Occasionally my battery goes dead very suddenly.. I can charge it for a bit, then it starts fine & will hold a charge for quite a while..days, even weeks. ( I don't drive it very often, so thought it was going dead from just sitting) I used my small multi-meter to check the voltage after chargin...

Transmission oil Cooler..

Planning to install a transmission cooler on my 2000 Astro. Lots of comments on Tru-Cool, a few on Hayden. My local NAPA store has Rapid Cool ATP in stock, not sure of which model, for $68.49.. Anybody here used Rapid Cool or have an opinion?

Widow Screens.

Has anyone found or made window screens for the side pop-out windows. looking for something to keep bugs out and for very short periods, my cat in. I've seen the link posted before for "Skeeter Beaters" (is that right?) but it doesn't really say if they're for the front door windows or the...
