I believe you are reading this correct, but can you post a picture of the actual spec sheet to be certain? Was it Firestone you went to?
I will do that.

This is concerning a 2012 Kia Soul. I am posting here because I trust posters here more than at the Kia forums.I had been having all the maintenance on my vehicle done at a dealership.I decided to go to another shop that had a $159 special for lifetime alignments.I received a printout of my vehicles alignment. The printout had three numbers for each setting. I assume two of the numbers were a recommended setting and the third was the actual reading. Everything was within the recommended range except the following:Right Front Toe: -.25° > Recommended range (.10 to -.10)Front Total Toe: -.23° > Recommend range (-.20 to .20)Front Steer Ahead: > .13° - Recommended range (-.05 to .05)Did I need an alignment? The service person said I did but I am not sure..After the alignment was done, the steering wheel seemed tight. Is this normal?

It's got crank windows which I like, No factory AC either. Which don't work anyways on most old cars, so I like that too I'll get a picture up soon.
Another request to see the crank windows.

I also could use something similar that gives the history of a vehicle.

It is my understanding that the 95's were covered up to 100K miles.

Understood
Actually, thinking about it again, he probably can help me.
Thanks. I will PM him.

i believe ahardb0dy has a copy of it so even if he don't have a current source for it may be able to look up a vin for you. Might be worth a pm or I can ask him for you if you wish (and he don't chime in here)
Thank you but I would like my own copy.

I want a version that will have 1994 Pathfinder VINS.

My mother has a 2012 Kia Soul.
Is there such a thing as an aftermarket part that will protect the gas tank from exploding in the case of a rear end collision?
Who might sell something like this?
-
I think the factory ones were more round.
-
that is correct.
That is correct.
Alarm, roof rack, fender flares, grille guard, armrest extension, fog lights and steprails were all dealer installed accessories on the WD21.
So none of those parts were installed by the factory?
A lot of those parts were standard on the SE. The factory did not install them?

Someone in another forum said the following:
That needs filler, primer, sand and paint
If I just use a paint pen with clear coat is there any risk of future rust damage?That is what I am concerned about. -
After you touch up the paint, buy a clay bar kit. It will come with a bar of clay and a spray that will remove all surface blemishes as well as any existing wax. After you message the entire truck you will simply apply a coat of wax that will have an even shine.
I was not clear. How many coats of paint?
Do I need a primer? I read somewhere that if I see plastic it means I need primer.
Below are pictures.
-
How many coats should I use?
However many it takes to get to the level of the rest of the paint?
-
Now you will need too re wax the car but I've had great luck with it. But that's only if its not too the color/base coat.
Can I rewax that one spot or do I need to rewax the entire car?
What is a good wax to use.
-
I bought the touch up marker pen from the dealership.
I guess the first step is to clean the area. Is a Chamois with dish washing liquid the best thing to use? Someone told me dish washing liquid is a no go because it removes the wax. True?
Are there any other tips?
Do I need a primer? -
When this is the case, it might be hard to sell...

To each there own.
There are some Papa Johns fans out there.
It isn't horrible pizza. Just not what I eat.
If someone was selling a Dominos voucher for $5.00, I would buy it.

I tried to give it away to friends. No one wanted it.
People sell things like this on ebay all the time.
Large one topping usually costs $17.50.
I should have added.
It must be used on papajohns.com
A maximum of one code can be used with each Papa John's online account.

It is a hell of a lot easier on your transmission when towing as well.
This is counter intuitive to me.
If the engine runs at higher RPMs, isn't it taxing it more?
If it is easier on the transmission when towing, would it also be the case when going up a hill?
-
it sure is effective. When i get stuck in 4 wheel drive i turn it on for that extra power and it helps. Now on the streets in town i have no idea.
It is supposed to give more power when passing as well.
I know it was standard on the LE.
Did it come with the SE off road package?
I have seen it with the XE as well.
-
I know what it is supposed to do.
Is it effective?

Who would ever consider that the ATF doesn't need changing? Isn't it listed at 30k or 60kintervals in the FSM?
The manual only recommends the atf be changed when when the vehicle is used for towing or extreme driving conditions. It seems like it should always
be changed.
If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every 30,000 miles (48,000 km)If I bought the vehicle new, I would trusted the fsm. Absurd.
I checked the fsm for a 4 Runner for the earliest date as I could find. Toyota says basically the same thing.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but there is no way, no how these manufacturers do not believe that regularly changing the atf does not benefit the transmission. They want people replacing their vehicles.
Need an idea for cup holder
in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
Posted
I got used to the OEM cup holders inside the center console. The trick is to use the left hand.
With my right hand on the wheel, I would take the left hand and reach under my right arm and pull the drink under my arm.
