How to keep your car trouble-free

[Gunny]

(AOL Autos) -- A little yellow warning light appeared on the dash of my minitruck restoration project over the summer.

As a good motorist, I took it to a local mechanic who advised me that it was nothing to worry about, that he had had a similar problem with a minitruck he once owned, and he drove it for three years with the warning light on until the bulb behind the light fused.

Great advice, I found, if you want your engine to blow a couple of weeks later (as I found to my great cost, too).

I hardly drive my Ford Ranger.

I figure if I continue not moving it, I might get another couple years out of it.

Gets better mileage that, way, too.

I have one of these Gunny. A little pricey but well worth it in my opinion. I've used it on a few of my vehicles already, and saved the day on a friends, daughters car just the other day. They had no idea what was wrong with it. Plugged in my scanner, test ran for just a couples minutes, bingo, here's what's wrong with it.
