Re: Time to move on...

Subaru, yota, honda etc are quality vehicles, but so are American vehicles. Imports are over-rated imo. I'm not comparing a $15k cobalt to a $30k accord...

Replace Piston Ring? Misfire #3 P0303

Hello Everyone, I have a misfire on #3- P0303. I pulled plug and it was covered in oil- like it was dipped in oil covered. I cleaned it up and cleaned coil, seemed to idle fine for about 10 seconds, then started to misfire again once the oil pumped around and saturated it. The cel flashes when I get...

Warped Rotors

Whats up guys, I seem to have warped rotors- significant vibration when braking. Does replacing just the front rotors usually solve problem or when the fronts are warped they usually all are warped? I believe I've heard someone say putting the front rotors on the back solved the problem. Has anyone ...

Re: Replace rear side glass (not tailgate)

I picked up some 3M urethane adhesive and am picking up the glass from a salvage yard. Local glass shop only wants 70.00 to install, but I am going to remove the old window and see what everything looks like and decide from there. I'll take some pics. If anyone has some tips or the proper service pr...

Replace rear side glass (not tailgate)

hello all,
Can anyone lead me to some instructions on replacing the rear side glass (not tailgate) on a wagon. Some winner came by in neighborhood smashing windows randomly.
Any special type of epoxy to install? thanks for the help.

Re: Engine Swap?

Hello guys, I appreciate the insight. My xc70 has a rear diff that is close to the size of my yukon xl. Is there no way of attaching the driveline to the rear diff like a normal rwd vehicle? :?: It was just a random idea I had after I saw someone stuff a 5.3 into a BMW 325, the project would be a li...
