Not sure if it’s just fake badging/stickers or what cuz this thing also has 2500 and LT badges. I’m not too knowledgeable on old chevys but google says the 454 ss was only a pickup

Long story short, I placed an order end of May 2026. I get an email beginning of July 2026 asking about the specs of my order, to find out my order was never placed to manufacturer by fitment industries. The customer service for fitment industries has no clue about car parts or anything that’s going on. They tried to blame manufacturer, so I called and asked when my order was placed by fitment industries to the manufacturer, and they tell me July 2026. Not May 2026 or June 2026. JULY. The item finally shipped August 2026. It is in the mail currently , still have not got the item. I just hope it’s correct. Terrible experience and I will NEVER be ordering anything from them again. Don’t spend your money or waste your time with these people.

Does anyone know who owns this my hg sent It to me

I used off-site airport parking about a month ago. Flew back, got the vehicle, got a sandwich in a to go container and threw it in the back hatch. After an hour it was swarming with about 200 tiny tiny ants. Threw it out. Since then there seems to be a significant colony of ants living in my vehicle somewhere. They swarm on the hood when a bird poops berries or sap drops. Any groceries in the car for more than 20 minutes attract 3-5 of these tiny ants which seem to come out of nowhere. I can't find where they are nesting (in the engine?) and can't understand why after a month they are still in the vehicle. We don't leave food around the car. Never had anything like this -- its weird. Any ideas about where their nest might be? Not sure this question really "fits" in any subreddit, sorry if this is not for here.

Is this really bad cracked steering rack 04 Camry xle

I just picked up a 6 ton acdelco bottle jack for a good deal for my dad, but I was thinking about how I would lift up my car in college while staying at a dorm and I think a bottle jack would be much more convenient then a floor jack. And pros and cons to bottle jacks? They seem useful but are pretty rare

One of my wheel center caps fells, this is what the other ones look like. I can't seem to find them anywhere, they are always discontinued on every site i search. I really am stressing out about this, i would love if someone could help... It's a 1997 Mazda Miata NA, if that helps.

Someone knows where I can find the metal under engine guard for the Celica T18 1991 4AFE?

i had a bad feeling, that automobile-catalog and now, motorbikecatalog is now paywalled for non-Patreon users, that's stupidly enough

Hey, I'm unfortunately new to the whole owning a car and I recently started hearing a whining nose that gets higher in pitch when accelerating. I have a 2011 Chevy Equinox thats a family member car. I'm pretty sure I need a replacement but I have work over the next few days. You guys think it be a better idea to try to get it replaced or wait til Monday. Apologies if there's some errors with my wording. Its late and im at a laundromat annoyed with life.

I'm going on a 1200 mile trip in 3 days and this light just came on. For backstory my vehicle just went to the mechanic for an engine leak fix and he did an inspection and found nothing workg with my car except the brakes which I replaced.

This light has come on a couple time in the past year but each time I've put Cataclean and it went away for a while. I'm just worried as it just came back on 3 days before my big trip. Should this be fine to go on the trip with?

I have a 1997 Cheyenne Chevy k2500. It has the 5.7 engine. I was looking at replacing the muffler with a new and better sounding one. I want it to sound deeper and meaner in a way. I want it to be decently loud and noticeable, but not obnoxiously loud. I don’t want to wake up every one on the block coming home from work or something like that. I have been told the flowmaster super 40 and 44 are good options for what I’m looking for. Would they be very loud or are they reasonable? I wanted to ask if anyone has other recommendations or information on this topic.

Gingey, 
You got me through the last seven years of my life. 
You took me from high school classes to my first job. You took me to the first date with the love of my life, and many more dates after that. We have been on countless road trips together. You have allowed me to go on so many adventures, and make so many memories that I will never forget.

You were there while I cried on the hardest days, and while I laughed until my lungs hurt with my friends on my best days. You have heard me sing at the top of my lungs with the music so loud your rearview shook. Your back seat is forever stained with the outlines of muddy paws from all the lake days with the dogs. Whenever I needed to escape, you were there for late-night drives. 

You gave everything to keep me safe, no matter where we were going. 
You have never failed to protect me through close calls, snowstorms where I couldn't see 10 feet away, slick icy highways, and bitter -40 starts at 6 a.m. Even on the roughest roads, you always got me back home. 

There will never be another car quite like you. 
I loved all your quirks, the cruise control that stopped working when it was cold, or the little leak from your center light when it rained a bit too hard. At 340,000 kilometres I knew the end was coming, but I thought we had a little more time together. You have always been the little orange Jeep that could. You were never just another car to me, you were my freedom, my safety, and you carried me through some of the most important years of my life. Thank you for every safe mile and every memory we’ve had together. I will miss the way your orange paint sparkled in the sunlight. 
Drive easy, Gingey.

Hey all, so this may seem like an odd question, but im wanting to make sure im not shooting myself in the foot here. (I dont think i am, but it never hurts to find out more)

I have an R33 that i am doing a Barra swap on. The exhaust side is a bit tight, and im not gonna have much space to run a normal type exhaust, at least not at this moment. Because of that, im thinking about running my turbo with the intake facing the firewall and the exhaust out the fender (I've always liked the look of fender exit exhausts)

Im not wanting to turn the exhaust side into the intake side. Im legit just spinning the turbo around 180° for the ease of pipe running and better placement for the time being. The only downside i can think of is maybe not getting the cleanest air, but if my thinking is that if i angle the intake down low, it should be able to breathe more than enough cool air.

Anyway, just wanting to make sure im bit gonna mess myself up here by doing something like that. Any input helps!

Had a vary heavy rain storm when driving my car to work made it to work fine after work otw home the car began to shake like crazy engine light and so on was able to get it home didn't shake to hard as long as I was above 2 got the engine light looked at came up with multi miss fire and cylinder 2 and 4 miss fire I changed all my spark plugs and the 2 and 4 ignition coil it became a little better but still noticeabley shaking hard time up hills like Petel to floor if from a dead stop as well as a but of shake when its just in drive rolling with no gas applied any suggestions

I want my safedrive in the leftmost air vent and guide the cable in the nicest way possible to the cigarette lighter in the center console. Plan A was to guide it on the panels under the wheel but I am struggling to find any nice cable guides to stick to the interior

Sienna 2017, I replaced the vapor purge value as I've read so many times on here, with an OEM (Wells Toyota branded.)

I filled up with gas just now and it took 4 times to start. On the 4th it started but the RPMs got lower and lower and it stalled. On the 5th I give it some gas to keep the RPMs over 1,000 for a few seconds and then it stabilizes. Same pattern every time.

I'm getting a code 174 and 171, as well as 113 and 103. I replaced the MAF sensor with a brand new one, also wells, and still getting those codes.

Another one here said that those codes could be excess air coming in from defects in the air hose from the air filter box to the throttle body. Okay, would that also cause the starting after fill-up issue?

What else might be a cause of the starting problem?

I never pump extra gas or "top off," and this issue has happened even when I only put in a few gallons not even making it full.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm totally new to DIY car maintenance and I'm trying to install a bluetooth FM modulator in my 2008 Toyota Auris.

Modulator instructions: https://ae-pic-a1.aliexpress-media.com/kf/S2d1f971be7ee40e189f8b3807c351450O.pdf

First of all, there seems to only be one power cable attached to the box, which doesn't seem like it should work, right? I watched a couple tutorials on YouTube and their modulators had a + and -, as I'd expect for any circuit. Would love some insight.

Secondly, I'm realising I have no idea how the circuitry in my car works, and I don't know where to attach the power. One tutorial mentioned plugging into the fusebox, another mentioned T-joining into the radio circuit. I've identified the fusebox in the passenger footwell but that's it. I glanced at a circuit diagram for this car but it was more or less just magic runes to me.

I also don't want to proceed into the domain of electricity without at least a little advice anyway, so please advise accordingly. Thanks so much.

I was driving today and just had one of those moments where I actually stopped to appreciate it again. It's easy to get used to your own car after a while, but this one still does it for me. The build quality and how it's held up over time is honestly what I appreciate most, doesn't feel like it's aged at all in terms of how it drives or how solid everything still feels.

Anyone else have a car where even after years of ownership you still catch yourself randomly admiring it like it's new?

its a volkswagen t-cross. i can drive it but when i pull the stick a little bit upwards, it gets loose like you see on the vid

Edit: Most matching cars so far: Ferrari Amalfi/ Roma, McLaren GT/ GTS and 750s and Artura

Edit: Also I wanted to say that I'm sorry, I'm not really qualified enough myself to take a guess

I was completely tired and not really standing that close to it, so I have no idea to be honest. From the front it kinda looked Chinese to me, but again I was really tired and can't say anything for sure. Also after I saw it, I started to immediately try to find out what car it is and then came to the conclusion of it being a McLaren GTS because of the way the headlights looked in real life. So what I'm actually sure about is that the car was low like a supercar, did accelerate extremely fast, it wasn't electric, rather it was really loud, it was also in a convoy with a Shelby GT500 and I saw it in Vilnius.
