Ford - F450 - Batteries :: Smoke Comes Out Of Engine
This is a RV; 2003 Winnebago Itasca 29B. It is a E450 Super Heavy Duty chassis with a 6.8 liter V-10. I hooked the battery up backward and smoke came out of engine. In my brilliance I tried to start the engine as well. Now the alternator doesn't charge and the ignition does not start the engine. I had a mechanic put in a manual start that requires the ignition turned on and a screw driver.

Today my v-10's front air suspension broke? while driving at 65 on a freeway i heard a metal clunk like the sound of a manhole cover slightly ajar being run over, but no impact on the wheel, just this sound , i do not believe i hit anything it just happened out of the blue. after another 5 minutes or so i noticed my front end seemed different, and then i got a priority one red triangle message to STOP with a message about wheels or brake or something. i pulled over and saw that the front end was lower than I've ever seen it. i made it to a dealer a couple of miles later and the front end was as low as it could go with the rear up at the normal height. no leakage no visible damage its just screwed up. I've got 21,000 miles on it and i do drive a little aggressive.

I wish my 09 had Bluetooth for music. I know there was a TSB for it but I was wondering if I can do an easy fix myself to remedy the whining noise you get through the speakers when you use both the aux cord and a charger at the same time while driving.
View 2 RepliesCavalier - Vibration - Chevrolet :: 1992 - Rumble And Vibrate While Idling In Drive
1992 Chevy Cavalier, about 120,000 miles. A few months ago my car has started to rumble and vibrate while idling in drive. It only occurs while I'm in drive and completely stopped. If I change to neutral or park, it immediately goes away. Also, if I'm in drive, keep my foot on the brake and give it a little gas, the vibration goes away. I've changed the spark plugs, had the throttle body cleaned (not very thoroughly) and my mechanic said my engine mounts look fine and to not worry too much about it. Is this a problem I can ignore as an inconvenience or should I put more effort into getting this fixed?
View 2 RepliesLexus - Doors - Noises :: RX450h SUV Rattles Only When Temp Around Freezing
2010 Lexus Rx450h... Rattles in the morning, only when really cold. (Around freezing?). Somewhere in or near the passenger side door, or the air vent by that door. It gets quiet(er) after warmup. Car has been at the dealer for a week... They can't find it; they want to pack in additional insulation. That hardly sounds like a sound solution.
View 2 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: Front End Squeaks And Crunching With Just Going Over Bumps
For the past year I've had the front end squeaks and crunching from my 06 Sonata LX with 97k miles. It started with just going over bumps, then progressed to basically any movement of the body up and down. It's worse in the cold, but an issue all year.
I just did shocks and struts all around, with the mounts. Didn't affect the sounds at all. At 97k, the original shocks/struts were woefully dead. At least the car rides 10x better now.
Yesterday I changed out the sway bar end links with Moog K80949's. It does sound like some of the "crunching" is gone, and now we're back to just squeaking. I think even some of the constant squeaking over fairly normal roads is gone.
So, what's up next? The FSM suggest the lower control arm, which I'd prefer not to do. Sway bar bushings could be an option, but they looked kind of like a PITA to get to.

View 2 RepliesLincoln - Steering :: 1976 - Clicking / Clunking Sound When Wheel Actually Moves The Tires
I have a significant amount of play in my steering wheel, and I notice a clicking/clunking sound in the steering wheel when the steering actually moves the tires. This makes it very hard to drive in a straight line, and that's kind of important when your car is 19 feet long . Is there anything that could be cheaply/easily fixed to remedy this?

Ford - Ranger :: 1994 - Coolant Leak Originate From The Driver Side
I seem to have a coolant leak somewhere - i changed the oil yesterday and while i was at it i topped off the coolant in the recovery tank to the cold line. Took the truck out for about a half hour then parked it over night. when i came out this morning i found a pretty sizable puddle on the ground, seeming to originate from the drivers side, and when i checked the radiator it was low but the coolant recovery tank was full past the cold line...i let idle today for about a half hour then let it cool down trying to catch it in the act but saw nothing. if i trace the source of the puddle it seems to be coming from the cap area or at least that side of the compartment. would this be the radiator cap itself? allowing coolant to boil over and out but not get sucked back in? Since I've had the truck i have noticed a small, very small, amount of coolant on the ground now and again but this is the first big puddle.
