We have a 2005 Toyota Sienna. I've been taking it to the dealer we bought it from for its regular service. But it seems like every time I take it in for "just an oil change", they say it needs this thing or that thing, for $100 here and $150 there. For example, today I had it in for 41,000 mile service ($79). They recommended a transmission flush ($180),...

Hi all, in the interest of satisfying my curiosity, I was placing an order for some cheap Chinese crap that I couldn't find anywhere else from dealextreme, and figured I'd see if there was anything else that tickled my fancy since everything on the site was so damn cheap. I ended up buying a couple packs of LED automotive light "bulbs," one 1157 red...

Consider a vehicle of axle-to-axle length L, and left to right wheel separation W (though I don't believe this matters). Assume a X-Y co-ordinate plane, the origin located at the center of the rear axle. What is the car's forward trajectory, if the front wheels rotate left at angle U? What is its reverse trajectory? What if the car has front wheel...

Hi all, I just got a GM / Kent Moore J-42598 Vehicle Data Recorder from an estate sale and want to play with it. I was able to make a serial data cable for it, and I have an ac adapter that works (12VDC @1.5A). I would love to have the VDR host software version 13 or higher. I realize this update is about 15 meg, but does anyone have it online somewhere. Help!!! Thanks...

Looking at the driveshaft, there appears to be a small problem. This car uses a 2-piece driveshaft; a front 'intermediate' shaft, a center carrier/ bearing, and then the rear shaft. The rear shaft is held in with 8 bolts, 4 bolts attaching it to the differential, and 4 bolts attaching it to a sleeve that mates to splines from the front shaft through the...

I have owned the vehicle for 2 years and driven it for aproximately half a year because of the problems (above). What follows is a listing of the tests that I have carried out, including the vehicles air care record. I don=92t know how it passed the last test as it smoked and stalled in traffic from the moment I bought it. Note that the HCs have gone way...

I have a 94 Buick Skylark. It doesn't get a lot of use. I've only put 35,000 miles on it. Sometimes when I try to turn it on it seems to kill the battery. All the lights on the dashboard will go off. Trying to turn it on again soon after will do nothing. When I test the clock it is still keeping time, thus it didn't lose a connection with the...

Having owned and maitained about 20, mostly GM cars in the 70 - 90 era I have a lot of old power steering and engine oil pumps. Now I need to pump waste vegetable oil through a de-watering and particulate (3 micron) filter to a storage tank. I have looked at the price of a commercial item and am horrified. It needs quite a small flow at about 50 psi. I...

I remember seeing on TV a while ago that there was someone trying to beat a land speed record. I really don't remember very many details of the show, but one thing I do remember is that they needed some way of stopping the vehicle very well, without locking up the wheels. The solution involved an aluminum "disc" on the axle that caused drag the closer...

Tech tested and found the brake pressure modulator valve seized...
