yep. 2020.

also not that old maybe only 2 months tops

Yes it's a 1 gallon but it's actually a lot of trouble to go get gas, especially the ethanol-free gas, as this is a rural area. I could maybe pour some in a glass jar then and look at it. Then compare to some gas from the regular can I use for other machines.

Hi - I have a string trimmer which uses gas for fuel (so not electric). I've never used a device where I was told to add oil directly to the fuel but whatever. I had it set up a couple of months ago but winter got bad so I haven't used it yet. The gas that is in it now was put in at the shop who...

changed it once before & used Redline but they are having supply issues. what's a comparable brand please? 03 Ford Ranger 6 cyl RWD 3L gas engine Thanks!

ok, this is a 2003 Ford Ranger & yeah I get that it's gonna creak as it ages. The thing is I had it at the mechanic's less than a month ago to check sounds I heard from the brakes & he found the RF ball joint was bad. That had been creaking something fierce but I had grown used to it & since...

ok so I have a good mechanic that I trust plus I actually consider him brilliant. that being said, when it comes to brakes, I've always gone to Midas for over 20 yrs. Last yr during inspection I was told would probably need brakes w/i the yr, so I went to Midas to get them checked, he printed an...

Originally Posted By: exranger06 So I just went to Rockauto's website and looked up a lock cylinder for your 03 Ranger. The Dorman set is for trucks WITHOUT a chipped key. That won't work in your truck. I'm honestly not sure why they even list that as an option. As far as I know, all 03 Rangers...

Originally Posted By: Colt45ws Ive installed several Dorman parts, and I always end up going back and buying OE ford part. The most recent was the oil cooler hoses I put on my car. I had the same issue. It was $35 for the Dorman hose set vs $150 for the Ford set. I put the dorman ones on. Within...

just checked Ford's website - they want + $100 for a new cylinder - !!! why on earth would I want to pay that much for this part - so far there's been no convincing argument that Dorman is any less suitable -

Originally Posted By: Colt45ws I would not use Dorman for anything like this. Just asking for trouble. Also, carry a cresent wrench if it happens again. You can go under the truck and take the nut off the cable to the gear selector on the side of the trans, and pop it in neutral by hand. Just...
