Twice I have had full lights and accessories but no crank. After waiting a few minutes it starts normally. Battery terminals look clean. What would you want to measure during the actual failure?
This started as a small annoyance and I finally decided to track it down. 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS, about 151,500 miles. Pads and rotors were replaced recently and stopping performance is good, but t…
Front tires look fine from the outside but the inner shoulders are nearly done. Car is lowered a little. I'd rather fix the alignment than just keep buying tires—what measurements should I ask the sh…

At steady speed with light throttle I get a vibration that feels almost like driving over fine rumble strips. It disappears if I accelerate. What's the cleanest way to separate wheel/tire issues, cyl…
Certain bumps can start a violent steering oscillation that stops only after slowing down. I want a diagnostic checklist for joints, track bar, caster and wheel/tire condition rather than a stronger…
2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ 6.2, about 77,000 miles. The car is smooth at the same road speed when I lift off, but under moderate acceleration I can feel a vibration through the floor. What wou…
1972 Chevrolet C10, about 194,000 miles. A windshield was replaced and now there is a whistle around highway speed that did not exist before. Glass looks seated. Any simple way to locate the air leak…
2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT, about 100,500 miles. Ride height looks right, but the car now feels busier over broken pavement.
On repeated pulls I can feel the car soften as temperatures rise. Would you prioritize an intercooler before adding more boost, even if the current setup is otherwise stock? Trying to diagnose before…
2018 Chevrolet Tahoe LT, about 119,000 miles. The car is smooth around town, but there is a noticeable steering-wheel vibration in a narrow highway speed range. It gets better again above that speed.…
I can feel a small click through the seat base during left-right transitions. Bolts appear tight and the seat motor works. Anyone found a common way to isolate whether the play is in the rail, frame,…

I want smaller winter wheels for more sidewall. Overall tire diameter can stay close, but I am worried about caliper and spoke clearance. What measurements should be checked before ordering? Mostly l…
2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT, about 169,500 miles. After a software update the screen occasionally reboots and one saved setting keeps resetting. Is there a normal post-update reset procedure own…
Bought a cheap project because the shell was solid, and now the 'small stuff' list is longer than the drivetrain list. How do you guys prioritize safety/reliability, fabrication, cosmetics and power…

2024 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51, about 28,500 miles. The reservoir goes from full to low over several weeks. No puddle, oil looks normal, and I cannot find dried coolant around the hoses. Is a p…
After owning the car for a while, tires, insurance and service pricing mattered more than the MPG difference I obsessed over before buying. What ownership costs surprised you most?
