S-10 Thermostat Replacement
This vehicle is overheating. The temperature would climb slowly so the first logical thing to replace is the thermostat. A thermostat is not very expensive and is much easier to change than a water pump. They can be tested by boiling water and seeing if it opens. Due to the low effort and price its normally easier to just replace it. This vehicle is a GMC sonoma/ chevy s 10 with a 4.3 liter v6. Changing a thermostat is almost the same on any vehicle though, so dont be too concerned about what vehicle it is.

Miata Catback Exhaust Swap
This is an aftermarket catback exhaust swap on a 1996 mazda miata as shown to the left. All exhaust swaps will be similar with only small differences. Reasons for an exhaust swap can be a leaking stock exhaust or maybe just to have an increase in horsepower. Another good reason to replace the stock exhaust with an aftermarket one is the material used in aftermarket catback exhausts. The material used is generally stainless steel which will never rust as a stock one will. Horsepower increases will vary depending on the stock systems flow and if the engine is turbocharged or naturally aspirated.
Saving Gas by Improving Mileage
If you can’t get or afford the price of gas and your fuel gauge looks like this often, you might want to try some different ideas to save gas or improve mileage. First always make sure your car is running as good as it can. This can be done by performing a tune up which generally consists of spark plugs, plug wires, air filter, fuel filter, and distributor cap and rotor if applicable. If you have a fuel injected car and the check engine light is on you may have a problem that is costing you a lot of extra fuel. The car will then be running in a “limp” mode which usually consists of using extra fuel for the safety of the engine. Things such as the oxygen sensor (o2) will cause the engine to use extra gas also
