  • Is this correct - on Corolla?

    Alright 06 Corolla, it would not start battery seemed to weak, with a jump start it started right up, and off we drove to the Auto store, (driver noted the engine was rather rough) Auto store test showed no results as the battery was too low, we then tried to jump start it to test charge, moments after restarting it died**, this gave the conclusion that the alternator was the culprit. Although this didn't sit right with me.

    Got it back, and removed old alternator, for the fun I took it to be tested before installing the new alternator, it passed the test 8 times.

    I talked to the attendents, and neither believed it could be the battery because it had shut off after being jump started.

    I however wondered, i got back, reinstalled the old alternator, jump started, and removed the negative cable, and the engine continued running.

    However upon retouching the negative to the battery terminal the engine was heavily loaded.

    So My final assumption was that the battery had a dead cell.

    I replaced battery took it in to be tested and it passed all tests.

    It does have a slight shake (not my car may be normal) but I'm going to point it at the ecm resetting after the battery installation.

    Does this seem correct?

  • Paying for College troubles?

    I'm having trouble finding ways to get grants, I'm finding that thanks to loopholes, others are getting full on grants for reasons such as having divorced parents or a retired parent, being that my parents are together and make in excess of 100k, I can't find any grants, I can get Fafsa loans for up to 3250 a semester, however the interest rate is 6.8% which is absolutely ridiculous. It seems being under priveliged pays.

    What ways are there to help me pay?

  • Why would you commit suicide over what other people thought?

    First off, I'm not making fun or making light of this subject.

    I Don't understand why you would take to heart what other people said or thought of you. If someone is putting you down, thinking it makes them look good, I personally think it would be hilarious.

    Just because one person is a dumbass and isn't smart enough to be a real man and thinks he's too incompetant to have friends without putting others down doesn't mean you have to take what they say serious.

    Kids these days are growing up thinking they deserve everything and will be giving everything in life, liberal products, thinking the gov't will take care of them, kids that have no real life expierence, never hunted, never fished, never did just children should do are growing to be wimps. On the other hand, the kids of criminals or abusive parents, or parents that don't care, are growing up to be bullies that use nothing more then mere words, which sadly work to scare the wimpy kids. These bullies are more scared of other kids then the other kids are scared of them, but they still are too weak to do anything, emotionally speaking.

  • Small diesel engine losing compression overheating?

    I've been working on an old 1990 or so kubota diesel garden tractor

    (not main lawnmower have a new kubota tractor for that)

    And it's engine was rebuilt in the past maybe 5-6 years ago b\c someone put gas into it and destroyed the engine..

    Now i'm having a problem where theirs fuel coming out of the injectors (3 of them) and it's overheating and shutting off after 10-15mins time

    I know the overheating is not a simple problem, I've cleaned the air filter washed and refilled radiator fluid replaced fuel filter emptied fuel tank, and clean off the engine itself, the fan turns fine but, i'm sure it has to do with the fact it's losing compression, what can I do about this

    It's a Kubota G1800

  • I don't understand GM's Large SUV marketing plans..?

    First off, lemme start off by saying I own an 09 H2 Hummer, and a 03 Chevrolet Tahoe, so I'm not some dumbass environmentalist

    Now, what I don't understand is GM's positioning of the Chevy line

    They have the escalade, which is focused at luxery

    The GMC line which is quite refined

    and the Chevrolet line which... is quite refined....

    Historically Chevy has been the working mans vehicles, and Suburbans and K5's/Tahoes go right into that simply because their needed on the worksite.

    Suburban which just hit it's 75th birthday, being the longest running model in the world it simply too far out of line.

    Why doesn't Chevy offer the Suburban and Tahoe as base model units, don't get me wrong the luxury is nice too, and some only by Chevy not GMC, but is a entry and working model too much to ask for?

    Now, the 3/4 suburban is more of a joke then anything else, they were putting the 6.2's in tahoes for a while as an option, the only option for the 3/4 sub is a 6.0... Gas engine.

    This is rediculous this isn't a real towing vehicle, put a diesel in it or at least the 7.4L or 8.1L V8

    AND FOR GOD SAKES START PUTTING METAL BUMPERS ON ALL THESE SUV"S <- this is simply a facepalm that they would even put a plastic bumper on a vehicle that will be offroading or doing heavy working after it's new and to the first few owners useful life.

    These vehicles are being built like crap now and the price tag does not show that lowering of cost.

    I looked at a 75th sub other day ago, plastic bumpers plastic interior, nothing amazing

    Even the f'n Z71 tahoe I looked at has a plastic bumper on the front that looks like strong steel, it's like wtf.

    They freggin ask why they don't sell, they get 21mpg now so for gosh sakes it's obviously not the gas, it's the freggin price that doesn't equate to the goddamn quality

  • Why is leather seen as fancy in vehicles?

    Of materials that are most widely used why is leather seen as "fancy"

    It is one of the most uncomfortable materials widely used, yet it's used so much?

    Cloth is so much more comfortable.

    And why do they only put heated seats in leather seats? it makes no sense, why should we suffer comfortability for something that's no more than a status symbol of your cars features

  • Why are minis so expensive for so little power and such bad mpg and few options?

    First of, no I would never buy one their sooo ugly and so impractical

    But what's with the huge price tag.

    How can any justify paying $20,000 for something that is ugly, gets terrible mpg, has a laughable engine size (1.6L) and is so extremely unsafe and has such a bad interior setup. and even with all of this is only gets 172 hp??? WITH A TURBOCHARGER?????? and only 32 mpg for weighing almost nothing

    You can get vehicles today for the same price, that have RWD, over 300HP, look damn fine, and have at least a decent engine size 3L+ and has tons upon tons of options. and gets 30mpg+ wieghing 3x as much and being 10x safer

    I'm just trying to justify help me out
