Here are some more information for Brake Pressure Gauge:
Graduating from college brings on many new challenges. One thing young women don't take into consideration when moving away from home is car maintenance and driving conditions. Many of the women I know, including myself, relied on dads, brothers, boyfriends, or roommates to handle the maintenance of their cars or to drive during harsh conditions. But what happens after graduation when they are not there to help? Taking the time to understand car maintenance and driving conditions can save you more than just money.
Climate Control
Growing up in Los Angeles, I never really experienced driving on ice, snow or in heavy rain, except for the occasional snowboarding trip. After graduating, many of my girlfriends packed up their cars and moved to San Francisco, New York, Chicago and a variety of other places whose climates are certainly different from Los Angeles.
One of my friends had called me last winter and told me that she felt like her car was floating every time she drove in the Chicago snow. This is somewhat true. Car tires just barely grip the road when it's icy or covered in snow or water. This means that drivers must anticipate all turns, stops and the potential mistakes of other drivers. When your tires have less traction, driving slowly, and keeping extra distance between cars is a great start as well as using tire chains and snow tires in heavy snow.
For those who are used to driving in the sun like me, it is important to understand how to regain control over your vehicle when it spins out or hydroplanes. If your rear tires lose control because of oversteering or hydroplaning, the best thing to do is to turn your wheel in the direction of the skid and ease off the accelerator. Sounds crazy, but it actually helps to create more friction and will help your car to slow or stop. Once the tires regain traction, you can turn the wheel back to straighten. If you turn the wheel in the opposite direction, your car will speed up, making it more difficult for you to regain control.
The Oil Change Myth
Every time I go get my oil changed, the mechanics put a sticker on the windshield indicating either a three-month or a 3,000-mile mark or both. When I first started driving, I got paranoid thinking that my engine was going to burn up if I didn't change my oil by the indicated time or mileage. When I hit 4,000 miles and the engine was still intact, I began to wonder.
The truth is that there is no exact science of measuring when to change the oil in a car. Ask ten people, receive ten answers. With the advent of newer and better oil as well as more efficient cars, 3,000 miles is too soon so save your money.
The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) released a 3,000 Mile Myth website earlier this year indicating that 75% of Californians change their oil too soon. This leads to 153.4 million gallons of waste each year. I can only imagine the waste percentage in other states where the temperatures aren't as high.
I change my oil every 5,000 miles give or take, which is a good modern day rule of thumb; but it's best to check your Owner's Manual for the recommended mileage for your car.
Under Pressure
Tires are another part of your car that is important for maintenance. When I took Driver's Ed at 15, one thing that stuck was how to use a penny to check the tire tread. I thought it was absurd at the time, but pennies really are a useful gauge. If you stick a penny in the tread and it goes past Lincoln's head, you are good to go. If there is space between the tread and his head, it's time to get new tires. Another thing to check is tread wear. If there is more wear on one side of the tire than on the other, you need to get your wheels aligned.
Also make sure to check the tire pressure every few months, especially in the summer. This is important because a tire that has too much pressure can wear more easily, brake poorly or blow out, under extreme conditions. Tires with low pressure will also wear more easily. Check your Owner's Manual for the recommended pressure or look for an information plate on the vehicle itself. This is not to be confused with the maximum tire pressure indicated on the side of the tire. Make sure all tires have sufficient pressure, including the spare. Keeping the correct amount of tire pressure can save you gas mileage.
Breaking Free
Diving headfirst into the big bad world after college is hard, but knowing basic car maintenance and good driving techniques can help save your life and that embarrassing extra phone call home.

A Common Problem With Installing Triple Gauge Pods on the Dashboard
When in a mood to fit up your car for maximum stylishness and comfort-as far as it settles the eye- the interior is always the first port of call as the notion goes what is clean within is by default clean without.
Billet accessories without fail adds a touch of high class to any interior. Still plates, emergency brake handles, lower dash panels, and door lock buttons are but a few accessories when looking to fit up your car interior.
Installation of these kits are well within the capabilities of the average enthusiast. Fitting up these accessories are generally straight forward requiring little or no drilling for instance sill plates as part of your interior kits are normally held in place with self adhesive tape backing, while the gauges casing only require a quick drill and screw. Though gauges pods are part of 'excessorizing' spicing up any part of the interior would definitely make your gauges look very ordinary and hence require rich fitting of its own.
Gauge faces area is quick stylish way to brighten up the look of your dashboard. One of the problems you may face in installing triple gauge pods for accessory gauge is that there may be very little suitable space to locate your multiple gauges on the dashboard. If faced by this problem the solution will be to order one of the dash-top gauge housing offered by a number of accessory manufacturers.
This casings house your gauges in a neat black or carbon-looking casing. The housing is cased so that the gauges when mounted will angle the drivers side. Wiring the gauges for water temperature, oil pressure and so on may be something you leave to professionals, it is not by any means beyond the capabilities of a good home mechanic.

98 ford explorer oil pressure problems?
my oil pressure gauge in dashboard recently has been dropping from safe levels to completely low, as if the oil pressure just stopped, simultaneously my check gauge light comes on.
the weird part is it only drops when i am slowing down. anytime i begin to brake below 35, the gauge instantly drops all the way down. then once i come to a complete stop at the light it turns back on or if i begin to accelerate. my car runs fine tho, other than the fact that it eats gas like a fat man at a buffet. it also began to sort of stall when i take tight turns slowly or while braking.
please help asap, i cant afford to miss work
I believe 90% of fords have One way oil pressure gauges.
By this, i mean they ARENT actually gauges.
The gauge simpy acts as a indicator to whether or not your oil is working or not.
Basically, as long as the oil gauge turns on or the needle points ANYWHERE, you have oil pressure.
It DOESN'T matter where the gauge points, as long as it does something when you start the car.
if the needle is jumping or not sitting in the middle or whatever, this simply means you have a faulty oil gauge cluster, the wiring is corroded or loose, or your just simply not getting enough volts to the gauge and it's shorting out.
90% of the time, oil pumps just DIE when you start the vehicle, they almost NEVER die out slowly.
So be sure your oil pump is actually toast first......if it was, your engine would seize up and it would likely be too late anyways!
Like i said though, these gauges don't actually measure oil pressure, it's basically a dumby gauge, and either means you HAVE oil pressure or you DONT.....in which you would know very quickly after your engine burnt up.
I seriously doubt you have an oil pressure problem.
But never say never.....i would get it checked out first just to make sure.
The only gauges on Fords that ACTUALLY measure anything are the Engine Temperature gauge, and the Fuel Gauge....the rest are pretty much dumby gauges...you simply CANNOT trust them.
