Re: headlight chime
We have a 95 EVC also, and I feel safer with driving lights as well. How about this approach? Is there a (good) kit to light the headlights when the engine is running? Doug Kottum, Battle Lake, MN 34

Re: Road trip and mechanics litany of issues
Louis is a good guy. To me the sticking caliper is the main issue. When the piston doesn't retract a bit after application, the pad rubs on the rotor, and that pad wears out fast! When it gets down to

Re: Trans Fluid Change Detroit
We're just talking about changing fluid, and cleaning the pan and filter. We aren't talking about cleaning the entire guts. A solvent flush is not SOP for a fluid change. Besides, if the trans is so

Re: 2002 engine removal: Need some help and thoughts
Matt, Won't the torque curve for that engine be less than optimal for the EV? That is, less low end torque? A six speed might be a good idea. With that kind of driving he's likely got only a year or

Re: Trans Fluid Change Detroit
You can dislodge junk when dropping the pan and servicing the filter, too. That's not the point. The question is whether or not flushing is inherently risky, and the answer is no, it's not. To fully

Re: Trans Fluid Change Detroit
True enough... unless removing the cooler dislodges something. Also, I like the "drop n' drain" because it let's you clean the pan and magnet as well as change the filter. Does "suck n' pump" mean you

Re: Trans Fluid Change Detroit
Flushing only adds and drains fluid simultaneously. The fluid moves in the same direction and under the same pressure whether or not it is being flushed: it is pumped normally by the internal
