I run a can of Seafoam in the tank at each oil change ~5K.I've also used ChemTool and Walmart brand.Can't say any of it does any good mechanically.But it does make me feel good mentally.

DrugsDrug treatment may be needed to relax the washer fluid tank so it can hold more fluid, decreasing the need for frequent squirting. Other drugs help tighten the pump check valve to avoid uncontrolled fluid leakage. Still other drugs are used to help empty the washer fluid tank for conditions in ...

I use this http://www.harborfreight.com/c...37201When I do the pads of shoes.I always open the bleeder screw and push the piston back into the caliper. I don't like pushing the fluid upstream. Kinda like a mini flush.

Store opened at 4am.I arrived there at 5am and worked til 3pm.Very busy.Some years ago, I did a BF to get some electronic stuff. For me at that moment, it was a deal I could not pass up. I was back home before 7am.

My driveway slopes a little bit away from the garage. I built a couple of 2x4 extensions with risers so I can drive out of the garage and kind "boom-out" so I can get under for my oil change.For the same side elevation, I just find some balance point using my 3 ton floor jack. Mine has a r...

Could be the change in voltage from the alternator from idle RPM to above idle as in driving RPM.

Water boy

Ok, I see your point.But...If you want warm air to the windscreen just move the temp dial to hot.If you want to save the MPG of not running the A/C compressor defog is not on very long anyway ... 5 minutes?

Sometimes I wish that threads over 12 months are automatically closed.December of 2006 ? ? ?

QUOTE=Sublimewind]NOTE something here, it wouldn't be a bad idea for you to unbolt any of the ground connections you find... sand a little under the terminal, scotch brite or steel wool the connectors themselves, apply the dielectric grease and bolt them back up... The car will run better.... trust ...

Water boy

Why stop the A/C on defog?The A/C causes dried air to dry off the inside of the windscreen.

Light bulbs mostly.Even on the household brass threads of regular 110V bulbs.

Great choice on the GatorBack.I've yet to replace one of those.What is the condition of your current belt?But, like you said, cheap insurance.

If the car is over the pit, how do you get into the pit?If you are in the pit, how do you get the car over the pit?In the South, I've seen farmers just insert a couple of boards into the side of a slope and kinda boom-out.

Generally, the first time you remove the filter it is a real *itch to unscrew. Tighter than a tick.After the filter is off, be sure the gasket is off as well.Fill the new filter 3/4 full with new oil and lube the gasket with that oil. As you screw it on, wiggle it until the wiggle stops. Then go abo...

Water boy

Or is it the "drive-by-wire" (DBW) issue?At off-idle the throttle response is very jerky.Didn't I see (read) somewhere that you can reset the DBW to get better smoothness?

We need a "Tool" sub forum.I've been 'renchin' for 40+ years.There is probably someone out there that has a trick that I never thought of or a tool that is more useful.With the Vibe being a more "younger" generation car, "old farts in training" like me could still be us...

Speaking of getting the drum off....What is the size of the threaded holes in the drum to enable the "get it off" because they are stuck on.

Did my first change on the wife's Vibe.It is true, the factory installed oil filter was installed using level 5 thread-lok.I removed the cooling fan assembly to get better access to the filter.There were 2 10mm bolts and 2 wire harness clips and the fan electrical connector and disconnect the overfl...
