I haven't seen that either... Often the RAID arrays come new with one batch of drives all of the same make/model and over time the replacements come from different lots. For example, a new RAID array may have all Seagate drives, and as they fail we may get another make/model as a replacement. On

Yes. OBDII is only 96 and newer. OBDI is what you have on older cars that you can get the CEL to flash a code. If you have an Android you can get a dongle that will allow you to turn your device into a wireless OBDII scanner you wouldn't believe! Real time EVERYTHING including acceleration, bra

Not sure I would agree with the assumption that if one fails the other will be close behind. One of the pieces of equipment I manage in our data center is one of a number of SANs, which contain literally hundreds of hard drives. I can attest to the fact that they are all from the same manufact

For $20 I figured it would be nice to have for basic code identification rather than having to do the goofy key on/off stuff (if you can even do that with any of my current vehicles) to read codes. Even if I'm not going to do the work, it's worth $20 to know what's up before I take it somewhere

If the vacuum controls for the EGR and air recirculation valve are blown, you can get low vac to the transmission and ACC controls. If the ACC air handling isn't working right (mainly air out of the windshield defrost vents when it's not supposed to be), check for vac. The supply comes fr
