Mechanic recommended replacing transmission fluid, gasket and filter, as well as rear "pumpkinhead" gasket (no drain plug) and gear oil. Said transmission service kit will have gasket/filter. I have almost 35,000 miles and I know the Scheduled Maintenance Guide is for 30,000 miles to "change...

Just got back from shop, tires rotated among other things, and mechanic said I'm down to 5% on right front brakes (25% on left - ?); might have to turn rotor. This is at 34,000 miles. Is this normal wear? Any suggestions on what kind of pads to get? I'll but them myself and have them install...

Trying to decide on ONE efficient charity to donate to. Will potentially be collecting from many people so it's important that I find one that is efficient with a high donation:victim percentage. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I might have to leave the 04 trac for a month in my garage if I am deployed to N.O. What is best: having someone start it each week vs. disconnecting the battery vs. nothing. Thank you!

I assume the '04 white bumpers are painted vs. bare plastic. It seems like a big chip of paint is missing. Not sure what the "bumper cover" is; does that refer to the white plastic part you look at when you look at the rear of the car? Not always an option to back into spaces in these small...

I put an EE sway bar on and was really impressed with the difference in side-to-side handling, i.e. when changing lanes, etc. I honestly felt the vehicle was unsafe prior to this modification. I had to swerve at highway speed the other night to avoid a large box that flew out of a truck in front...

How do they work? My '04 is nearing 2 yrs old, and I heard from my mechanic they were not worth it unless the engine went. Sounds like maybe my mechanic was wrong. Can I still buy one? I have around 21K miles. Thanks.

20 yr. old college girl backs out into me while I'm backing out of a parking lot space.... So the rear bumper gets some chips in the white (paint??), and the whole thing is now a little cockeyed. Anyone know: A) what's involved in removing rear bumper for inspection/realignment, and, B) where...

Thanks for the replies! About the Kobey's Swap Meet ones, are they good quality? I don't have a lot of free time but if they are good and worth the price savings over the Dashmats sold online I might go. Also, any recommendations on windshield reflectors? Thanks!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good quality dash cover? I can't believe I have an '04 and still have not bought one yet here in San Diego. Thanks.

I've read too many post to count regarding intake systems: K+N, KKN, MAC, Airaid, Volant, etc., etc. I was wondering if anyone else was having trouble deciding and if there was a simple comparison of prices for the above and any other good ones. I understand that they're all probably good. I'm...

Thanks to those who responded to my oil question. I have found it increasingly difficult to find the Mobil 1 oil filter here in San Diego. There is a place that carries them but is out of the one I need (M1-210). K+N's are around ($2 more). I have only done a few oil changes, and plan on...
