Front brake pads provide up to 70% of vehicle stopping power. In general, front brake pads wear out twice as fast as rear brake pads, 2 to1. Disc brakes have a definite braking power advantage over drum style Brakes and performance is not compromised as much when wet. Some disc brakes utilize cooling fins in-between the braking surfaces to maximize cooling efficiency. Replacing brake discs can vary depending on the make and model of car or truck, two wheel or four wheel drive. Always replace brake rotors with top quality or OEM (original equipment manufacturer) brake rotors, some less expensive brake rotors can squeak and not dissipate heat as well because of there inferior metal quality. (Always wear protective safety goggles and gloves before work begins)

Imagine this; it’s the end of your work day, you get into your car, which almost 100k miles on and few years old, the weather is hot, and you get stuck, in traffic. Fifteen minutes later, you only made it 3 miles far from where you started and suddenly, the BAD thing starts happening. Well, you look at your dashboard panel and you notice that the temperature gage is getting close to the ‘red zone’. Soon the temperature is getting higher and higher. So, what do you do?First of all, pull over to the side of the road but DO NOT turn the car off, keep it running. Yes, keep it running and get out and check under the car to see if you see any water leakage, if you do. Then turn the car off, open the hood slowly and see where the water is coming from. Is it a hose that is punctured, or is it from the side or under the engine? If it’s a hose, this is a simple fix. If it’s the other, this is an expensive fix because your water pump just went off. If you see no leakage under the car, go back and start your air condition at low. This should get the temperature down really fast. And should get you far enough to any close mechanic.

A vehicle’s air filter is a replaceable cleansing unit. In most cases an air filter can be replaced in under 5 minutes. The air cleaner in your car or truck should be changed every 3,000 miles or sooner depending on driving conditions. Changing your air filter is easy! Remember, always use protective eye wear and gloves when doing any car repair . First locate the air filter housing; this is where the air filter element resides. To locate the air filter housing look for the engine air intake tube. Next, remove the air filter housing retainer clips or screws and remove the air filter housing top. Replace the old air filter with a new air filter and reassemble.be sure you clean out any leaves or debris inside the air filter housing upon reassembly

1. Locate and replace the fuel filter
A vehicle’s fuel filter is used to keep the fuel that is used in the fuel injection system clean to avoid plugging the fuel injectors and the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel filter should be changed between 25,000 and 35,000 miles depending on driving conditions. First locate and identify the fuel filter , all vehicles are different so you might have to look around for it. Some are under the hood and others are under the car or truck.
If you are unsure were your fuel filter is located then you:

The engine misses when cold or hot and black smoke and soot come out of the exhaust. I get three codes from the computer; 157,158,159 all deal with the mass airflow sensor. I’ve replaced the sensor and this still does not cure the problem. What else could be wrong?
Answer: Check the catalytic converter as it may be plugged. When a converter is plugged, the pressure in the exhaust system builds up to the point that the intake vacuum drops. This causes the mass airflow sensor to think there is a problem in the engine and set a code.
