If driving on mountain passes, placing the shifter in S4 will help with the transmission temps. In S4, the torque converter doesn't slip, which causes the fluid temps to increase. I trailered a car with my 2019 Tundra over 700 miles and used S4 as the owner's manual suggests. Fluid temp was...

The close ups and description of the AC Delco plug on Rockauto show an iridium tip but a standard ground electrode. Much like the design of the Iridium Power 5339 plug.

Same here; some people just want to yell at the clouds. Lots of decent deals on trucks. Thanks for sharing facts.

Dexron III or Dexron VI; don't use Type F.

Understand, but two-thirds of the list are the ingredients for multiple types of buns.

When they first came on the menu (10+ years ago), they chopped the grilled breast and served those as the grilled nuggets. They are probably more popular now and “pre-prepared”. Either way, much better ways to eat and spend $$.

They were cut pieces of the grilled chicken breast at one time. That may have changed?

Its not an inferior option.

Assuming this isn’t a ruse, all of the oil must not be draining out, leaving about quart in the engine.

Those are good, comfortable commuters that get decent gas mileage. Unless he travels well outside of NY state to buy, I suspect any of those cars will be rust buckets by now.

If your Kohler 7000 only takes 1 quart and all of the old oil is draining out, I would be concerned that the dipstick is incorrect for the engine.

1st gen Tundra (2000-06) and Sequoia (-2007) were plagued with them. Aftermarket ball joints are usually worse in quality & faster to fail, but lift kits and bigger wheels/tires speed up the process too. No shortage of stock failures though. Poor design.

Unfortunately, its the new normal for filters coming from Wix and Purolator, generally from the Fayetteville NC facility. Toss it or return it.

The lower ball joints break if you look at them wrong. Engine is solid though.

You are assuming that the dealership was telling the truth about the car. Most have no idea about the history, other than it came from the auction.
