they don't sting, but can pinch. http://www.ipm.iastate.edu/ipm/iiin/ladybeetles.html We see these on the outside of the house (along with some box elders) in September/October just around the first frost. Sometimes a few sneak into the house and then are attracted to light. Don't squish 'em on a surface, especially a wall in case of staining. -Brian

Not only CT Nissan Dealer, but I have experienced with some Nissan Dealers in TX as well. I guess that most dealers regardless of car brand may be the same. It is hard to find a trusted dealer or technician nowadays unless you know him well. However, I found some so-called a good and honest technnician sometimes posting a very helpful message on internet. A most problem today is that cars are made up with a computerized engine control module (ECM or ECU). This box is to monitor any trouble signal. When something goes wrong, the ECU is likely pop-up a trouble code. It is good news that we don't have to do much trouble-shootings like an old car. The code usually tells us what part of the car need to be pin-pointed or replaced. The problem with most dealers is that they might not have time nor wanted to do more trouble-shootings. When they got a code, they would recommend to replace that part. What has happened to my 99 Maxima with the ignition coil was that they wanted to replace all six coils rather to replace just the bad one. I finally found information of how to read the flash code and pin point a particular ignition coil#. Yet, I have replaced only one bad coil for $80 while the dealer would have had charged me $700 for all 6 coils. I have been driving ever since for 30k miles and have yet seen a problem again. Same thing on EGRC solenoid/v trouble code, the dealer wanted to replace a new EGRC valve ($134 part + $100 labor). They supposed to check the wiring harness, electrical connector, and vacuum tubes that run into the EGR valve before concluded that the EGR valve was bad. I bought a Haynes Repair book and followed the troubleshooting. The problem was due to clogged and cracked vacuum rubber tubes. After carefully unplugged and plugged all wiring/connector and re-adjusted the vacuum holes, the problem was gone without replacing a new valve. The O2 sensor may be the same. One should check the wiring and measure the resistance of sensor before replace a new one. At least to erase the code to see if the same code populating again. Other o2 sensors may be hard to reach but replacing a downstream o2 sensor is just like changing a spark plug. Of course, one needs to have a jack to lift car up for more working space. If one can do it himself, he would save about $150 for laboring. I feel especially sorry for elders and women who driving a car with ECM. Yet, dealer usually charge $75 each time for reading the code.

Anthony, Nick, I have had many 4WD vehicles, and except for 2 Ford trucks with full time 4WD (both were field converted to part time adding after market Warn hubs)and all of these vehicles had a manual stick for the transfer case. I represented a line of rough terrain forklifts and hydraulic cranes, and they too operated in the same way except for having 3 and 4 speed drop boxes (transfer cases). When Ford came out with the Explorer, I ordered one with 5 speed, manually shifted transfer case and Warn type manually locking hubs. Worked flawlessly. My elder son on the other hand bought the same year Explorer from the lot, and it had automatic transmission and hubs along with the electronic push buttons complete with a synchronizer. Sometimes it went into 4WD on a nice dry day, all on its own. Back to the dealer. Sometimes it would not go into 4WD on a horrible snowy day. Back to the dealer. Final solution, back to the dealer in the form of a trade. Unfortunately, he was not alone as this was a very prevalent problem and affected many vehicles. Some people hadn't a clue that it had gone into 4WD and just drove it around. Now, I am certain that the electronic system has improved (had one on my company leased Expedition and incurred no problems other than slow engagement in very cold weather). The fact is, that if I had my "druthers", I would choose the manual shifting lever for the part time 4WD. As a matter of fact, if Warn type manually locking hubs were available, I would choose them as well (okay, so I'm a dinosaur). Just my thoughts on this. Bookitty
