger

This has most likely been beat to death But here goes. What is the pad of choice ( brake) as of late? 60k and time to start looking into a brake job.

Digger

The hols or 5/16 - 18

Digger

What did your friend tell you was bad? I would say it is the compressor, DID YOU CHECK THE SAVAGE YARDS FOR ONE.

Digger

I got mine here http://www.hiddenhitch.com/

Digger

And think, I have been useing a 9/16 for 4 years now. never thought it was metric.

Digger

Quote, originally posted by keithvibe Â»you do know you can buy the cabin filter for as little as 3 bucks right? lolNo I did not. last time I looked it was about 30 for a new filterWhere are you getting them for 3 bucks.

Digger

I took mine out today and it was black. I thought why not clean it. I tapped it out.then mixed up some dish soap and water and put it in. After cleaning it and rinsing it out I hit it with the air from my compressor to get the crevises clean. Worked like a charm.
