    The chrysler manual says to use ATF+3 in the transfer case so what fluid should

    ATF+4 is an upgrade for ATF+3. ATF+4 meets most of specs of ATF+3 and is a direct replacement in most Chrysler products the exception being some Jeeps. The ATF+4 was developed to try an extend the life of the fluid. The lubrication properties are almost identical. If you plan to do regular...

    Can I put my LT1 5.7L 350 Motor from a 95 buick roadmaster into an 84 Buick...

    Your 84 Regal would have come with an Oldsmobile 307 V8 with a 2004R transmission. The Roadmaster is a Chevy with a 4L60. The Regals are G body cars and some of the G bodies (Monte, Grand Prix) did have chevy V8 options so it should not be that big of a deal to get one to bolt in. Overall...

    The check engine light was on, and now its off. Is it my oxygen sensor or my cadillac

    The light going off is a good sign, that means its not a serious problem at this time. There was a problem at one point but it did not happen again over a certain time period so the computer turned off the light. The code should still be in there. Most likely it will get worse and come back...

    Most common place for oil leaks on a 98 non supercharged Buick 3800?

    Got a high mileage 98 Regal. Looking underneath it looks like its coming from fairly high up. Topside looks fairly clean and dry where you can see. Have not worked on one this new before. Last one I worked on it was still called a 3.8.

    Ya if it did not happen before it could just be a bad battery. To find what the draw is hook a light bulb between one of the battery and one of the terminals. For a small load something like a brake light would be fine. For a large draw something like a headlight. You wont be able to see...

    Will a Chevy 327 be able to mount on a 305 tranny?

    All the Chevy RWD motors use the same transmission bell housing bolt pattern. There are 2 starters and 2 sizes of flexplate/ flywheels depending on the transmissions. There are also different flexplate/ flywheels depending on if its an internal or external balanced engine. As long as you got...

    Why do so many cars (US and foreign) look alike? They all seemed to have the...

    Style is one of the last things on the list when designing a car now days. Most designers use the same software for aerodynamics so the basic shapes tend to be similar. Most use similar technology to make the cars so there are limits to shapes, sizes, and angles of the basic components. Most...

    who has ever restored a 1975 buick skylark?

    Mechanical stuff like engine, transmission, brakes, suspension should not be a big deal since many of the GM cars shared many parts. Its going to be body and interior stuff that is hard to find since that stuff was specific to each model and there is no aftermarket stuff being made for that...

    telling car makes apart like plymouth/honda and ford?

    Cars all look the same now because the look and style is way down on the priority list. Cost and fuel economy are much more important for most models. If you are trying to make a mini van that has to be about a certain size and price there just are not that many options. Other thing is I...
