    Busted C6 Bellhousing. Need advice.

    It would appear that my only purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others. We broke one of the mounting "ears" off of my C6's bellhousing today. That so totally ruined my day. I've been told that repairing the housing is out of the question so... How hard is it to remove the...

    Ironic that my AC quits on the hottest day of the year.

    '92 Chevy 1500 V6 auto. Ever since I had the system converted to the new stuff my compressor sounds like a woodpecker on a hollow log when it comes on. This was over a year ago. A few days ago my air (which was just at 39 degrees) started getting warm but not as much as if I turned of the AC...

    Dude, my Dell is too slow!

    Ok, I've defragged and ran disk cleaner... that's about the extent of my pc diagnostic/repair ability. Is there something else I can do to get this thing back up to snuff? Weird stuff's been happening lately like the desktop bkg not loading and web pages taking 15 min to load (no, not...

    How do you know if a harmonic balancer is bad?

    Is there a way to test them at home or will I need to take it to a shop? (My dad suspected it was bad due to an odd vibration in the truck at speed). Oh, and why are those things so #*@&%$ expensive???!:eek: (1968 Ford 390FE) Thanks, spots

    Can I omit the primer bulb on a small 2 stroke?

    A buddy gave me one of those little two stroke tillers complete with some gearbox problems that I have since fixed. The primer bulb however has dry rotted and shattered along with the fuel lines. The lines were easy but the bulb is hard to find around here and I'd like to see if it runs before...

    Charger only goes tto 77% ?

    Put the charger on the Trojans today and it only went to 77% (digital readout). At first I thought I had lost a battery but it did the same on the other battery as well. I left one on for a few hours and the battery was too hot to touch when I checked on it! This is one of those 2/30/60 amp...
