Crankshaft pulley wobbles. Belt keeps slipping. Problem?

admin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:16:04 +0000

I have a 1996 Ford E250 Cargo Van. Twice last week my serpentine belt fell off and eventually was shredded. After further inspection, I noticed that the crankshaft pulley wobbles slightly. My questions are…

1. Since my crankshaft pulley is wobbling, would that cause my belt to slip off or would that be a belt tensioner issue?

2. Is my crankshaft pulley and harmonic balancer the same thing?

I got my GMC Terrain in April 2011, I first had a problem with the coil pack and now I am having problem with my oil, when I go and check my oil at 2 thousand miles the oil is low. Do I have to change my oil at 2 thousand miles instead of 3 thousand miles?

Should I buy a new car?

I'm curious to see what people would do in my situation, not saying I will take anyone's advice but I'm struggling with my decision.

I have a 2000 Chevy Malibu that I'm constantly fixing, it has 126,000 miles on it, and feel like I'm always putting gas in, but I'm a college student and drive 40 minutes to class. So now I'm stuck between fixing my car: Evap system, and crank shaft sensor CEL codes, or going with a monthly car payment for a new or used car if they can offer less than $200/month. Hopefully new because I can't make car payments AND fix a car…so, any thoughts?

I'm looking at KIA's, and the certified pre owned used cars they have on their lot. I just dont want my car to break down for at least two years.

Which is the best 2012 crossover?

admin — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 02:00:04 +0000

Thinking about buying a 2012 crossover but tired of visiting dealers and comparing features and prizes. Looking for something reliable for a family car ( rite now we´re only 2 adults and 1 baby ), unfortunately we don´t go out much but we travel to Kentucky twice a year ( we live in Chicago ). So far we´ve seen: Hyundai Tucson and Santa Fe, Ford Escape, Kia Sorrento and Sportage.

What would b ur choice? Thanx.

What happens when a car i bought has a lein on the title? Can I still have it in my name?

admin — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 13:48:08 +0000

My mother sold me her car. Its an old 2001 Kia spectra sedan. (worthless in other words— as per dealers from dealerships,.. I'm not sure about kelley blue book)

She has a lien on it though ($1,300 is all)… So what will happen when I go to DMV to have it all ready for my name for me to get the tags and whatnot? What should I bring? Will there be any additional costs?

(I already tried searching via my state (Arizona) DMV website, but its not turning up results anywhere near what i'm asking for…. www.azdot.gov)

Is buying an ex police volvo a good idea?

That depends what you intend to need the car for and for what Police duties it has been on. If it was a traffic car then I would not go near it.
