    How do i stop smoke from coming out of the oil fill tube on my Ford '86 Diesel truck?

    The PCV valve isn't working. It should draw air out of the engine and keep a slight vacuum in there. It's either clogged or the vacuum hose is off.

    if i get a bigger car battery will it hold more power?

    A bigger battery will last longer. The ratings are amp hours or reserve minutes. A bigger alternator won't make much difference in how fast the battery charges. The charging current is limited by other factors.

    Suspension question on a 1982 Chevy truck?

    You need to measure the back too. Rear leafs sag more often than front coils, and when one rear corner goes down the front end is also unlevel.

    It sounds like an incompatible format. Like, if you formatted it on a Mac as "Mac OS X Extended" That's why most people format their USB drives FAT32. Then anything can read it.

    1997 ford f150 ac compressor?

    The compressor is probably fine. I bet it's the belt that's squealing when the compressor puts a load on it. You can check by spraying a little water on the belt while the compressor is going. You might need a new belt tensioner or belt.

    what is the firing order on a 1980 honda cb750k coil pack?

    Guardrail is right. Also, there is no firing order. The plugs on 1 & 4 fire at the same time, as do the plugs on 2 & 3. The ignition wastes a spark at the top of the exhaust stroke that way, but it saves them the trouble of a distributor or four coils.

    Honda CB550, engine running rough, need ideas?
