over the last few weeks, my fuel gauge is acting weird....sometimes it reads empty when I know there is fuel and today after I filled up it is pegged all the way right...way past full and laying flat to the right. Any suggestions?

So, my wife got us each new laptops for xmas last year. The problem is whenever I try to use Word for an assignment or memo at work, it says it's unlicensed/unregistered. Apparently it did not come with Word pre-installed. So, my question is...how do I get Word on my computer? Do I download...

So, this is a question about my new Ford Edge... I know there are other forums for these vehicles but I don't want to register to just ask one question. If a car has a remote start capability, can you start it in a closed garage? The question was brought up among some friends because when we...

link doesn't go anywhere

I just read that Ford is going to be offering this plan through Jan 3rd. What exactly does it mean? How much of a discount are we talking about? Anybody familiar with this?

Thanks for the replies...dealer replaced the alternator. He said the positive terminal was loose, probably just missed it at the factory, fried the alternator. They really did all they could for us- shipped it overnight from Detroit, came in Saturday to replace it, gave us a Lincoln MKC to...

My wife and I just bought a 2015 Ford Edge and took delivery on Monday. By Tuesday, the "check charging system now" light was on and on Wednesday, it completely quit on me. Long story short...dealership said the alternator needs replacing. So, my question is what would you do now? Obviously...

So, I changed all the filters and plugs in my Dixie Chopper lawnmower, but I am afraid I cross threaded a spark plug. It seemed to go in tighter than the other one and isn't as far seated as the other one. Everything starts and runs fine as it did before. Should I get this looked at or just...

For a long time, our clothes dryer has been acting up...very loud, sounds like a thunderstorm is passing through. So, after 5 years of putting up with figuring we got a cheap dryer, we recently purchased a Whirlpool Cabrio. When I was switching over the 4 wire dryer cord, I think the old one...

My brakes are starting to sound like chewed up glass, I think its coming from the rear. Dealer will be looking at them on Thursday, but just for curiosity....if I need new brakes, how much should I expect for pads/rotors/labor? What about the front? Gimme a ballpark so I don't have a heart...

I found a couple in the Projects area, looks like I can use the one for inside the bed and strap it to the top of the cover if I had to. Would rather not take the front tire off everytime though, always takes a little adjusting to get the brakes to stop rubbing

anybody have a bike rack for a ST with the hard top bed cover? I made my own for the inside of the bed from a project on this site a couple years ago, but what about the TOP of the cover?

Whats everybody prefer for Concealed Carry? Brand, model, caliber, pistol/revolver etc.

so further update from a previous question. I looked up the "key dancing" idea and tried it on my dodge grand caravan. The code that showed up on the dash was P1607, a quick google search says its "pcm internal failure". Perhaps the battery is getting low? Would that cause it? Going to look...

So my 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan had a check engine light come...no noticeable performance issues. My friend put it on his scanner tool and it said there were no codes stored in the vans memory. He cleared it and it seemed fine. A week later it's back on. What would cause that? Does it need a trip...
