    Plastic repair- whats your secret sauce?

    Not really- was looking at that tho. If the material melts I plan on drilling undersize holes and heating finishing nails red hot and insert- rebar so to speak.

    Plastic repair- whats your secret sauce?

    My last repair lasted a couple years, highly doubtful you'll find a good one at the wreckers- just a crap design. Also thinking of straight up fiberglass resin. Will reinforce as well and torque bolts lightly, mounted on carpet. Drilled out the holes larger so any misalignment won't stress it more.

    Block heaters, oil pan heaters, cold starts, reduced engine wear, etc.?

    Anything under -20C I plug in- and I have all of those devices including trickle charger. In Edmonton the vehicle will never see 1mil km's let alone miles the body will fall apart.

    Swapped engines in my wife's Grand Caravan

    I'd take used oem any day over a rebuild. But I'd rather personally see it running before purchase.

    Quality Control - Domestic vs Japan

    On my accord I pulled the interior and installed about 50lbs of mass loaded vinyl to get a handle on road noise.

    Quality Control - Domestic vs Japan

    I disagree, they are better than the rest- all the manufacturers have dropped, offering less to the consumer for inflated prices.

    irritating problems and issues on a used car for sale

    I don't understand the logic- they would have sold it on the spot if running correct. He's still rocking a 09 ford 6.0L desiel as the price of trucks are stupid now- he does want a gasser now preferably Toyota- but Toyota has their own issues.

    Nissan and Toyota never impressed for mileage= even far newer models. Best you can do is tune up to newish spec. Maybe tires, get a full boar injector cleaning, make sure air tract is in good condition. Maybe a scan for proper function, timing...

    2000 OBS K3500 454 miss firing

    Just because the parts are new doesn't mean they cannot be defective, I've had had two 'new' ACD plugs replaced after two separate tune ups.
