    My chrome wheel won't stop losing air?

    wire stripper on a drill. take the inside down to smooth fresh metal. clean good. if the metal behind the chrome is really pitted you can have a machine shop turn the wheel to make the surface smooth. a good wheel repair shop should also be able to fix it. have it broke down and get some pix so...

    quick transmission question

    i don't care if threads stay on topic. it was kinda dumb anyway. as for cruising in neutral it could have something to do with trans speed vs the oil pump speed and that's why its bad for it. the motor runs the trans oil pump. in neutral the motor runs at idle so im thinking the pump would be...

    quick transmission question

    i understand that point too but clearly one doesn't have to be intelligent to have or drive a car. we see this every day. i worry more about the fly by wire stuff like a gas peddle that is only connected to a electronic device that communicates to another electronic device through a PCM. i don't...

    quick transmission question

    i don't get this. with as smart as car have gotten why would they not program something to not let this happen. in my suburban if im going down a steep grade and pull the truck in to low the computer doesn't let it down shift and i end up burning the brakes off it. if you put it in 1st and take...

    Typical Engine Temps

    i see why you got worried. 220 would have scared me enough to pull over and shutter her down. then i would be posting the same thing. glad to know is safe but that still sounds hot to me. on a side note hot is better for emissions but not power. is there a 160 t stat for the ls. seems like you...

    quick transmission question

    if you r diving your ls forward would the car be smart enough to not shift in to reverse if you accidentally put the shifter into reverse? i know this sounds stupid but i have a friend that has a 2008 or 2009 Malibu and some how he did this and the car went into reverse. talking with him i was...

    my pinto

    trans is a c3 witch sucks because i cant get a good converter for it. the cam doesn't come on tell 5,000 and it currently will stall to 1,700. it doesn't come out of the hole to good. but at about 4,500 it starts putting you in the seat pretty hard. last attempt at the 1/4 mile she ran a best of...

    Looking For Some Advice..

    i cut my mufflers off (02 v8) and it sounds like junk. it sounds like a really tiered v8 at idle to 3500 ish. but i sounds mean in the upper RPMs. not to hijack this thread but just after my resonators there it a crossover or H pipe, is that factory? also is there a o2 simulator out there...
