    Sync Update Finally Available!!!

    For any of yall F150 owners that have had issues with the infotainment system recently, Ford has come out with an update that seems to have taken care of the issues. Some of the problems were multiple confirmation screens on every startup, only two pages of radio presets, not syncing with...

    What oils did you use for carbeurated vehicles

    If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were my dad posting! He had a green 73 Torino Sport with the 351W. Strictly used Pennzoil 10w40 and I remember many times helping him as kid being the official spout puncher on oil changes or helping with whatever he was fixing. I also remember almost...

    2014 Nissan Altima

    The wife had a 2014 Altima S for about six years and 35-40k miles. I don't remember any big issues with it. The rear brakes squealed staring about 10k, but that was taken care of. The CVT had a reflash once or twice (Nissan recall or tsb, cant remember) which made it act like it had gears when...

    Five years on Dewalt 5.0 AH string trimmer

    I would have thought a 10 Ah battery would go full or at least useful power longer than five minutes. Granted, I have no battery powered OPE experience but just seems like it would be a bit longer.

    Why are there so many AWD cars now?

    While certainly not necessary, I really wish we'd have gotten AWD on my wife's 22 Santa Fe 2.5T. The engine puts out a goodly amount of torque and easily overpowers the front wheels, especially when turning and/or shifting the weight off the inner tire.

    Anyone Ever Balance A Ceiling Fan ?

    The box stores usually sell balancing kits that have a clip on weight and self stick weights as well as the directions. The cliffs notes version is: 1) put the fan on whichever speed has the most wobble 2) put the clip on weight on the middle of a blade (doesn't matter which). Run the fan, see...

    How is the Lucas gun oil?

    If you're talking about the green Extreme Duty version, it seems to be pretty good stuff to me. It has just the right viscosity to stay put or atleast leave a good film on slide rails when its sitting vertical in a holster day after day. It's also can be had for pretty cheap at Oreily Auto...

    Mobil 1 5w30 FS European Formula

    Hey all! First post but long time lurker. I was out and about looking for some black lug nuts for my F150 at the local parts stores and did the usual tour of the oil racks. I was looking to see if there was any SP rated 0w40 available when I cam across this at Advance. Never saw it before...

    Who does cylinder deactivation well?

    only rarely could i notice any change in my 2012 Charger. Usually it was just the slight droning noise at certain rpms. My 2018 Tahoe is, in normal drive mode invisible. However, if it put it in tow mode, it'll drone at certain rpms.

    What brand of spark plug

    #1 for me would typically be NGK. Having said that, a lot of the vehicles I've had have used NGK, or Denso, as OEM. Just from a brand standpoint, I prefer NGK over Champion due to, what seems to me, better build quality. Looking at both, I've noticed the machining and finishing such as the...

    I believe Maxima K2 is orange.

    Just needs a spark plug they said...

    It always amazes me when people buy fancy or expensive things and not know how to use them or take care of them! You'd think someone buying an Echo backpack blower would have some experience with 2 cycle equipment.

    Only 3 Kmarts remaining in the USA and I visited a store last week

    I think the name was "Motorvator" and it was a copy of/made by Purolator.

    Just got a new Sig P320 XFull

    You'll enjoy the green dot. I have a 407c with a green dot on my M&P 10mm and plan on going green on any optic from now on. Also, just my opinion, but you should consider the 407 unless you are really really wanting the extra reticle options. A friend of mine has the 507 and although I like the...
