What else can I help you with?
Why can't the heat on a 96 Intrepid be turned down from maximum?
If you can turn the knob, but it doesn't get any cooler, then check for a broken vacuum line under the hood. Not just hoses, but could be a plastic tube. Sometimes they get dryrot and crack.

When to Replace tires mileage or age?
age actually matters very little for a tire. The only frequent problem related to age is dryrot, you will see small cracks start to develop between the treads and/or on the sidewall of the tire. This means you should probably replace them but is actually caused by exposure to the elements and not solely age. Keeping your car in a garage will help prevent this problem. Obviously also if the tread is worn out from mileage they should be replaced.
The blower on your 1995 Olds 88 ONLY works on the top defrost vents for the AC as well as the heater how do you locate and fix the problem?
I would first check for a vacuum leak, going to or after vacuum selector valve. Check all the vacuum lines to make sure there aren't any holes. They are small hard plastic lines wich tend to dryrot and crack easy, so be carfull not to break them when looking. Replace anything that is damaged or looks to soon be a problem. You also need to check the vacuum at the diaphragms to make sure they hold a vacuum. All of this should be located under the dash, mainly on the passengers side. You may have to check the main vacuum line coming in to the system, located under the hood next to intake. Hope this helps out.
What different types of halters for horses are there?
There are many varieties of halters for horses. They can generally be sorted into the following basic types: Leather, rope, nylon, and show. Leather halters are selected because they are 'breakable.' If a horse is tied and pulls away, or if the halter becomes stuck on something, it will break before the horse can hurt himself, or, for example, pull over your trailer or snap your fencepost. Leather halters are also attractive and can last a long time if the leather is properly conditioned and cared for and isn't allowed to dryrot. Rope halters are made from knotted ropes and are generally used for training. They exert extra pressure on the nose bone, therefore preventing strong-headed horses from pulling as much. Rope 'slips' are unknotted and are made to gently lead foals and young horses without damaging their slender necks or fur by preventing the handler from pulling them. Nylon halters are a popular choice because of their affordability and durability. They come in many fun colors and will not break. If your horse gets it muddy out in the pasture, they can be easily cleaned and they never dry rot and are very hard to break. However some nylon halters, if poorly dyed, will stain a light-colored horse's coat when wet. Also nylon halters DO NOT BREAK (unless made with a special breakaway snap or a leather crownpiece) so if your horse becomes entangled in a fence or pulls back from being tied, he will be stuck and could hurt himself or break whatever he's tied too. Show halters come in many forms, from the silver-embossed western leather halter to the delicate Arab slip. They can be expensive and meant to make your horse look really really good, however they are more form than function and impractical for daily use.
What causes windshield wipers to skid across windshield?
This is called "chatter" and it indicates that your wipers are either worn out (99% of the time) or that your wiper arm is twisted slightly (very rare - 1% of the time). This is caused by the rubber stiffening-up over time. When the rubber stiffens, it "fights" the glass which makes it viberate or jump or skip across the glass rather than flexing properly and simply sliding across the glass. Many think that wipers wear out due to use but actually the #1 factor is direct sunlight and dry heat drying-out the rubber ("dryrot"). Chatter is the first indicator. The second indicator is the rubber tearing apart which normally happens during use in rain, snow and ice. Lastly, vehicles with older windshield glass will chatter and wear out wipers faster than newer vehicles because older glass is pitted and worn from road dirt, etc. which makes it almost like sand paper. So, as your vehicle gets older and older, it will need wipers more and more often. Replacement Wipers: See Sources and Related Links below for more information. Since there are over 22 different wiper arm attachments, do not buy wipers just by length only - be sure to lookup exact wiper blade part numbers by vehicle make, model and year for the brand wiper you decide to purchase. This ensures correct length AND correct attachment.
What steps do you need to take when buying a home with cash?
I would suggest few things before buying a home for cash:Identify Your NeedsFind A Real Estate AgentGet Pre-approvedGo House-huntingMake Your OfferNegotiatePrepare To CloseClose The SaleIf you are paying all cash get Title insurance.A title company will insure that you can get clear title. They will search for judgments against the buyer(s) and seller(s) and liens against the property, access and easements, water/mineral rights. Read your preliminary Title Report. The Escrow company will pro-rate taxes, insurance and record the title for you. The selling Real estate agent/or attorney in some states, will write The "Earnest money Agreement" or "contract of sale" should indicate sale price, earnest money, down payment, form and timing of payment(s) and time of transfer. this should be written to protect you and allow you to get your earnest mony back if you decide not to purchase. If the contract is unclear or can be read two ways, have it corrected before signing. Usally the title company/Escrow company holds your earnest money and interprets the contract.Only Closing costs such as points/fees to bank, mortgage broker or lender can be avoided with a cash purchase. other closing costs: Title fees, escrow fees, recording fees, County, city taxes pro-rated - are necessary. A lender would check to see if the home was in a flood zone - did you check? A lender would check to see if the home needed a pest and dryrot inspection. Was the home appraised to determine value? Did you require a home inspection? where necessary permits obtained? Is there lead paint? asbestos? condition of roof, drainage, septic or sewer? well? Water flow and potability
How do you repair the rear air bag suspension on a 1988 Lincoln Mark VII?
the 88 may be one of the years that after market Taurus struts will fit in with a conversion package to replace the air bag suspension entirely. The alternative is dealer item only, and very very expensive.I agree that this system can be expensive BUT: Bagmasters, American Air suspension, Arnott Ind. and Strutmasters all have replacement parts for much less than the dealers.
