I bought 4 new. 3 were good, one was out of round. Theyre quite except for the highway vibration because of the out of round one. I thought it was originally a balancing issue since i took it to another tire shop to have them rebalanced and they showed me how the bad tire and how it goes up and...

Well after all this input looks like i’ll he going gm for the motor mounts below.

I just got a 2010 impala 3.9l with 100k. There’s a lot of play on the engine when changing gears from park to neutral to reverse etc. I believe that means it’s time for new engine mounts. Are the anchor brand mounts any good? I see they are priced well and sold in various places like rockauto...

Thanks for the read!

Finally but not as good as before. Have to buy 10 qts now. Before it was $10 back on 5 qts

Thank you all. Was considering it for my newly acquired 2001 GMC Sierra v8 with 194k on the odometer. Will probably get the SuperTech dino

I see it’s rated SN GF-5. Anyone use this for an oil change? How’s the additive package looking? Would you use it without worries?

How about going down one grade. In this case from 5w-30 (what ‘07-‘13 5.3L silverados call for) to 0w-20

This here ^

The ‘07-‘13 5.3L vortec calls for 5w-30 The ‘14-‘18 5.3L vortec calls for 0w-20 isn’t it the same exact engine? I have a ‘09 Silverado (5w-30) but a stash of 0w-20 oil on me. Is it ok for me to use it on this truck? People with knowledge on the GM vortec engines please reply.

Haha

Yes it happens to be! Haha

This here ^ bought the car used less than 1 year ago. Didn’t think to inspect all the tires for plugs and if so how many when I was buying it.

I had a tire that was slowly leaking air. Went to the tire shop today and they found a small nail. He also showed me there were 4 other plugs on the tread in different spots around the tire. He asked if i wanted a plug, patch, or get a new tire. Told him to plug it. Now am thinking should’ve of...

Update! Went back to the tire shop. Since it was pulling to the left, had to the 2 front swapped to the opposite side. They checked the balance and both were perfectly balanced. I then test drove it and it pulled to the RIGHT now.
