Can I swap an engine on my own, with some help of course?

I have a 1996 Dodge Stratus and the engine blew from the oil leaking out of it. I found an engine for $450ish with 62,000 miles on it and wanted to know if it's hard to swap it. Auto Zone supplies a guide on how to do it and even loans me the two main tools I need. Of course I can't spend too much since I'm a college student, so I'm trying to cut as a lot of cose plus I only spent $1000 to buy the car. If it's not a good idea, is there a cheap way to get it done?

If you're mechanically inclined it's a weekend job.

Suggestions:

-Make sure you take pictures of how everything connects before you take anything apart.

-If there are different size fastners holding a part on, draw a picture of the mounting diagram on a piece of cardboard, poke holes in it and put the bolt is their places.

-Lable both sides of every connection, line, tube, fitting you take apart.

-Put all the fastners in baggies for each individual thing you remove or take apart. Lable them.

-Draw around the bolt heads that go to the motor mounts, radiator support, etc. with a black marker so it's easy to aline things when you put it back together. It's particularly important on front wheel drive cars that you line the engine back up properly so it is centered in the engine bay.

-Take your drive axles out and remove the engine and trans together. It's SO much easier to get the dam thing back together outside the car.

-Make sure you connect the negative battery cable AFTER you connect the positive one.

You can do it yourself so go for it the only time you will need some help is when you are using he lifting gear to pull it out and to put the new one in~~

Can I swap an engine on my own, with some help of course?

Just telling you now, it will take a hell of a lot of work, and you have to know what you are doing. I just helped a friend do that same thing not too long ago, and it is a pain. Takes forever, and like i said HARD work. It can be done but if you make the littlest mistake then it can mess ever thing up on your car. If i was you i would just buy a new car.

If you have a little mechanical knowlege , yes you can swap them . Be careful to unplug all wireing harnesses , take all hoses lose that run from the motor to the body . Mark these and where they go to and from with masking tape . Write the information on the masking tape for ease to reinstall . Use sealers to put all hoses back on ! Hook the engine hoist to the block ! Be careful !!! Take your time ! Photos of your progress may be very helpful later when Installing the newer engine . Go by the book ! AutoZone has a book made for your Year %26amp; Model

If you are reasonably mechanicly minded its not hard at all.providing you have tools,time and a place to do it youll be sweet.as the other dude sed,the only time you should need a hand is when you come to pull the old one out n put the newy in

Its going to take a while to do the whole swap, but first off, why is the engine so cheap? strange... but anyawy, Its a pain in the *** and its difficult, Good lucking doing it, but if i was you i'd call a friend who knows about cars, becasue this shouldnt be done by people who dont know.

What about this for an Immigration plan?

The thing that I dont understand is why those who want this amnesty dont care about America workers? You never here any of them say we should protect American workers 1st. Why is that? What about American workers wages, middle class and the working poor, this amnesty will insure that there wages will never raise in their lifetime.

This whole debate is such a shame. Immigration is so easy to fix they just dont want to do it. 3 or 4 phases.

Phase 1. Legislate all the money.

New border patrol agents, Interior enforcment agents, Border fence and new technology for virtual fence, computer system for tracking everyone who enters and leaves the country, employment verification system, imigration judges. End the latchkey kid program and Amend the constitution stating for birthright citizenship 1 parent must be a US citizen. Birthright citizenship had to do with slavery it wasnt meant for this. Pass a law making fines 1 million dollars for each Illegal you hire + 1 million a day for every day it can be proved the Illegal worked for you + revoke your business lic. and never allow you to get another.

After all this is done and operational were ready to move to phase 2.

Phase 2.

Give business community amnesty from this point until Phase 3 is finished so they can comply. The new fines are meant for after this whole process is set up anyway. However it doesnt give them amnesty from any investigation that was going on before this time.

Require all Illegals to register so we can find out the true # here, ( I bet if the estimate is 10-20 million there is somewhere between 25-35 million.) also all employers must verify all their workers. Let it be know that any Illegal who doesnt register if caught in the country after the registation process is done you will deported within 24 hours and put on a banned for life list from ever entering the country again.

Once employers know how many Illegals they have, make them list all the jobs on a goverment Immigration website where it must stay for 5 business days so that any American citizen who wants one of those jobs can have them. Get every community organization involved especially in inner cities where their is high unemployment. The goverment can offer small relocation loans and for low income people grants to anyone who wants to take one of these jobs but maybe doesnt have any money to go to them. Just talking like a couple hundred dollars enough to get them their and keep them fed until they get a check. (Gas money,food stamps for a 2 weeks) somethng like that.

Phase 3

Now with any job left the companies can apply for temp workers to fill those postions, but every 6 months they must relist any job held by a temp worker. Now that we see what this countries worker needs are now we could look at whether we need to keep the temp workers just that, temp or are these permenant jobs where we need to put more people on a path to become citizens. Temp workers should be temp, I like the work 2 years them go home for 1 thats not to bad an idea. Also we need to go to the point based system where the countries needs come before family ties.

I know there might be a few other things we need to do also but this plan would protect American workers and give American citizens the 1st chance at any job in this country. We do need some workers and I am totally for legal immigration but instead of blanket amnesty for everyone the countries needs should drive the Immigration process. Also you should only be able to apply to be a temp worker from your home country. It should be balanced worldwide not just to mainly Mexican citizens.

For all those that favor amnesty and Mexican and other foreign citizens over American citizens, are all the 20+ million Illegals in this country right now working? The answer is NO. Go to any day labor gathering spot any day of the week and when you add them all up there are millions of Illegals just standing around with no job hoping someone might hire them for the day. But even those peolpe under the amnesty plan get to stay. Thats for only 1 reason, more cheap labor to lower American citizens wages.

What about this for an Immigration plan?

Very impressive. ..and believe me when I tell you that I don't say that very often, especially in discourse on this topic.

3 things:

1) $1 million fines? This seems too steep for an employer that was conned by the documentation presented by the employee. Not all cases of employment of illegals is with the knowledge of the employer. Fake docs are easy to come by. ...and will be, unless we create a police state.

Only hitting 'knowing' employers with steep fines would be acceptable to me.

2) If the loss of the excessive supply of cheap labor does lead to wage increases for actual citizens, more jobs will go 'overseas', unless trade regulations are instituted that demand importers to pay wages commensurate to U.S. wages.

3) The plan is far to sane to have a chance at implementation.

However, let me know when you run for office, if I am in your district, you will probably get my vote.

What about this for an Immigration plan?

Not bad but I think just enforcing our current laws properly and swiftly would get our country back into shape quicker and Americans workers can do as they want since this is our free country!

What about this for an Immigration plan?

I like this well enough to recommend you send a copy to all congress members! I am afraid it makes so much sense and is so pro American they would never consider it. The abomination they are trying to pass, S1348, is not dead yet and may be voted on this week. We all need to fight this country killer! Estimated costs 2.6 TRILLION and counting! No provision for funding any parts but some small stuff and no plan at all for providing infrastructure! This bill would turn us into another Mexico complete with poverty and corruption and in a very short time!

What about this for an Immigration plan?

Why do you believe that raising wages for workers without getting any additional value in return is a good thing? On the countrary, it's a horrible thing... If the wages rise, the prices rise for everything you buy (other than Chinese goods). Do you really want that? Immigrants is not the problem here, in fact, unless you are able to re-train American workers to have higher-valued skills, you'll never help them.

Economists have a name for what you are trying to propose: protectionism. And, according to wast world experience, most of the time you practice it by interfering with a normal market you generally regret it later.

first of all, employment in very low here in the US. and they just came out with a study that both legal and illegal immigrants help wages go up.

Credit and computer buying question?

I do not have much estableshed credit. I have two student loans that are reporting 90 days late from 5 years ago, but have been payed off and closed for 3 years. I'm trying to build my credit, but I dont really like credit cards, and I need a new computer. So, I was thinking of financing on through Apple's credit company.

My question is two fold, would I likely be approved? I really dont want to take another hit to my score by being denigned.

Would it increase my score? I really just need a cheap laptop, but would love to have an excuse to buy an nice MacBook Pro.

Credit and computer buying question?

Level of debt, ability to pay, and demonstration of a willing to pay all debts are the prime factors they look for when financing a loan. Stability is another factor, if you change jobs or move around , it can be an issue. Otherwise, If you have no debt and have paid all your loans off, you should have no trouble getting a loan.

However, If all you need is a cheap laptop, I think it would be better in the long run to to buy the cheap laptop and bank the difference between the payments you would have made on the Mac Book Pro and the payments you make on the cheap laptop (if any). In a few years, you most likely be able to buy the Mac Book Pro or a best system for cash.

As a general rule, never buy a depreciating asset on credit.

My exceptions are when there is no cost for the credit(rarely the case as there is no free lunch and free financing may just mean you pay more for the item), when the asset is needed for a income related activity (job related) or when own the asset will save you more money than the interest/depreciation cost

Does anyone really think it's OK for Illegal immigrants to sneak in to our country and drain ou

Cheap labor my butt. They have no health ins. so we pay for that. They pay no soc sec. no property taxes. Rarely have auto ins. are allowed to buy property and default on loans with no recourse or prosecution. Commit crimes and are just sent back accross the border. What's wrong with this picture. How incredibly stupid can we be to say it's ok.

Does anyone really think it's OK for Illegal immigrants to sneak in to our country and drain our resources.

Ya some people do think it's OK. NOT ME! Our government is a disgrace to our founding fathers and all our ancestors who died in battle for our right to sit here and discuss this issue freely. Our government has forgotten what it is to be an American. The care our government offers illegal immigrants is a spit in the face of my grandfathers, my widowed grandmothers and orphaned cousins. Respect and gratitude for the sacrifices and pledges to our American Flag is almost gone. We're turning into a country of sissy's scared of a few years of hard economical stress. Our compassion is misplaced. I'm not afraid of the hard times we may go through if we send them all back where they came from. My hard times are already here, an illegal stole my identity, ruined my credit and got my taxes this year. I struggled for months to get a min. wage job and was beat out over and over again by illegals cuz I don't speak spanish and wouldn't fit in. I don't make enough $ to buy health insurance for myself and my kid but I make too much to get health care for free. I'm deep in debt and have not been offered a single break. F*** this S***! What do I have to be afraid of? Economical set back in this country for a few years is the better sacrifice for me. At least I'd stand a chance of living out my last years with the pension I've earned and a hope for my grand children's future. Wow I need to catch a breath, LOL.

Does anyone really think it's OK for Illegal immigrants to sneak in to our country and drain our resources.

its not ok to come illegally. and they dont drain our resources. the us population is far more than 13 million or so. are you really telling me that 13 million people are really putting a strain on everything in the US? then the US could hardly handle the rest of us.

because of people like you the american dream is dead. seriously. every time some person starts complaining about immiogrants coming to the US (illegal or not) theyre pretty much shoveling another lump of dirt o nthe american dream. its dead.

now its just the white people being racist and greedy.

I am so tired of illegal Mexicans coming over here and taking everything that they aren't entitled to. Do you think they have any respect at all for us? NO!!! THEY SUCK.

I just watched this really really bad movie on HBO about an hour ago..

All the Mexicans in California Dissapear, and the whole film there are statistics being flashed on the screen about mexicans and how they contribute to our society. It was the most GAY, LAME, movie i ever saw.. it was called like

Un Dia sin mexicanos..

You gotta watch it..the whole movie is laughable..

There may be others who view it differently. I believe the real trouble is more than that you think but they have pretty much control it and meet in the middle of the moral/economic dillema so dont be too personally selfish just take it as it is.

more then 80% of our country's businesses, markets, etc, are owned by these so called illegal immigrants. if you had told them to leave, USA would have a second wall street crash, or sumthing like that.

and dont speak about ppl like that! you don;t know their real story. by now, they are more educated then you whole blooded americans.

This is my take on this subject, the Founding Fathers went to war for this country, we know that history, the slaves endured, we know that history, we as TRUE AMERICANS HAVE SUFFERED A GREAT LOST FOR AMERICA,WE HAVE PAID A GREAT PRICE FOR AMERICA, HOW CAN YOU CALL YOUR SELF AN AMERICAN AND HAVE NOT DONE SUCH FOR AMERICA, YOU CAN'T JUST WALK INTO AMERICA ON THE SUFFERINGS OF OTHERS AND CLAIM HER, TO HOLD HER HOSTAGE, IT'S NOT OK.

Does anyone really think it's OK for Illegal immigrants to sneak in to our country and drain our resources.

It is not ok. you cannot go to their country and get the same red carpet roll out. Our country does not care about its citizens the way other countries care for their people. We give them lobster, while we get beans! It is not sensible, we pay the bill for them while they enjoy the fruits of our labor. The US government is quite unfair to its own people. It is a SLAP IN OUR FACE! WAKE UP U.S., you persecute child abuser;s, which you are also classified as a child abuser. abusing your own children with a lack of care while you care for other peoples' children.

Does anyone really think it's OK for Illegal immigrants to sneak in to our country and drain our resources.

I live in UK and our ratio of illegal immigrants is far higher than the US. I think that we should let them come, and make them legal immigrants. They stimulate the economy and create new jobs. Plus, if we make them legal, they'll pay their taxes, and obey the laws like everyone else.

Unlike South Africa and British India, Malaysia panicked when Dato' Seri Anwar, after his dismissal as Deputy Prime Minister, took to the streets. Within months of his arrest, the then US vice president, Mr Al Gore, came to Kuala Lumpur with a stirring speech to support the Reformasi movement Dato' Seri Anwar unleashed.

He lost the US presidential election to President George W Bush.

In the spirit of Al Gore, I commend you for the courage to take a stand against illegal immigrants and wish you well in your brave struggle to reform America.

You and others like you are destined to lose your arguments because you really do not understand the bigger picture.

Does anyone really think it's OK for Illegal immigrants to sneak in to our country and drain our resources.

Well no one should come into the U.S. illegally. Blaming immigrants in general though for the country's problems is entirely different. The majority of people in America now are descendants from immigrants. I'm a Native American and if anyone should be p*ssed off about people coming in and draining the resources it should be people like me. Instead I say give them a chance. My husbands parents both came from Mexico as children. They now OWN a house have steady jobs (which they pay soc sec with) and their children have done the same to become productive citizens of the U.S. Change the immigration laws. Make it easier for them to become citizens they should have a chance at the dream too.

Does anyone really think it's OK for Illegal immigrants to sneak in to our country and drain our resources.

Please,Mr. Greymatter..a moment of your time,please.

1)Cheap labor is working in factories,fields,mcdonalds,home cleaning services,nannying.This is basically what jobs the illegal immigrant works.

2)Yes,they can (and do)get health insurance.What year do you live in?If you work at a company that provides insurance,you can get it,illegal or not.

3)We pay $800.00 a yr in property taxes.And my husband pays about $100.00 a week in soc.sec. and other taxes.Not to mention our home owners insurance and medical insurance.My husbands name is on our 30-yr loan ,and he is illegal.So,yes,they pay their prop.taxes and stuff too.Duh.

4)Auto insurance--we pay $110.00 a month for two drivers and 3 vehicles,with 0 points.Can anyone get me cheaper insurance,cuz we pay out the wahoo?Again,he is illegal.

5)If you don't pay your loan,you have no place to live---and besides,what about all these americans who claim bankrupt every year,yet drive new cars and live in new houses?No one complains about them.

6)Every hispanic I've seen that commits crimes are put in jail also.They don't get sent back and go free.They sometimes stay years in jail right here in america,then after their time is up,are sent back to their native country to stay in jail some more.

How incredibly stupid are you not to know the basics of something you try to complain about?

Does anyone really think it's OK for Illegal immigrants to sneak in to our country and drain our resources.

Cheap labor is not a problem, because they are making $12000/Year, and they are spending those money in USA. Com. and Pharmaceutical Jobs are going to India from USA and some people are making more than$150K and spending those money in India. This is not helpful to build US economy.

Does anyone really think it's OK for Illegal immigrants to sneak in to our country and drain our resources.

There's enough lazy, no account Americans draining our system-we don't need illegals helping things along.

But I do have to say, at least the Mexicans work.

Does anyone really think it's OK for Illegal immigrants to sneak in to our country and drain our resources.

It's not ok to come illegally.But your misinformed,most of these ppl don't sneak across.They come with visas(legally) and the visa expires making them illegal(yes they should take care of that).Illegals can't recieve social services,their American born children can.They do pay taxes,if they came legally and are now illegal,they recieved a social security number with which they can and do pay taxes with.If they are illegal they can recieve a ITIN(Individual Tax Identification Number)They pay taxes with that.Now since they are now illegal they are not willing to risk filing a return,thus free money for our government.

You must not own a home,yes they do pay property taxes,which funds schools and local government.Default on loans with no recourse?cmon!Most do not commit crimes.Your so misinformed.

Does anyone really think it's OK for Illegal immigrants to sneak in to our country and drain our resources.

I agree with you 100% Unfortunately the government and law enforcement is too worried about political correctness to stop this. They use terms like %26quot;undocumented worker%26quot; to sugarcoat the criminal acts they are committing against this country and its people. They act like a parasite in this country, like a cancer, and need to be removed before it spread any further.

Help for child who's parent refuses to do FAFSA?

My sister is married to a real SOB. His soul purpose on this earth is to procreate (according to him) and women are NOTHING but baby factories. Here in lies the first part of the problem... he's avoiding doing his taxes because he defaulted on my sister's student loans SEVERAL years ago (only about $700 because he told her she couldn't go). He doesn't want to %26quot;lose%26quot; that money.

Now, they have a daughter who is starting college... now he's refusing to do the taxes so she can submit her FAFSA. She's an honor roll student, aced her SAT's, and is dead set against EVER being a baby factory in any sense of the word.

Both parents have jobs with the state, so that she can get the information online and fill out a 1040 to submit with the FAFSA, but we aren't sure if she will get in trouble or not for doing it that way.

Can she do this? or is there some CHEAP way to make the SOB do what's right? ie: turn him in for tax evasion?

Help for child who's parent refuses to do FAFSA?

Unless the parent files federal taxes, nothing is going to be accomplished.

Unfortunately there are parents, who, for whatever reason, do not support their children's desire to better themselves.

She cannot file for a professional judgment as her parents are supporting her financially and she has contact with them.

She cannot 'file their taxes for them' as that is considered tax fraud and punishable by 5-20 years imprisonment. That idea is completely ludicrous so whoever suggested that should be slapped upside their head.

The man defaulted on loans. They'll collect on them by garnishment at the very least. His credit is trashed so he's not going to be able to help this daughter get a loan.

She needs to work with the FAO at her school to see what options there are. There are ALWAYS options. It could be payments, finding a grandparent to co-sign an alternative loan, taking less classes per semester until things get sorted out.

Help for child who's parent refuses to do FAFSA?

To turn him in for not doing their taxes all you have to do is call the irs and tell them he hasn`t filed his taxes in years and has been working for the state.

They will investigate and both parents will be in trouble.

It would be ok if the child moved out and either in with a family member or into her own apartment. Then the FAFSA would

only need the childs income.

Help for child who's parent refuses to do FAFSA?

Tell her to talk to her guidance counselor. The guidance counselor should be able to find a way around it. Also, just as a thought, the parents do not have to file their taxes to apply for the FAFSA; you just need to have the information that would be on the tax forms.

Help for child who's parent refuses to do FAFSA?

Ditto about turning him in for tax evasion. Just call the IRS and tell them, but that would get your sister in trouble as well.

If she moved in with another relative now, it wouldn't help her because she still would have gotten most of her support for the 2007 year from her mother and father.

Whoever said that you could just get the information is wrong. I know that they randomly (and sometimes not randomly) select people for verification, and they will ask for all of the forms. If that happens, you have to go back and admit she lied on her forms.

I'd go to her high school guidance counselor and ask exactly how she is supposed to get around this. If they won't help her at her school, go to the college she wants to get into and ask the financial aid office for help. Clearly she deserves to get into college and will be accepted at almost any place she decides to go to. With her circumstances, she could probably write a killer college essay to get financial aid with as well.

Good luck with your situation and I really hope you find somebody to help you out. If she does as well in school as you say she does, the guidance office should be more than willing to help her get through this.

Help for child who's parent refuses to do FAFSA?

Is your sister a doormat? Hello... she can file the family taxes just as easily as the SOB can.... and then give that information to her daugher.

If worse comes to worse, your sister can file her taxes %26quot;married, filing seperately%26quot; from Mr. Personality. Then she has completed her legal responsiblity of filing taxes... of course - she would then get to claim all those 5 little tax deducations. While Mr. Wonderful would get none. Once he gets wind of this..... he'll have their taxes fillled out (jointly, I guarantee) the next day.

PS. Your sister's student loan is her debt and her responsiblity to repay, not the SOB's.

Good luck.

Know that there are many reasons people don't go to college but if the only reason is money and

have kids is this just a lie or them being lazy community college are cheap and most of the tution if not all of it is coverd by financial aid or the pell grant and if after two yrs they move on to a 4yr school they can get loans if they rally want to go to college what do u think

Know that there are many reasons people don't go to college but if the only reason is money and they do not

Are you asking a question?

If they don't have a family to support and it's just themselves, then, yes, I feel they have no excuse to say that they don't have enough money for college.

That said, the people who have the least money are also the ones who are most unlikely to know about the various types of financial aid and/or how to apply for it. So, they're more likely to not get everything they're entitled to.

Also, they may have very low expectations of what jobs they can get (again, cuz they just don't know any better) so it may not be worth it to go to college for the types of jobs they are %26quot;aiming%26quot; for.

The gov't needs to get the word out more. However, in many states, they're just having a hard enough time getting kids educated properly. Getting them into colleges is a problem that's pretty far down the list of educational problems.

Know that there are many reasons people don't go to college but if the only reason is money and they do not

1. lets see people are intimidated by college

2. some feel like they are not smart enough

3. they may think others are smarter than them

4. f they did not do well in high school then why should they apply to college?

5. money is a issue especially in poor communities

6. some people are lazy

7. their partners prevent them from getting a better education especially controlling men who wants the woman to stay home and do domestic work

8. some have to support the family business and cannot or donot have time to study

9. some dont want to pay college with loans

10. others donot have family support or money to watch their children so they can attend school and study.

Know that there are many reasons people don't go to college but if the only reason is money and they do not

There are several possible reasons:

It could also be fear of failure. As long as they have excuses, they rationalize not doing it.

They could have had bad experiences in grade school. The thought of more schooling could be scary.

Maybe, they just are not college material. Not everyone is.

Don't you pro-illegal alien advocates see that it's corporate America that's driving

Nobody cares about you, they just want that all-mighty dollar!

If they cared, they would be helping out the economy in Mexico and other countries which send a larg share illegal immigrants here.

Don't you see that your people are being %26quot;used and abused%26quot; for their labor and that's it?

Don't you see that the Chamber of Commerce (because of their want for more cheap labor)is a driving force behind the illegal alien %26quot;movement?%26quot;

Don't you see that banks that give home loans to illegals hurt me and you ?

Don't you see that when a bank offers service to you in Spanish that it is a slap in the face to those who try hard to learn English and assimilate?

Don't you see that bilinugal education is not helping the children learn English any faster than English immersion; that it's lining the pockets of all of these companies who are putting out products that cater to you?

There's a lot more and I can go on forever, but please people, think about some of this stuff.

Don't you pro-illegal alien advocates see that it's corporate America that's driving the ill imm debate?

Corporate America and the crooked government trying to divert our attention. It looks as if they're doing a great job also.

Don't you pro-illegal alien advocates see that it's corporate America that's driving the ill imm debate?

Just a thought:

All these modes of exploitation you cite rely of the fact that the immigrants are breaking the law, and are therefore not protected by the law.

Have you considered that what some pro-immigration people are trying to achieve is to CHANGE the law so that these immigrants become legal?

Don't you pro-illegal alien advocates see that it's corporate America that's driving the ill imm debate?

umm...I know many illegals who have their own businesses buddy, and they do not get exploited by anyone.
