I fill my tires regularly with my air compressor in my garage, you know the one with the tank that never gets drained. So I was wondering, could the water vapor that accumulates in my tires every time I fill them freeze and cause them to be out of balance?

I had an ’87 Dodge Daytona that I bought a couple of years ago and to make a long, sad story short the top part of the engine was put back together wrong so it caught fire and died but I got to it in time with the hose so all of the parts (except for the engine of course) survived. I bought an ’89 Dodge Daytona recently and I was wondering what kind of parts would be useful to pull out of the old car since they are pretty much the same. I’m already taking the window louvers, tires, alternator, and air compressor out because they are things I know I’ll need. But I don’t know what else is handy to have that will save me a lot of money in the future when it goes out on my ’89.

Why are not all the greenies protesting this tool store for littering our country with useless junk? I tried to repair my jone year old air compressor (the awesome 30 day warranty expired) which was used about three times to fill tires and found out after calling them that they no longer parts for these but they’re still selling the compressors. Disposable tools, but the tree huggers are protesting
grocery bags and letting china ruin our country with this trash? Now I must throw it in the landfill because it’s useless.

I was working in the garage at my bench just now. It is late. It is quiet. I heard a low buzzing sound. I thought it was the neighbors air compressor filling up maybe, but that wasn’t it. I finally deduced that the sound was coming from the rear of my girlfriends car. It almost sounded like the tires were inflating a little bit or something because the car was also making noises as if the suspension was moving. It was definitely a mechanical sound, not like a leak or anything. It stopped after about 2 minutes. Any ideas?

First of all, don’t laugh if I’m not using the exact terminology : I’m not a mechanic !
Now, the problem is that my 99 Alero air conditioning compressor went off. I heard a squealing in the engine, I took my car to the mechanic and he said the A/C compressor needed to be replaced but it was extremely expensive. He said that – maybe – he can make a bypass and I won’t have A/C anymore but that will prevent the belt drive from falling apart one day.
I don’t wanna blow a bundle over this cheap-ass car because I have to go back to Europe in July and I will have to sell it by then. I paid 2,500$ for the car and I already paid to have new tires (I had a flat tire first, and I decided to change them all) and a new tie rod end…Enough !
My question is : what will eventually happen if I leave it like that ?
Is the bypass operation really effective ?
I already had the answers by two mechanics, but I’d like to hear from you since you are not financially involved in this operation, if you see what I mean…

I bought an Infiniti G35 with custom rims not too long ago, i went to check the tire pressure and found out the front rims’ tire valve doesnt clear the rim enough to seat the air compressor. I need to fill up my tires. Any thoughts?

I found some electric impact wrenches for sale online. I’d like an impact wrench, but don’t want to buy a large air compressor.. would an electric one be a usable alternative? It would just be used occasionally, like once every couple weeks when I rotate my family’s tires, change pads, etc.. Thanks.
