someone could advise me of the best rpm range for a diesel 4 x 4. Its

car top vs. rear bench cargo carriers by
Jennifer
Hi! I've got a Honda Odyssey and need more space for our luggage for
an upcoming road trip. I've been trying to decide between the car top
vs. rear bench type carriers. I don't have one yet, but I'm planning
to add a hitch to my van for a bike rack anyway. So, that part
wouldn't be a problem...

Smelly brakes by
Smerby
Hi all,
My right front brake (or possibly both front brakes) has been smelling
like that of an 18 wheeler braking down a long hill. I noticed it when
sitting at a red light and after I parked the car. I have a 1998
Lumina with anti lock brakes. Could this be a sticking caliper?
Anybody got any...

Take my car with me to China? by
Rolf Lochbühler
Hi there.
Does anybody here have any experience importing a car to Mainland
China for personal use?
I'd be interested to hear about the general procedure and about any
non-technical issues that did come up. Was it worth the effort to
ship your car?
Do you have a dealer of your brand available?...

gas filter bowls by
RB
Old gas engines used to have glass filter bowls just prior to the
carburetors for collecting trash and water. . I'd like to find one of the
bigger ones of those assemblies.
Who made the things? Are they available in parts stores anymore, or are
they strictly a junkyard item?

Gas prices... by
Zoggin
Some anaylists predict gaslone prices to exceed $2.00 a gallon by this
summer for the entire US. Those places that already have exceeded the
$2.00 barrier could as high as $3.00 a gallon.
The only good I see of this is to get all the damned SUV's off the
road. Let's see how $100.00+ fill ups...

DIY fuel injector cleaning by
George Bray
I want to clean my fuel injectors as preventive maintenance. There's
no sign of anything wrong but I assume the injectors won't suffer from
being cleaned. Adding an expensive snake oil treatment to the gas tank
sounds too uncertain to me.
I propose removing the injectors to dip them in carb...
