Why Is My Car Engine Overheating?
I have a 2000 Dodge Durango (5.9L) bought in November 2007. In late January 2008 we moved 700 miles. A week later the truck overheated for the first time. When we checked the radiator it was bone dry. After it cooled down we filled it up with radiator fluid. It was fine for a couple of months.

Convert Car To Run On Water
Water Car Conversion Plans
Water powered car or truck conversions are easier than you might think. The technology is in fact quite simple, as we'll see in a moment. And there's never been a better time to start seriously considering alternative fuel sources. World oil prices have risen steadily in recent months, and as a result, so have gas prices at your filling station. Add to that the global desire to reduce pollution, and you have the best reason yet to use water as a fuel source. So how does a water powered car work, and how do you convert yours?

Convert Car To Run On Water
Hydrogen Car Conversion Plans
Do you want to learn how you can convert your car to run on water? It might sound unbelievable, as I initially thought as well, until I went ahead to try it myself. There have been many previous attempts to create alternative fuel sources, like the electric car which ultimately failed. So is water really a viable source of energy for our cars?

Warning - Refinancing Your ARM Adjustable Rate Home Loan?
This guy spammed me today with this email solicitation. I am not in the home loan business, so I am not sure how I got on his email list. I was to say, slightly upset....disappointed rather in "the system". We have a housing/credit problem here in America and the problem seems to be getting worse. I am all for making a profit, and being an "American businessman" but I don't prey on my customers.

1998 Honda Accord Antifreeze Leaking From Engine
I have a 1998 Honda Accord LX 4 cylinder Sedan...I recently put a used transmission in and more recently had a used engine put in. Basically, the dealer misdiagnosed my vehicle and caused my engine to be in a more severe state than it needed to be and they put another engine in with no labor cost and 50% off the engine price...but now, my antifreeze is being exhausted at a very high rate.
