What does the "E" signify with the AC Delco filters? On Amazon I see PF61 and PF61E for my '02 Chevy Trailblazer. Currently I am trying to decide whether to keep using the old PF58s I bought 20 years ago. I still have 6. They have been stored in the garage in their original boxes inside the...

The original studio version. I still remember the first time I heard this on vacation in Colorado in 1975 driving toward Colorado Springs in my '71 Chevelle 400 big block with the rear deck 6X9 speakers....

Been using Truck-Lite NYK-77 Corrosion Preventive Compound on all bulb contacts and most electrical connections since a friend who is a big rig diesel mechanic gave me a tube of it years ago. They use it on all bulb contacts. At the time 20 years ago GM was having a lot of issues with the wire...

I've had no problem leaving one of my Noco chargers indefinitely connected to maintain a battery. I have an 11 year old Optima Red top in my 2002 Trailblazer that sits for sometimes weeks in charge-maintenance mode. However, the "Repair" mode comes with a caution. That was the question that...

Noco mentions in the instructions that vehicle electronics could be damaged using the restore or repair mode.

I have a LUX thermostat too, 7 day programmable. I use it in the manual mode. Main reason I like the LUX is because it has adjustable temperature swing or differential. As far as I know LUX is the only brand that has that feature.

They do. The "Breakfast Blend" medium roast, and the "Signature Blend" dark, which I have a cup of in front of me now. Bought a couple of bags last week at Kroger on sale for $4.49 a bag. You might want to check other stores.

My '02 Trailblazer has the Delco CD-Cassette radio. Which manufacturer had the last AM Stereo radio and when was it discontinued? Of course there are no known AM Stereo broadcasters left.

Been wearing the seat belt since my 1965 Corvair days as a teenager. It would go around corners pretty quickly and had slick vinyl seats. I wore it so I wouldn't slide around! Later it became more apparent there were other safety reasons to do so.

Definitely prefer incandescents over LED and CFL for the low range dimming ability. I use incandescent bulbs in the hall and bathroom light fixtures and run those way down low. The LEDs are too bright at their lowest reliable setting and if the power glitches off for whatever reason they won't...

Had to make my own "Made in U.S.A." license plate frame. Couldn't find one to buy anywhere for my trusty old 2002 Trailblazer. Still going strong. Bought it new in Jan 2002 during GM's "Keep America Rolling" campaign after 9/11.

A few I recall... Fina ("with Pflash") , Conoco and slogan "Hottest Brand Going". Shamrock, Jet Gas, FasGas, Sello and their slogan "That's what we do." was Mobil's self-service cheaper brand, DX, Hudson. I know there are more that came and went. I used to buy "100+ Octane" gas at Fed Mart.

Thanks for the replies! A lot different than my father's '50 Studebaker! This was apparently Aunt Bee's final scene, from 1970. "The Mynah Bird" episode. "Sam" (Ken Barry) was driving, Aunt Bee was a passenger.

That was fast! Thanks!
