OPerformance. Keeping your engine tuned will add fuel mileage as well as horsepower. Manufacturers recommend 100,000 mile tune ups on some vehicles. Be careful this is only for the spark plugs. It does not cover the filters that should be changed at specific time intervals. Oil should be changed no more than 5 thousand miles. (Check with your owner's manual for different intervals). autozone or o reilly's near me forget the other fluids like transmission and differential fluids. These are just as important as engine oil.

As mentioned, the Protecta brand mat shows up in many places. It is likely that a local auto parts store near me stocks the mat for many late model trucks. If not they can probably have one for you by next week or sooner. Also some of the rural supply stores, like Tractor Supply, stock the Protecta as well as the Dee Zee mat. Then again, you can order one for your truck online and get it at your house in a few days and pay nothing for shipping.
First of all, you can check online. This is always a plus side of buying auto parts in this day and age. However, if you aren't good at working on cars, this will only leave you up a creek without a paddle.

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.
Unfortunately, the snow will return all too soon and how we handle our snow blower storage now can have a big impact on how ready we will be for the coming snow season.
Also if your Cougar has to sit overnight in order to have the dead battery there could be a voltage draw in the system, for example, an interior light staying on like a glove box or trunk light that you may not have noticed. I would check your visor lights to ensure that they are cutting off completely.
Regularly clean the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor located in the inlet pipe near the airbox. A contaminated MAF sensor can cause faulty signals to the ECU resulting in overboosting. Suitable MAF cleaners are available from your local auto parts near me.
Several types of covers are available for you to choose from. Getting the best material for your needs means you taking the time learn more about them. Most cars require protection from the sun. You might also live in an area that is prone to acid rain.
