Is there some kind of problem with S10 4x4 front hubs? I replaced both of mine and It sounds like the one on the right might be going out again! I still have less than 100,000 miles on the car. I bought Timken bearings, the most expensive ones Autobone had. Is this just not a good part?

Is a Rebel 250 the same bike as a Rebel 450, other than engine displacement? More to the point, do they use the same frame and fenders? The reason I want to know is, I have a Hondamatic 450, and I'd like to put Rebel fenders on it. My repair manual covers the Rebel 450, but not a 250. I found...

I need some opinions on these bikes for daily commuting. First is a Honda Passport with a Lifan 110 swapped in. I ride a stock one now, and I love the 90-100 MPG from it, but it can't climb a hill at more than 35 MPH. I also can't take it out of town. I hate Chinese products, but a Lifan 110 is...

I asked this question in the C70 Passport group, but I thought I'd give it a shot here, too. I have an '82 Honda Passport. My carb was leaking like crazy. Instead of spending $120 on getting it overhauled again, I bought a brand-new Taiwanese one from www.dratv.com for $42. I put it on today...

I agree with n. I have a '95 S10 V6 with 150,000 miles on it. The engine and transmission have never been worked on. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country tomorrow. High mileage doesn't mean the car's gonna crap out on you next week. Besides, Toyotas are supposed to last a million...

I'm trying to help my son find a set of 16x8 inch wheels for his 2004 Mustang. He's got a set of summer tires and a set of winter tires. I warned him to get another cheap set of wheels, and now he's listening to me. Out of the Crown Victoria, Marquis, and Town Car, which years and trim levels...

I know where there's one, about a '76, just sitting and rotting in Illinois.

The only thing I can find is that its engine, the 472, was only used in '68 and '69 in the Eldo. There's no mention of a high-performance version. Maybe the factory or the dealer snuck in a new-for-'70 500 engine. Awesome car!

The number three cylinder IS a problem if you have four-wheel-drive. It's a real pain to get the plug out because the steering shaft runs right next to it. I'm assuming yours is 4x4 and you bought it used. Somebody probably did a 5-cylinder tune up on it, and #3 is all worn out.

He turned a rich man's toy into something anyone could afford. Everyone could have transportation at there disposal that could take them wherever they wanted to go, any time they wanted.

Is that why the Siennas all go so slow? Because they're collapsing and the body's rubbing on the tires? Uh-oh, here come a bunch of thumbs down from the Toiletodor owners.

I need my own business. I've been working at a factory for over a decade, and it's ruining my health. I'm unable to lift or carry much due to pain in my hands. About me: Qualities - Prompt, courteous (usually) service. I do my best to get a job done. I don't feel right standing around talking...

How's this? "Failure is not an option. We've made it standard equipment!"

It had something to do with a Japanese superstition. Supposedly spelling it with a T would bring them good luck in America. It worked, up until now.
