Good luck! Hope it helps narrow-down the issue. Use the recording feature and then view the graph it creates. The graph is what I used to show the service writer at the dealership the vibration amplitude at different speeds.

You could try the NVH app. It's $100, but might be worth it. I had a vibration problem at 2200 miles on a brand new 2025 Jeep. Two tire balances, a tire rotation and an alignment didn't help. Dealer said nothing wrong that they can see or feel. So I bought and downloaded the NVH app. It...

Global Entry card will work as a real ID for U.S. domestic flights. Also automatically gives you TSA pre-check. Global Entry also lets you skip the immigration line when returning/entering the U.S. at most major airports. Saves a lot of time when returning to the U.S from anywhere outside the...

DOT 3/4 fluid is not compatible with DOT 5 and should never be mixed. Conversion from DOT 3/4 to DOT 5 is difficult and requires complete removal and clean-out of DOT 3/4 from the entire braking system. DOT 5 fluid is not compatible with ABS systems. Most modern vehicles including many...

Same pipeline, same tank farms, same truck loading terminals, same gas. However, the loading terminals have several separate detergent additive tanks that supply varying additives at varying amounts based on the fuel brand's specific additive specifications. The additives are injected into...

Poorly. If you invested $100 in the S&P 500 at the beginning of 1960, you would have about $47,173.47 at the end of 2023, assuming you reinvested all dividends. This is a return on investment of 47,073.47%, or 10.15% per year. This lump-sum investment beats inflation during this period for an...

Great "Muscle Car DIY" article originally attached by "Greasymechtech". This excerpt from the article probably describes the reason for the failure of the original poster's Buick engine: "One of the most important steps in building any Buick engine is measuring bearing tolerances. Be careful...

Yep. You can pass Illinois emissions with EVAP not ready also.

Ha! I get a bigger cent-per-gallon (cpg) discount in Illinois on my Discover card. $.30 on every gallon. I love Illinois.

I worked for a major oil company. Most gas stations have two underground gasoline storage tanks. One for regular and one for premium. 89 octane gasoline was blended at the dispenser using 65% 87 octane regular and 35% 93 octane premium.

Agree. Scary. Never thought of China as a 3rd world country. I've now changed my mind. Can't believe they sell this junk...............and e-bay allows it.

Yep. and the parts are needed often.

Buy the vehicle for the buyout number. The finance company owns the car and holds the title, not the dealer. Your daughter won't need to go to the dealer and certainly won't need to turn the car in. Call the lease company and they will give you a buyout number with all taxes and fees included...

Commodity price of Pure Ethanol is now $1.80 per gallon. Commodity price of Pure Gasoline (not RBOB) is $2.01 per gallon. The difference in price is $0.21 or 21 cents per gallon. A 10% ethanol blended gasoline is about 2.1 cents per gallon lower cost to the gas station than a pure gasoline...
