    2016 F150 5.0 230,000 under VC pics

    I thought I was stealing it at $1.32 a few days ago. $0.86 is crazy.

    Replace Ford Windstar AC Clutch Bearing in Vehicle?

    I would press in the bearing and run it like that. Those grooves do not concern me.

    Walmart oil prices - Ah!

    Delvac is still $70 a bucket. If your car cant use it get a different car.

    New oil pump priming

    On old push rod engines you pull the distributor and use basically a long hex shaft tool to prime it installed. What drives the pump on that 6.2? That pump shown has what looks like a 5/16 drive input. If you can not get to whatever drives in installed, just bolt on the pick up and put the...

    Plug and Play Home Solar coming to the USA

    I connected one of the generic inverters and 500 watts of panels a couple years ago. On the second day there was a guy from the electric company at my house telling me it was illegal. Apparently the new meters can see what you are doing.

    Real trucks have 2 doors and an 8 foot bed.

    Teslas are becoming the new Camrys.

    Those do look sharp and I would like to feel how hard they pull. I can not get the math to work for me though at $24K. I have been putting about 15K a year on my old Lincoln at 25mpg. Even if gas reached $4 that would be $2400 a year. 10 years to break even if electricity was free. Then there is...

    ZF6 and transfer case in 2002 F-350 call for Mercon V - recommendations?

    I do not know the technical reason to why it should not be used. I bought Motorcraft Mercon V maybe 15 years ago and it said "Do not use in transfer case" on the label. That is all the why I need.

    ZF6 and transfer case in 2002 F-350 call for Mercon V - recommendations?

    The manual called for Mercon on both. Where did you see it calling for Mercon V in the transfer case? Ignore that source of information forever since Mercon V is specifically prohibited in t-cases. As for "best", probably a TES-295 or 668.

    Detroit Truetrac in 2002 F-350 - viscosity question

    The Aftermarket posi is not the only thing using the lube. You have gears and bearings in that 1 ton axle calling for 140.

    Under hood rat damage to 2025 Canyon

    Looks like a purge line but I have not seen one with metal inside. Have your guy check the hose farther back in the picture. That one looks bad also.

    Boroscoped the cylinders on my 2014 Acura RLX today

    What model number is that scope? Those pictures are far superior to the ones I have produces.

    Odd Dremel question for brake rotors

    I am not grasping this. You will remove a bolt and grind it some. Why can't you leave that bolt out, do the brake job, then put the bolt back in?

    Why wouldn't a 5w50 be better than a 5w40?

    Again that number is the winter rating where it is safe to start. It is not a thickness.

    Scotty Kilmers' P0420 method

    The special tool is the air compressor. Small piece of wood between the piston and caliper body to stop it. I have done it several times. No more dangerous than most things car related.
