The transmission has different gears— or speeds— to control how fast the wheels turn. As the wheels turn, they cause the car to move. To measure the speed of a car, one must be able to measure the rotational speed of either the wheels or the transmission and send that information to...

if possible, using the same type of antifreeze that was in the system. This information can be found in your Owners Manual, or it may be marked on the radiator cap or coolant reservoir. Or, use auniversal coolantthat is approved for ALL ...
The first step is to open the hood. However, don’t forget that the engine should be sufficiently cool before you remove the radiator cap or reservoir cap. If the engine is hot, give it at least an hour or longer to cool down before you attempt to check the coolant. Then, with your...
If the rotor has not been worn down too much, you will be able to see the size stamped right on the rotor itself. It will be in millimeters and usually on the wheel side of the rotor. Measure Diameter of Used Rotor Another way to get a good idea of the size of rotor you will ne...
Radiator/well-ventilated spot out of direct sunlight The Drying Process Place the cardboard on a desk. Spread the mushrooms out evenly across it. Make sure none of them are touching, as this can cause moisture to become trapped. Place the fan in position so it's blowing a constant airflow...
If the system does have pressure, slowly remove the coolant reservoir or radiator cap, a small amount of coolant may come out.2. Attach the Pressure TesterThe pressure tester will connect directly to the coolant reservoir or radiator while using an adapter which will be supplied inside the ...
where a 6 banger used to sit. He had all the power he ever needed, for a few minutes, until it started to overheat due to the small radiator. Ever larger batteries with ever more capacity will require ever bigger heat sinks, which will keep adding size and weight, for recharging as we...
The engine itself due to excessive vibration. On the truck used in this demonstration, the crossmember that supports the radiator provides a good location. On some vehicles, the frame rails provide a good mounting location. Be aware that rocks and road debris can affect the outside of the fr...
When the battery is very warm, it seems to stay awake longer (not necessarily using the chiller to cool it off, just running the pumps and going through the radiator). Now, stabilised could've meant "balanced" I suppose, which kind of makes sense in the post? But this doesn'...
