In winter, the weather conditions are rarely favourable and the roads are slippery and icy and in these circumstances, it is important that you keep your car well checked and have the emergency equipment to help you stay out of trouble. The snow on the road makes you lose traction, and so does increased speed. Therefore, you should be careful not to further reduce the already lost traction by increasing the speed. When there is ice, don't rush yourself. If there is somewhere you need to be on time, you should leave early to leave enough margin for the delay caused due to the ice on the road.

The accelerator should be pressed only lightly and you should drive the car at a smooth and steady speed. You should avoid using any kind of jerky motions during driving. Don't turn the steering wheel with a jerky movement and if you want to take a turn, do it smoothly and slowly. Bring the car almost to a stop when taking a turn that is a right angle as it is while taking this kind of turn that the car is most likely to skid.

You should try to avoid going on roads that are not used frequently. This is because the conditions on these roads are more dangerous. Other than that, you should also be extra careful when passing bridges, overpasses and shadowy areas. You should scrape ice from your windshield to make sure that your visibility is not affected. You should keep yourself on the lookout for black frost, which can suddenly catch you off guard. Bridges and intersections are places that are the most treacherous of all, in terms of icy conditions. Be careful of spots where the water runs across the road as these spots are likely to have black frost. The black frost is transparent and invisible and can mislead you.

Be sure to keep the headlights and taillights of the car free of any ice or dirt so that the other motorists can easily see you when you when the lights are turned on. Scrape the ice from the windshield, but never use hot water to remove the ice as this can cause the windshield to crack.

No matter what type your car is, it is important to keep the car in complete control and handle it as required by the road conditions. This is because it is the skill and practice of the driver that counts more.

The important thing is not to let your attention on the road get diverted, as this can cause accidents. If there is a slide, you should not overreact and should ease on the accelerator and let the car come out of the slide naturally. Turning the steering wheel unnecessarily will only make the slide worse, and the car will take much longer to get to its normal condition. If you feel your nervousness is increasing, you should pull the car over to a side and should proceed when you feel calmer.

Auto Windshield Repairing

Imagine this: you have bought a brand new car for yourself, and want to show it to your friends. The very first day, as you take the car out of your garage to drive down to your den, a stone speeds up to it and hits the windshield. And crack! Terrible, isn't it? - Windshield, an extremely important part of any vehicle is also the most vulnerable part of it. Even the slightest of stress can cause damage to it. And nothing looks worse than a stylish car with a windshield having a chip or a crack on it. So, what do you do to get it replaced?

Seeking help from a professional is always advisable, especially if the damage is huge (like, a bulls eye, half moon or star break), but there is nothing like knowing the basics yourself because you never know when such a situation arises, and you are forced to do it on your own. But before we go on to learn how to replace a windshield, lets do a quick recap of what this car part is all about, and why is it so important.

Windshield, as the name applies, shields the person on the driver's seat as well as other occupants in the car from the gush of air that rushes inside while driving a car on high speed. It also streamlines the speedy movement of a car or a bike. So, when there is a damage on the windshield, it should be attended with immediate effect as delaying it can cost you your life or the lives of your near and dear ones.

Now, how to replace a damaged windshield? First, remove exterior molding of the windshield with a trim remover, and screw open all the clips and retainers that hold the windshield in place. Set them aside for later use.

Now, cut the adhesive material that is used to secure the windscreen to the car frame and run the tool along its entire perimeter. Slicing right through the material in a direct manner will free the glass from the frame.

Then with a suction cup grabber gently pull the windscreen glass from the car frame. You will see, the area is clogged with adhesive. Clean it with an effective adhesive solvent, and apply primer solution and windscreen bonding to the cleaned frame. Use a caulking gun to apply windshield adhesive to the frame.

Once you are done with it, place a suction cup grabber on the surface the new windshield and carefully set it into the frame. Then remove excess adhesive using a scraper, and allow the new windshield to settle properly into place. Typically, this takes an hour or so. Finally, replace the molding and trim the pieces in reverse order.

So, next time when you are driving, keep your tool box ready with all the windshield replacing tools. If you are carrying a spare windshield, great, otherwise you can always walk up to the nearest car workshop to get a new one.

It has been quite a while that I have been writing auto and car related articles for various web portals.

I have an '83 Chevy C-10 pickup that runs well w/ 305 engine, auto trans, 105 k miles.?

I have an '83 Chevy C-10 pickup that runs well w/ 305 engine, auto trans, 105 k miles, but the body is quite rusted, the windshield is cracked, and the gas tank has rusted through and leaks.

I'm considering removing its fully carbureted engine and placing it in a newer truck chassis of better condition. Can you provide any suggestions on which truck model years would be most suitable? My '83 truck uses all analog instrument cluster gauges, i.e., doesn't have digital gauges, digital dash, etc.

I know if I select '81 thru '87 C-10 trucks they will have the same body style. Do you think interfacing this '83 engine w/ a late model chassis may require extensive electrical system retrofitting? Electrical connections to instrument cluster & steering column a headache?

Up to 1986, everything stayes the same, maybe a couple of different wires to the carb/emissons. In 87, they switched (most) to fuel injected and it gets all mixed up.

The swap into an 86 or earlier is very easy, all the connections are done on the engine itself, just may have to change sensor types. The hardest part will be finding a donor in good shape.

I've seen carb engines swapped into chevy trucks up to 1993, as the computer is still pretty simple up till then, and not too hard to remove it from the circuit. Worst part is dropping the tank to change the sending unit.

side note- transmisson will swap over too, unless you get a 4 wheel drive or 1 with a 700r4 overdrive. 700r4 is electronic, so may want to consider that also.
