    Do you think Brad Pitt would have been more seriously injured if he wasn’t...

    Do you seriously believe that one type of bike is all that much safer than the other? Looking at it from a physics standpoint, A heavier bike would be more dangerous. More weight to fight as it fell, more weight to pick up afterwords, and if your leg is trapped between the bike and another...

    I have a 1996 chevy 1500 with a 350 with 5speed trans and i am hearing a whining

    Those trannys (NV3500 for most 1/2 tons) can have some bearings go bad. Mine went bad (ish) at 50,000 miles, but kept going for another 50,000. Of course that had caused more damage to some other parts.

    Why did GM want the Hummer brand name when it already had an established line of SUVs?

    Miller is actually not entirely right. The Hummer line was built to capitalize on the fame of the H-1 and the market for the biggest, baddest SUV. While off-road capability was part of that, The rest was status and exclusivity. The idea being is that what was selling. Why sell a Tahoe when you...

    General Motors copy Honda and Toyota but makes it twice as better than there's?

    Its called competition. That's the point. If they were to just let Honda build their cars without answering with a comparable model, they would be missing out on a large portion of the buying public. They copied the Civic? Well being that there are very few new ideas when it comes to car...

    I have a 302 ford f150 can't seem top get the timing right on it what am I doing wrong?

    You must get the timing in sync perfectly on the injected Fords. The injector pulses are regulated by the distributor, and the timing by the cap/rotor. If not exactly on, the injectors will pulse at the wrong time, creating driveability problems. I only know how to do it, not describe it. Follow...

    What is better a Chevy or a ford?

    There are reasons that Chevy went bankrupt, but their cars are not any of them. (try GMAC, unions, and a fickle public who suddenly stops buying the biggest, by far, portion of GMs sales, the suv and truck) Ford is only the best selling truck because they do not combine Chevy and GMC trucks...

    Chevy 4x4 problem goes into but wont work sounds like gears are broke?

    There are two thing engaged when put into 4wd in that truck. One is the transfer case, the other is a small splined collar in the front diff. If your grinding is coming from the center of the truck underneath you your Transfer case has some problems, such as a bad sprocket or blown planetary...

    what is the biggest size engine i can put in an '86 Chevy blazer?

    In 86 they had both an S-10 Blazer, and a Full size Blazer. Which is it? The full size will fit a freakin' whole other car. (not really joking I'm pretty sure a mini would fit in the engine bay) The S-10 is common for the SB or LS chevy swap, which can equal 483+ cubes if you use an LS motor...

    What is tapshift in the chevy camaro 2010?

    It is an automatic transmission. There are two paddles on the steering wheel that, when pressed, shift either up or down one gear. You can do this with other automatic transmissions by moving the gear shift lever. The only difference between this and a regular automatic transmission is that...

    SBC 383 vs SRT8 HEMI vs FORD MUSTANG 5.0?

    383. No replacement for displacement. Fords 5.0 is a good motor, but suffers from a two bolt main, and four bolt head pattern, both of which are detriments to potential. I do not know enough about the new Hemi. The general rule about Dodges is you need three cars to last long enough to exploit...
