everything you always wanted to about them. theory too.

Diabetics should look after their feet ( Alternative Medicine )

It is confirmed that the health of diabetic patient’s feet is very important and any injury or bruise, the size of a spot may cause problems right down to the bone and cause gangrene, so diabetics should take care of their feet from shoes to socks and nails to heels. Experts stated at a press conference that for diabetics the most vulnerable organ is their feet. The feet are the organs which are most exposed so when the flow of blood slows at the feet they start to lose sensitivity. An expert claims that even a little bruise might leave the feet more vulnerable to future injuries so diabetics should protect their feet:

”Your feet should be washed every night with warm water, be dried thoroughly and moisturised. After sports and walking, the underside of the feet should be checked with a mirror to ensure there are no bruises. Socks musn’t be too big or too small, musn’t be scrunched up or torn. Shoes should be made from soft leather, with smooth inside and not pointed or tapered at the front. Toe nails should be cut short. Nails should be cut straight across, not rounded.” ( Alternative Medicine )

Experts warn that if diabetic people don’t take these warnings seriously and don’t follow these guidelines they may lose their feet or legs, “treatment is too difficult and lengthy. If injuries don’t heal properly, even a little bruise the size of a spot can reach the bone and become gangrene and can cause loss of toes or whole feet.”

How to remove the alternator in a 2002 Pontiac Montana?
Hi,

This question is for someone who has actually replaced the alternator in a Pontiac Montana (hopefully 2002). I have replaced alternators on other cars, but the space on this seems too tight to pull the alternator out. What has to be removed to remove / replace the alternator? It looks like maybe some of the windshield wiper control arms, but even that doesn't look like it will open up enough space. This van does not have a cover inside the van to remove for engine access.

    great job, keep up the great work.
    Quick question..
    Can you measure the voltage coming off the alternator directly?

    where can i get the voltage regulator, any body know please let me know, thanks. i asked many part store but they only sell the whole unit.

    If you disconnect a car battery whilst the engine is running on a modern car you will most likely fry the ECU- best not to try it.
    Put a volt meter across the battery with the engine running and look for 13.8 to 14 volts to confirm charging.

    i think its your dashboard cluster itself
    dont worry
    this happens every once in a while
    youll have to send your dashboard cluster to a specialist and have it totally rebuilt
    im not real sure how much it would cost though
    im sure it wouldnt cost much though
    just call around and find someone who does that type of thing
    hope this helps!

  5. this man is amazing, for kids and adults alike to learn motor vehicle technology! to learn at home with a cuppa tea in their own time! perfect! :P

    Great demonstration!

    it would, only if you modified the flux capacitance of the conductor feed from your bat to the alternator to increase th pharad ractive resitance, intrinsic to a stock electical circuit.
