Show Rundown

Lynn Keller Harlingen, Texas -

Buying. Her Dodge Dakota is passing on and she has eyes on her hubby's Dodge Ram. What should he get that would make him forget the Ram?

Barry Philadelphia, Pennsylvania -

Wipers. The wipers don't work. The car is owned by an attractive lady he works with.. He's already told her that it's probably a fuse. How about some backup suggestions?

Hillary Kadzer Hollywood, Florida -

Starting. She used to be able to bypass an apparently bad solenoid contact by touching the + terminal directly to the solenoid with a coat hanger. Now that doesn't work.

Mark Cather Enterprise, Alabama -

Carburetor. Is it ok to put small amounts of rice into the carburetor to clean it? The mechanic told him about this but wasn't sure whether his leg was getting yanked.

Anne Boulder, Colorado -

Familial. Her mom gave her an '88 Mercury Sable as a gift. She traded it for the Corolla. Wants to break it to mom via the show amidst heaps of T&R praise for doing this of course.

Richard Ready Lexington, Kentucky -

Fuel system. The car bucks. The mechanic put the car on a steady diet of injector cleaner but it hasn't helped. Does this stuff work?
