    Car Shudders While De-accelerating?

    <b>Would imbalanced tires and/or worn shocks on the front end make the steering feel *slightly* lagging in response, as well as vibrate the entire car during acceleration and de-acceleration?</b>

    Off-Road X or H on a V6?

    <b>I'm told that long (especially straight ones, as opposed to bendy ones) headers flow better than shorty headers - can I use the X-pipe with long headers, or will I have to use shorty headers? And how can I determine what headers go with which X-pipe, and which cat-back, etc?</b>

    Off-Road X or H on a V6?

    Thank you all for the replies! While I'm showing off my automotive newbness here, may I ask a few more questions? *What is the difference between a normal pipe (X or H), and an off-road pipe? *I know off-road pipes aren't 'street-legal' (whatever that means anymore)...a friend warned me...

    Off-Road X or H on a V6?

    Thanks for the replies. I'm in the process of building up my V6, and wanting to make it sound as good as possible, as well as have it running in the upper 300HP range - which is what led me to wonder about using an off-road. I was always told that X-pipes are more efficient and flow better, thus...

    Off-Road X or H on a V6?

    Just how loud would one be (I prefer an X-pipe over an H-pipe)? Would it sound good, or terrible? I'm looking for throaty and loud when I swap my exhaust system, but don't want to sound loud just for the sake of loud (like a lot of the exhaust systems you see/here on Caprice Classics these days)...

    Horrible Fuel economy!

    How does one turn the overdrive on and off? (yes, I know, dumb question....I'm more used to driving a standard than an automatic)

    Replacing The Oil-Sending Unit

    Just went to have my oil changed, and was told that I had a serious leak coming from a bad oil-sending unit (which, I've been told, are not the best from Ford). The part itself, I know, won't cost much, but what exactly goes into replacing it? I can't find anything on swapping it out for a new...

    Car Shudders While De-accelerating?

    My tires are new....I had them put on by Big10 Tires, then went back two weeks later for a front-end alignment (was having to seriously budget). They told me they couldn't do it unless I purchased two new inner tire rods, and I didn't have the money for that, so I didn't get the alignment...

    Car Shudders While De-accelerating?

    When I'm on the highway doing 60-90, my car shudders a good bit while de-accelerating - what is causing this, and what can I do about it (I'm pretty sure it can't be good)?

    PCV Delete Kits?

    From my limited understanding, the Positive Crankcase Valve is necessary for better fuel economy......I saw some PCV delete kits offered at vmptuning.com; what is the purpose/point in deleting the PCV? Perhaps this is a stupidly amatuer question, from a limited knowledge for which I apologize in...
