    Hyundai SP-IV Transmission Fluid

    Has anyone taken the plunge with aftermarket ATF? I got a 2012 Hyundai Accent from my mother, she just didn't like all the bells and whistles.....lol, so I got it....love me some hand me downs....it's at 79000 now......figure at 100k I should probably change out the ATF.....manual specs MICHANG...

    How long should LT tires last?

    Wow.....lol and I was coming in thinking this was a complaint thread :P haha....my grandfather was just pricing LT tires....and he was shocked that so many places do not offer a milage warranty on LT class tires....they explained due to the loads that the tires are capable of carrying, and they...

    Good cell phone holder for car

    I've had horrible luck with cell phone holders lol...the best one I've had though was the Grip and Go thing....worst part about it, it fell a couple times off the windshield and the gooey sticky stuff, if it gets dirty on it, the phone won't stick, so you gotta wash it, and then let it air...

    So called "top tier" gas more a gimmick??

    funny enough, i started using sams gas when I got my membership (primary advantage really...lol) and yea, my mpg seems to have gone up a couple points...which is odd, due to all the bad reviews we hear about "grocery store gas"....given, this is a newer built complex...built on it's own land...

    '09 Toyota Prius with 465,000 miles Retired

    yea, the brakes makes sense. especially if he's "hyper miling" he ain't likely braking too often... :P quite a feat though....mad props lol.

    Perfectly good engine run to ruin--no oil

    crazy video Kind of neat....but yea, buddy of mine works at a Walmart TLE....they get them in all the time, only a drop drains out...etc....crazy like he said one chick thought you were supposed to change the oil when the oil light came on....(oil pressure light that is...this was a 96 Dodge...

    focus trans change at 150k?!

    I'd say roll with the owner's manual...it's a 2010....most modern vehicles are coming from the factory with synthetic fills now, to last...now if it's driven under severe stop and go conditions, you might "meet in the middle" just for safety sake...

    Lucas transmission stabilizer

    I've had no complaints from Trans-X....I typically use it as top off between atf changes every 20k....

    Parts availability for old cars

    Quote: You may have slight issues with a mechanic who only uses NAPA and only uses them right away. Might have to special order through brick & mortar, might have to mail order. Has never been easier! I got filters for my antique tagged Mercedes 240d through amazon... a bookstore! yep, that'll...

    Installed a rear swaybar on the Focus! Woah!

    Is this the same as a "track bar"? LOL...even my 88 Dodge Aries has a rear sway bar (and shocks...) in the rear...struts up front (no sporty torsion bar or anything up front though LOL, not actually a moto-cross car...though there are a couple of them on youtube that have modified to do such ;))...

    Scores of new Chevys stored for decades undriven

    kinda crazy thought, but I know when I got my "barely driven" 88 Dodge Aries 2.2L....with only roughly 25k on the clock....yea, it needed a bit of work...oil pan gasket was weeping, vacuum lines were all brittle and needed replacement (had a very high idle...and would have to feather the...

    Radio antennae

    ouch. yea, walmart sells a "generic" Scosche antenna/mast...but it may look a bit "odd" on the vehicle...depending on where it's mounted...since the antenna itself is a good 1-1.5" tall...that's a guesstimate though

    What's your favorite seafoaming fluid?

    Seafoam in itself there is no substitutions! lol...well, really...couldn't see any good coming from anything else going thru the intake...though I have heard and read that water de-carbonization is about the best......though there is said to be some risk of "hydrolock".... Then again, I have...
