How do You Know When a Used Engine is the Best Option?

Posted on September 29th, 2009 by by Jim McNeily

There are many reasons I can think of to buy a used engine for a car or truck with a broken engine. Used engines with low mileage are very affordable and are fantastic replacement engines for certain needs.

Let’s say, for example, that you have a fairly new car, less than 6 years old. And one day the engine overheats badly. You are stuck on the side of the road on a 95 degree day and waiting for a tow truck to take you to your favorite engine repair shop. You may be thinking to yourself that this car only has 65,000 miles on it, so how can the engine stop working? You may also be thinking, “I’m not ready to buy a new car.

That is a good question and, most likely, will be answered once the mechanic checks out your car. Don’t forget that it is critical to know why an engine failed, particularly on a newer car, or you may have another problem which may not be covered under the warranty, since it was a subsystem that failed and re-caused the problem.

In fact, if I had an engine failure pre-maturely, I would want to find out if an in-direct source caused the problem. We all know that a well maintained and properly driven car can get over 200,000 plus miles on the engine before it wears out.

So, you’re back at the car shop. The mechanic has gone through a complete diagnostic routine and found the cause of the failure. He says, “You sprung a leak in the bottom radiator hose”. When the coolant leaked out, your engine overheated badly enough to warp the heads and crack the block, and that the engine now needs to be replaced.

Here are my thought patterns on the matter and what may be the best replacement engine choice for you. Since we know that, barring unforeseen problems, like overheating the engine badly or springing an engine oil leak, the engine should go 200,000 miles or more.

Why not buy a used low mileage engine in good condition, repair the system that caused a pre-mature engine failure, and inspect all of the other systems that are easy to get at while the motor is out of the engine compartment? Then learn how to take care of your car and keep an eye on the ‘small stuff’ and drive the 200,000 miles you should have gotten the first time.

DWI – Driving While Intoxicated

Posted on September 28th, 2009 by by Assistant Editor

For states to receive federal funding they must follow the guidelines set. That would mean DWI, or driving while intoxicated, would be a BAC of .08% which is the equivalent of two beers or less per hour. These set standards are applied to alcohol consumption.

There are times that people who are high on marijuana or other drugs also receive that charge. Most times though, those that have consumed drugs face DUI charges, or driving under the influence. That is actually the same charge people have to face who get caught driving after just sipping a beer, but who don’t reach the BAC of 0.08. Even though those are two different charges, they have the same fines, penalties, jail time, points and need the same amount of money to defend.

Some social drinkers are incredulous to find out these facts, when they drink once or twice a year. They are placed in the same class as those that have more serious drinking problems.

There are still some states that have the old federal guidelines in place, since they believe that the difference can be made up by a sales tax on alcoholic beverages. This can be anything from the drinks in a restaurant ordered with dinner to extra revenue from bars.

The laws basically don’t affect the heavy drinkers with higher BAC levels and that is why many of them just take their chances and drive off anyway. It is the borderline drinkers that usually choose to stay at home than go to a bar. There are many who believe that chasing after social drinkers is a waste of paid taxes and the real problem, which is the heavy drinker, are not being deterred in any way.

Most states have adopted the .08% BAC, and the lawyers can charge quite a bit of money to defend driving privileges. There are other expenses involved, such as SATOP, the mandatory safety program for drivers that drink, in order to get their license back from administrative suspension. The inconvenience of the automatic suspension that occurs before you are ever found GUILTY in court is additional expense and stays on your record for up to five years, in most states on your first offense.

A good lawyer may be necessary, if you find yourself charged. It used to be that you were innocent until proven guilty, but not in the case of DWI charges. In fact, if you don’t take a breathalyzer, you will probably find yourself without a driving license for a year and DWI guilty verdicts can get you up to six months on a first offense and up to five years in prison on your third offense. Many drug dealers don’t get that strict of a sentence.

For that reason alone it is a good idea to hire an attorney should you ever be in such a position. You wouldn’t want a drink with a meal to ruin your whole life and it is sad, but true, that some drug dealers don’t have to face as much trouble as someone who has an occasional drink. This is the result of stricter laws that are now enacted, because that is what the public demanded. This is because there are more accidents caused by drivers impaired by alcohol consumption and in response the number of crackdowns increased and more DWI charges are made.
