The 2 links from Joatmon have you covered on the fan.

Thanks Joatmon just the info I needed.

This is the strangest thing I have ever seen in a car but I'm hoping some else has had this happen to them and can help. On my 03 Vibe now my fan only works on high, turn it down and no fan at all.Anybody have any answers and is there a simple fix? Thanks in advance.

Zion I'll try next time I'm there but I was in town to ride the Hill Country with 22 other Harley riders and my time was very limited. That's one of the reason I had to trailer the bike down. 36 hours of driving for just 4 short days of riding. But Man was it fun, and the weather was just perfect la...

This is actually a 18 year old Chariot trailer but it looks brand new. It's only 700 lb empty. They are considered some of the best in the light weight trailers. http://www.chariot-trailer.com...mid=1It is an auto tranny.I may be wrong but I understand that the Vibe has both a 4th and a 5th gear ove...

Yeah, nothing wrong with that mileage tho with the wind at my back in the flat lands one tank was giving me 23.5 mpg. The other nice thing was the gas prices stayed low. The most I paid was 2.69 with the lowest being 2.45 with most of it priced right around 2.53 and as soon as I get home it jumped t...

Some of the later models have sabilaztion control. I wish I had found a used Vibe with this. Much more valuable to me than ABS any day. Or better yet both.

Another excellent food is Canine Caviar. One of the top 10 foods in the country right now. You can go to http://www.caninecaviar.com to find a store near you to buy it.

Viberrrr

If you want to keep your pets healthy than find foods that have NO wheat, corn, or soy in them. These are the leading causes of allergies in pets. They are cheap fillers so that's why you see them in the lower grade foods. Also look for foods that have no BHT, and BHA in then but ones with a natural...

Yup your right. Me bad, it should read mpg not mph. Good catch.

I live in the snow belt and have always had AWD for the snow, but we bought our 03 Vibe with FWD and this last winter put on steelies and Blizzacks. I did not miss the AWD at all and I truly love getting 34 mph.

Well folks save these pictures, you probably are the last group to take photos under these planes. I was just down in Owatonna for the Holidays and they are moving these planes about a 1/2 mile south to the airport.

I've been a pretty strong Ford guy most of my life but this car has me troubled and still thinkin about it.So I'm going to ask another question of Ford. If your car company is loosing billions of dollars why would this car and the continuing R&D NOT be the first thing to go on the chopping block...

Viberrrr

Buy these Stangs while you can because if Ford can't figure out how to make cars that the rest of use will buy like the Prius, Camry, Civic, and Accords then Ford will be history. Personnaly I don't understand why Ford can't take their Hybrid powerplant and put them in their Focus and Escort lines a...

And as one Shepard owner to another look for a food with lots of Omega 3 & 6 (fish oil) to help control the shedding problem we all have in this breed.You can easily add fish oil to any food and your dogs will love you even more than they do now.

This food question is right up my alley as I'm the Midwest's distributor of Canine Caviar and proud that it is one of the top ten foods in the country. Second, I won't try and sell you on Canine Caviar but can amswer questions you have on nutrition. I've learned a ton in the 5 years I have been doin...

I feed my German Shepard only the best. Canine Caviar.If your dog is "gassy" it's because of the fat in the formula. Just find a lower fat formula that will work. Like a Lamb or low-fat chicken formula.And stay away from any foods that have wheat, corn, or soy in them.

Ok, some in my family have accused me of being cheap, I look at it as being Frugal. Why pay more than you have to and here is a good example. All I wanted was a good set of snow tires since I don't have AWD. It took some time and yes I did get lucky on the rims. 15" steel rims off of a 93 Plymo...

Viberrrr

OK I admit i got very lucky cause I found out that I had a set of 4-15" steelies off of a 93 Plymouth Duster sitting in my garage that would work for my snow tires. Here is a list of all the rims that have the correct bolt pattern. Please note that the Bore is larger on many of these so driving...

I just put 15" steelies with Blizzaks on my car yesterday.

I used this link with great success to find a set of steel rims for my snow tires. Because of this list I discovered I had 4 rims sitting in my garage that would work. Yeee Haaaw. Here is the link: http://www.sromagazine.com/shop/wheelguide.html

From my chart it doesn't look like they will work.

Yea, I got some inexpensive wheel covers and I think they'll look pretty good on the Vibe over the winter so I think I'm all set. Thanks much Ol' Timer.

Ok, these are the "16" stock rims" on my car and they do not have any covers and the lugnuts are just like to one on the left.

Ok, this thread has me both confused and a bit alarmed as it's November up here and I'll be wanting to change out my tires soon. If I read this thread correct the lug nuts off my 03 Vibe w/ 16" stock wheels will not work on my 15" steel rimmed snow tires. I'll have to find different lug nu...

I'm glad Avis has the Vibe priced high. Just means more low mileage used ones being sold in a few years from Avis.

What I have done is before I get to a hill while in CC I press on the throttle and accelerate a bit. This gets me up the hill without the CC downshifting a gear. What I believe is happening is the variable valves are working harder rather than the gears. Anybody else tried this?

As someone who is always hauling things for business. There is slim-pickin's out there for great gas mileage cargo haulers other than the Sprinter, and man are they pricey. We use our Vibe for all of the smaller deliveries. One of the reasons we bought it. Lots of cargo space with great gas mileage.

Where is a good place online to buy these recharge kits?I bought a filter at the Owatonna meet and will need to clean it soon.

Very good info, I now wish I had a 05 just so I could play along. But the bigger question is: BC how did you figure this out? and why would one look to the odometer button to solve a seat belt issue?

This is the best place I know for parts. I could not have rebuilt my bike without them. If you think you'll buy a lot of parts join their club and you can save alot. Also watch for their sale weekends. They also have great customer support and even a great forum for questions.http://www.jpcycles.com...

Yea I spoke with my brother-in-law about bore size this weekend. He is the best wrench I have ever met. He feels running snow tires on rims with a larger bore size for just 3 months would not be a problem. Long term yes, but not just a snow season. I did like the fact that some earlier Toyotas fit t...
