I saw some similar use at a tire place. I asked about the jacks they were using, and said," these jacks must be OK if you use them here commercially." He told me, "Nah. They last about a month for us." Was some cheap looking imports.

I do this on the Nissan Frontier, since I have a supply pf crush washers. Depending on the vehicle's sealing washer -- if it's flat soft aluminum or plastic -- it probably doesn't get changed.

If indeed the original spec is 1.1mm (accurate only to the tenths place), you might think that could be rounded from 1.051 to 1.149. In which case correct could be 0.041 to 0.045. I'd say leave them.

What part of Illinois? I'm in Illinois, near St. Louis. Took my new Nissan Frontier to Krown Rustproofing, in St. Louis, and just returned for the annual re-application. Why they are there in St. Louis, I'm not sure; the next closest Krown outlet is in Ohio. While I was in there last fall...

Weber Auto YouTube demonstration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNcecuGzTDg Didn't watch the link posted near the top of this thread. Don't know if this is the procedure it describes. Should be.

Regarding those who cautioned its use in transfer cases.. right, I know there was some issue. The 97 Explorer in fact, using Mercon V in the trans still called for Mercon in the transfer case. Thanks everybody.

I am preparing to get rid of my 97 Ford Explorer, which will leave me with a good supply of Mercon V fluid that I never got around to using. I'm proposing to use it in the transfer case of the 02 Jeep Liberty, since that is a NP 231, part-time box with no clutches. Am I OK to go this way ? What...

I have been there since 2003, and my interest has waned considerably recently. I'll be getting rid of my '89 CV soon. I have gotten good information there when I needed it. In 2011 I learned what I needed to know to replace my heater core. Nasty Job.

Saturday was my 10th anniversary here. Member 471. Glad to see we're still alive and thriving. I've learned a lot here. Not here as often now as I used to be, but still here when I can and when I have questions. I'm still drawing down my big oil stash I accumulated based on recommendations here.

I don't remember the M.A.S.H. episode, but here's the inspiration. Bill Mauldin, Willie & Joe.
