STEALTH TECHNOLOGY: Police-type Doppler radar and laser radar (Lidar) are fascinating! They also have error rates of 10%-20%! We describe every known:

The TV program, "Myth Busters," in conjunction with California police (CHiP), evaluated several methods used to stealth vehicles and debunked all those it tested. Problem was it did not even test the method we describe in STEALTH TECHNOLOGY, claiming that it made the test car so heavy it could not be operated when in fact our method will add about 20 lbs to a car's weight when properly applied. Wonder why. Hmmm. Comprehensive and invaluable. Words=19.9K. $29. ISBN: 0-934274-21-5.

AUTO THEFT COUNTERMEASURES: Auto theft is at rampant levels and still increasing! Professional auto thieves are trained to defeat virtually ALL popular commercial methods - including "Clubs," locks and alarms. To prevent the theft of YOUR autos, you need a device that is both unique and effective. ATC Manual describes the unique and very effective methods we invented, including plans for simple mechanical, electrical and electronic devices used to foil car thieves and to properly "reward them." Words=8.8K. $15. ISBN: 0-934274-81-9

GASOLINE PRICES & GAS TANKS: We all know that the prices of gasoline and diesel fuel are now very high, skyrocketing and will very likely continue to escalate far into the future. How much your monthly gasoline and diesel fuel costs come to depend upon many complex factors, including some specifically related to your gas tank or diesel fuel tank. These tank factors include how clean your fuel is when it reaches your engine, and how accurate the calibration of the gas or diesel fuel pump or dispenser is at the gas station that dispenses your gas or diesel fuel. If you have an older vehicle, especially if you live in a rainy, humid, windy or dusty area or in an area where the gasoline or diesel fuel at the pump is not clean, you could have accumulated water, rust and/or debris in your gas tank or diesel fuel tank that can seriously adversely affect both your fuel mileage and how often and how much it costs you to repair your car's engine, carburetor, sparkplugs, fuel injectors, etc., and your ongoing need for expensive special fuel additives. It may be worthwhile to clean, if not change your gas tank or diesel fuel tank for a new one, in which case, if you do it yourself (recommended only if you are skilled and experienced at changing fuel tanks and have the facility and equipment access where you can do so reliably and safely), you need to know the size, shape, manufacturer and part/model number of the replacement fuel tank.
           Another critical tank factor is whether or not the fuel dispenser or fuel pump is accurately calibrated. While most states apparently "periodically require" calibration of fuel pumps and fuel dispensers, we believe that in most states not only are such calibrations rare, but the crooked operator can easily restore the crooked setting within minutes after an inspector has left. I have heard people referring to these so-called fuel calibration inspections as "jokes" and "eye-winks." Rip-offs at the pump can be very costly! For example, a fuel pump filling an empty 18 gallon tank dispensing only 0.8 gallons for every gallon it registers at $3/gallon will indicate 22.5 gallons at $67.50 instead of 18 gallons at $54.00, resulting in a rip-off of $13.50 - a whopping and blatant 25% rip-off (you are actually paying $3.75/gallon - makes that 3 cents you thought you were saving look pretty ridiculous in comparison!). If you fill up your vehicle once a week average at this cheat station, you are being cheated out of $702/year (assumes that the fuel price stays at $3/gallon for the year and does not increase - greater losses at higher prices). Apparently, very few people know the actual sizes of their fuel tanks. Can you afford this egregious level of thievery? The only way you can tell for sure whether or not your gas station is honest is to run your fuel tank down to empty, then completely fill it up AND you must know the size of your gas tank or diesel fuel tank to compare it with what the fuel dispenser or fuel pump displays (and charged you on) when you fill up. Even if you know the size of your gas or diesel fuel tank, what about the fuel tank sizes in your leased or rental vehicles? How about when you return the rental vehicle without first filling it up 100% and the clerk exaggerates the vehicle's tank size to rip you off of more money? Can you correct the clerk?
           After much effort, we now have available to us the fuel tank sizes of close to 1,000 makes and models of cars, pickup trucks, panel trucks, SUVs, vans, minivans, jeeps, station wagons and buses, both domestic and foreign vehicles, both young and old vehicles, from the dozens of major vehicle manufacturers. This report describes in detail what the tank size is for YOUR vehicle (when you order this manual, you must specify the specific make and model of your vehicle). While the vehicle database available to us appears to cover the great majority of vehicles made since the 1970s, if it does not cover your specific vehicle, we will refund your money. In addition to fuel tank size, if other information is available about YOUR gas tank, such as its dimensions, shape, the specific source of our data on your fuel tank, and/or the original manufacturer and/or replacement manufacturer (and the fuel tank model number or tank part numbers if also available), we will also include that information as well. Words=4.0K (varies). Note: Because we are providing individual information, no refund is permitted. $19/vehicle (for 5 or more vehicles, price is $15/vehicle, and total S/H stays at $6 (U.S. and Canada) no matter how many reports and other publications we ship to you at the same time).

CURING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS: Fixing a broken transmission can be very costly. Our Ford F150 pickup truck with Overdrive was increasingly experiencing severe backwrenching and alarming bumping and bucking problems (some call them "thumping" and "hesitation" type problems), especially when we accelerated or decelerated. Apparently, transmission problems of this type is a common problem with Fords (especially Ford trucks and Ford vans), but they do affect other vehicles as well. We brought our truck into two transmission shops to be diagnosed. Both shops basically stated that the transmission was shot (bad sensors and a worn out clutch), it would have to be overhauled for about $1,500, and that there existed no other cure except for a tranny overhaul. If you have experienced similar symptoms, you probably got a similar diagnoses as we did. Before shelling out such big bucks, we first had to find out if there was a much cheaper way to solve this serious problem, so I both did extensive research on the Net and called around and talked at great lengths to several mechanics and auto parts store personnel. From all this, it became clear that there were several little-known methods that could be inexpensively and safely applied one at a time, starting with the cheapest (under $50), until the problem is eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level. None of these methods required tranny disassembly, working on the insides of the tranny or the services of a transmission shop. When combined together, all of these methods totalled about $200 and all can be performed either by a cheaper, regular mechanic and/or by an auto mechanically proficient vehicle owner. And that all or at least some of these methods are applicable to virtually every vehicle transmission (cars, pickup trucks, panel trucks, SUVs, vans, minivans, jeeps, station wagons, smaller RVs and buses, and excludes large vehicles such as large trucks, tractor trailers, big buses and RVs and earth moving equipment as well as off-road vehicles and motorcycles) on the road today (Ford transmissions, Chevy transmissions and other General Motors transmissions, Chrysler and Dodge transmissions and DaimlerChrysler transmissions, Honda transmissions, Hyundai transmissions, Isuzu transmissions, Audi transmissions, Kia transmissions, Mazda transmissions, Mitsubishi transmissions, Nissan transmissions, Subaru transmissions, Toyota transmissions, Volkswagen transmissions, Volvo transmissions, etc). After applying these methods, we found that our bumping and bucking problems dropped by 95+% in both frequency of occurrence and severity. That was 1,000s of miles ago - still no further known deterioration since and no further transmission-related work since. This manual describes in detail what we did. This manual is loaded with info that might save YOU or a loved one big bucks. Note: This manual is simply based on my lay personal experience. We are not auto mechanics or transmission mechanics. We do not provide or sell any of the described products or services - they are available from many auto parts stores and auto shops. We cannot guarantee that any of these methods will work on your vehicle, or for how long they will work if they do work. Even if these methods get you just a little more time or miles, it may be enough for you to get you and your loved ones where you need to go, dispose of the vehicle and/or obtain the money needed to fix it. We would not be publishing this information if we did not truly believe that these methods are usually worth a try before spending big bucks for a transmission overall which could possibly even make things worse (transmission overhauls do not always come out well!). We take no responsibility and we assume no liability to you or to anyone else resulting from the application of any of these methods or any combination of these methods. Words=5.8K. $29.

HOW TO DO BUMPER STICKERS, SIGNS & DECALS: Bumper stickers are one of the few remaining effective ways that most people have to freely and publicly express their opinions without being censored by any publisher, editor, producer, host or author! Manual describes commonly available materials and techniques you can use to quickly, easily and cheaply make your professional-looking bumper stickers, signs (including business signs, for sale signs, political signs, protest signs, direction signs, missing person signs, missing pet signs), decals, address labels, shipping labels, logos, banners, bands, invitations, business cards, decorations, plastic jewelry, other crafts, works of art (artworks), photo media (beats photo paper and is much cheaper!), CD labels and DVD labels (tested on two CDROMs), disk labels (floppy diskette labels), file labels (filing system labels), message postings, bulletin board postings, display labels, sales labels, price labels, warning labels, business project labels, science project labels, school project labels, tool labels, equipment labels, instrumentation panel labels, etc for both exterior and interior uses - virtually unlimited uses! Commercial bumper sticker/sign/decal kits can cost $100s - even on eBay. And the materials they sell are often for an outrageous $1+ per letter-size sheet + S/H + your delivery wait, when quality self-sticking vinyl plastic materials - are locally commonly available for most people for a small fraction of that. If you have and know how to use your laser or inkjet printer (and your printer will print on common cardstock and plastic transparencies (e.g. for overhead projections)), and any one of a number of very fine Microsoft, Adobe, Corel, Autodesk, Macromedia, Ulead, etc paint, draw (including CAD), photo processing, desktop publishing, webpage design/website design computer programs (e.g. PhotoShop, PaintShop Pro, Illustrator, Word, WordPerfect, PageMaker, QuarkXpress, Corel Draw, AutoCAD, PhotoImpact, PrintShop, FrontPage, Art Dabbler, PhotoStyler, PhotoPaint, Publisher, PageMill, PhotoSuite, Freehand, PowerPoint, Dreamweaver), you can quickly/easily/cheaply make your own bumper stickers, signs, decals, crafts, etc with messages and images to YOUR likings, and without depending on anyone else! No silkscreening or other expensive method is required. Also includes a section on how to quickly and easily remove stickers on metal and glass. Note: Printer, software, tools (e.g. scissors, tape) and materials are not included. Manual is not a tutorial on any computer, printer or software, but comprehensively covers common, usually locally-available and inexpensive, high quality vinyl plastic materials for making them (including transparent vinyl materials that can also be used for widespread lamination purposes and is much cheaper than office supply store lamination sheets), tips on how to prepare your materials to be printer-friendly and on how to do the printouts, and tips on how to preserve your sticker/sign/decal for long lasting exterior uses.
