Top Truck and SUV Accessories
If you own a pickup truck or SUV chances are your vehicle looks quite a bit different than from the day that you bought it home from the dealership. I’m not talking about wear and tear, scratches or dings, or any other thing that may have happened to it over the course of time. Rather, I am suggesting that you have customized it to look the way you want it to look. Let’s take a peek at some popular accessories on the market for pickups as well as for SUVs.
There are literally hundreds of after market parts and accessories available for trucks and SUVs. The following list is an alphabetical example [well, almost] of add-ons for your consideration:

Car Radiator and the Engine – BFF
If you believe in the concept that all good things in the world come in pairs, then you must be wondering who could be the companion for your car engine. Well, look no further, it is the Radiator. Not to be confused with any Arnold movie, a radiator is an integral part of the engine setup that runs your vehicle. In fact, these two parts of your car are mechanically linked and even though the Engine might be the fiery, hot-headed type, it’s the Radiator that has a soothing influence over it and that’s what defines their relationship as well.
If you are not familiar with the major parts in your car, let me introduce you to what is called the Car Radiator all over the world. When you pop-open the hood of your car, the first part that immediately follows the front grille is the radiator. In fact, a radiator itself resembles a grille or a mesh of lean pipes forming a square shaped part that has an opening at the top and a fan located just behind.

Signs That Your Car Needs A Tune-Up
Hard Starting: This is the most common form of car trouble. It’s usually due to some unperformed maintenance. If the starter cranks the engine, the electrical system is probably okay. The culprit could be a starting sensor (on fuel injected models) or the choke mechanism (on engines with carburetors). Frequently, starting failure can be traced to an electronic component or a computer controlling the ignition system.
Knocking: The noise generally is heard when the engine is under load, such as when accelerating or climbing a hill. While it often may be caused by a thankful of interior gas, ignition knock frequently is a sign your engine needs attention. It also can be caused by a buildup of carbon inside the engine. Lake-model cars are equipped with a knock sensor which ‘hears’ the sound and makes corrective adjustments. But it cannot compensate for a severe malfunction, a condition that can affect engine performance and even damage the engine.
