I don't get it. Replacing your bad module with Mrs White's bad module fixed your car?

Yes, you are right. My new ACDelco AGM is made in Korea. Let's hope it lasts longer than my previous Germany made Varta.

No start condition in the 2021 Audi a few days ago. Car was used 3-4 days a week only, and always for longer than a hour per trip. Sometimes it didn't get use for a week or three. If so, I would give it a top off 7 ampere hours charge every 7 days with my dumb charger. Factory original 75 AHour...

My Toyota pickup owner's manual of years ago says to grease the propeller shaft zerks every oil change (roughly 5000 to 7000 miles). I do that and the U-joints seem to last forever.

Just changed out the original front brake disc pads on the ol' Toyota SUV. At the 51,000 miles mark, the pads were down to 1.5 mm thickness. The Rotor surfaces were mirror smooth, not even minor scratches !

I'd like to see all the other contestants !

This product is alkaline-based, 15%-40% sodium hydroxide accdg to a quick web search, which can damage aluminum tubing and fins if used in too high concentrations or applied on those parts for too long. Do not get it on your skin or eyes, use gloves and eye goggles! Be sure to very very...

In not too recent past, two of my window style air conditioners would automatically cut off the compressors after only 3 minutes. Turns out the high side has automatic abnormal high pressure protection. Cause was too much mud on the rear condenser fins from the water condensate fan slinger. Now...

I don't really use my crv much, so I change the oil and Honda original filter (made by Mann Siam) every 3 years (7500 miles). The last time I did that, I opened up the used filter, and saw nothing abnormal.

Immediately after your oil change, there are fewer particles in the oil so I'm inclined to start with the less efficient filter. At the 7500 mile mark, the oil is now dirtier so it makes sense to now use the more efficient filter.

A year ago had the front ball joints replaced with original Hondas. It was twilight when i retrieved the car. The next morning I looked underneath and found the mechanic had used GI wire instead of cotter pins on the castle nuts!

Lab error? Get them to do a retest. The iron content is suspiciously high for a newish engine.

It was in 1968, not mine, but my cousin's fiancee's. 1961 bright red Thunderbird. I really admired that car.

I am now reminded of a PHYSICIAN guy friend (60 years old then) who was having chest pains just before the 2020 pandemic. Due to significant coronary artery blockages. He proudly told me he's gonna beat this with the correct plant diet, medication, exercise and rest/stress reduction. No surgery...

I do acknowledge that many diseases humans get are due to inappropriate diet. But genetics also play a big part in many many cases. Especially in cardiovascular diseases and some cancers. Look no further than India. Medical literature acknowledges 20% - 25% of the adult population have...
