How To Change Your Car's Thermostat

Check your tires. Unscrew the cap on the valve that's coming out of your tire rim, and connect your gauge. Tire pressure is measured in PSI. closest advance auto parts to my location per Square Inch. Your tires should be at 32 PSI. That's the standard for all cars and light trucks. 35 PSI if you're carrying a lot of weight.



A "Rain Tire" is specially designed with a wide groove in the center and a tread design that channels water away. This leads to improved traction and better control of your vehicle, especially if you have to brake hard on wet pavement.

I am a farm girl. Born and raised on a poultry farm. I have 200 pet roosters. I love roosters. Of course, I love custom cars as well. I want my car to somehow reflect my love for roosters. I really want this car to crow... literally. I was at the local auto parts near me this week and I spotted just the thing: an electronic horn. Plays some 45 different sounds and a hundred or so songs. But you want to know what I liked about it? It crows. Sounds like a real live rooster crowing at dawn. Well that is just the thing for me. So now my car well shimmer like a peacock and crow like a rooster. I'm happy.

This is what many fail to understand that is costing them a lot of their time and money. Let's say you're having problems with your power steering in your car and so you go to the auto parts store near me and purchase brakes. Will your power steering now all of a sudden work once you put those new brakes on? Probably not.

If you go to your local auto store near me or RV dealer and ask them "How can I isolate a second battery so I won't drain the starting battery" they will likely aim you toward an electronic battery isolator that may cost the better part of $100. I've used them in the past and they've often caused more problems then they've solved. Today's computer controlled cars are sensitive to any electrical add on device that may require you to modify the original wiring. Such was the case with my 2001 GMC, the charging system became unreliable with the modifications required to make an electronic isolator work.

Cars coming off the assembly line today have radiators with aluminum fins and composite bodies. With possibly a little drain plug made of this same composite material. The words Be Careful come to mind. Expensive damage will be the result of over enthusiastic force being applied to these materials.

If you have a larger machine and use tire chains, you should take them off, check for any damaged or worn links, and spray them well with rust preventive. They should be hung until you prepare for next snow season.
