On my way to work today was listening to financial podcast. They were talking about inflation, of course, and cost difference on daily consumables. They mentioned a price of gas and that every state has their own fees and taxes associated with it. Duh, not the news to anybody. But recently I...

Purchased a used SDS Max rotor hammer drill for couple upcoming house projects. It did not come with a grease. When I used my dad's rotor hammer drill, he had same brand grease that I put on the bits before installing them. I have tube of Super Lube grease, spray on white lithium grease, HD...

Hello everyone. I have generac xt8000e. It has been sitting in the not heated garage, I start it and run it with load every 6 months. Yesterday it started good and produced power out of 30amp outlet but GFCI outlets will not reset. One was blinking red, another one was okay but before testing...

Ran out of my last VP two stroke oil recently and stop by local Walmart in SC. No VP two stroke, only their black max at the garden section. Stopped by auto section and there are plenty of TCW3 oil but no VP. Went to the other Walmart store, same story. Pulled up on the app and no Walmart in 30...

I was at Walmart the other day and this caught my eye. Synthetic is $10.98 and semi synthetic $5.48. I was just curious if synthetic really that much better? If I'm a penny pincher and run 40:1 or thicker does it really matter for me to spend extra on synthetic? I know it's not JASO certified...

came across this article the other day. I assumed 100% ethanol burns faster and hotter, possibly. But would 10% really makes that big of difference?

Hello everybody! I'm getting ready to change coolant on my 01 cummins. Its about 30k on the current and i try to change it about every 30k miles with cheap green coolant. All my previous coolant changes I purchased 50/50 pre diluted coolant and just poured it in until it was full. A while back...

What do you use and why? What is the chemical difference? I've always used purple power. Cheap, can buy in bulk and seemed like it worked well. Mainly used it on anything pertaining to vehicles (grease or fuel related). But also used it in the house a little. At work we use simple green on...

Good evening everyone. I was given DR field and brush mower. It has finish mower attachment, it is older with 11HP BS motor but looks like it has been taken care of. I have changed ignition coil, oil and belt. It's been working really good. Today it was noticing that transmission belt is...

Hey guys, Long story short is that I inherited older DR field mower with 11 HP Briggs and Stratton motor. It is running and cutting good now. Recently I've noticed that it's a little wet under the valve cover. I was wondering if I could use silicon gasket on that or should I just order an...

Hello everyone. Going through a purchase of total 5 acres that have 2 acres flat cleared out with grass. There are some leafy trees around, some leaves in the fall expected. I used to have riding 42" mower without bag and it did good on .75 acre grass only. But now I'm going to have southern...

Hello everyone. This week going to be changing spark plugs on my 2017 grand Cherokee 3.6 pentastar. I was also advised to change intake gaskets since it's almost 100k miles on it. Got myself 2 cans of carb cleaner so I can clean out throttle body and everything around it. Anything else I should...

Howdy folks, I got a good job with great schedule and I have time to side hustle. I'm also will be looking to purchase some acreage in the next 6-12 months. So I've been throwing around an idea to purchase a skid steer. I would like to learn more about them. Would you have a good forum you can...

Hey guys. I have never seen this before. I don't think it's not normal. What could be the problem here? Why is it doing that. It was running very well up until yesterday and slowly quit. But sounded like carb issue so I was cleaning the carb. And since it was apart already I was going to...

Question to you electronic/electric gurus. I purchased used Generac XT800e that came without trickle charger. I was about to order a OEM replacement but realized I have a spare charger that has exactly same port. My question is: Charger that I have is select 6v or 12v output and goes up to 1a...

I'm toying with idea of updating my daily driver. Currently I have 05 VW B5.5 Passat tdi and I kind of eye-balling newer versions of VW TDi. But randomly came across Chevy cruze diesels. Anything good to say about those little cars?

Hey guys. I have Ryobi 3100psi pressure washer with Honda GSV 190 motor that I got used long time ago. It's always been kind of funky at the begging. Starts good. Sometimes when it doesn't start on first or second pull it'll build up pressure in the line and I'll have to squeeze the trigger in...

Our winters here in Seattle area usually don't fall below low 40's. But occasionally we get snow. The other day we had our snow-magedon and as usual ingot my LEAF blower out. .......... Got a chuckle out of it? Okay....... Yes... If we have fresh and dry snow unusually blow it around to clear s...

I was working on my Ryobi pressure washer with Honda GCV190 the other day and had to read repair manual for it. According to the manual GCV 190 requires NGK bpr5es but in pressure washer applications it needs bpr6es. I removed my plug and came to find out it's bpr5es. I've been running that...
