I used to think ReactOS was slow with their releases but now it looks dead... no new release in 2 years?

Probably best to find someone with a diesel to just slowly mix it into the fuel or someone who burns a quart a week.

Cessna prices have outpaced inflation even more so than something like a Beechcraft Bonanza.

When I had my 2010 Honda Civic that had a slight refrigerant leak I used a manifold set while referencing the service manual. The service manual had a pressure check procedure (open glovebox, max AC, RPMs at 2000, all doors open, etc.). I referenced the output temperature & low/high side...

46 ft-lbs is probably for the pitman arm nut that connects it to the relay rod. The nut that connects the arm to the steering gear should be 184 ft-lbs. Sounds correct for a 1500.

Car Wizard? I heard the same thing. I think it might just be a GM thing.

Beautiful cars.

Still $3.96 a pop at Rock Auto. $3.72 each if you buy a case of 12.

I mail packages much larger than oil samples in USPS collection boxes all the time. The 10oz rule applies to stamped packages only. Prepaid return labels and internet postage does not apply.

Stopped by to pick up some PVC at Home Depot and bought a 5 qt container of Castrol 10W-40 High Mileage semi-synthetic. Thanks!

Nothing against Snap-on. I love them! Just the fact they had to try suing Harbor Freight when at the end of the day the parts for the jack were coming out of a Chinese factory is sad & misleading. "Assembled in the USA" is as sketchy as it gets.

Snap-on probably still upset that the Daytona jack was coming out of the same Asian factory...

Correct. The leak slowed down but considering the vehicle is only in Phoenix I thought it couldn't hurt to try 10W-40.

Yes looking at a high mileage conventional oil. Vehicle is the non-VCM model. Originally spec'd for 5w-20. Always ran 5w-30. Leaks got better with conventional 5w-30 but still there. Main seal replacement along with the other leaking locations too $$$ to warrant fixing.

Probably a silly question but would I cause any issues running a 10W-40 in a Honda Pilot that only sees Phoenix, AZ weather? Vehicle is starting to get a little leaky and I'd like to move from conventional 5W-30 to something a tad thicker. 10W-40 seems to be spec'd for this exact engine in...
