I have a newer 3T Arcan jack (from Costco - not sure of the model), which is only a couple of years old. Mine has had a similar issue since new. The pitch of the squealing changes a bit, based on how much load is on the jack. Jacking up our smaller car (Elantra Touring) only created a slight...

Surfstar, you are only living life close to the edge. I'm not too worried about the weight, so I have a 2 ton hydrolic [sp] jack and breaker bar in my truck (extended cab -- stuff behind seat), but don't carry a spare because the mounting thingy under the box is busted and I don't want to put a...

I am using 0W30 XD-3 in my '94 Dakota 3.9l. It's been in there for about 3 weeks now. I haven't noticed any problems yet. I was worried about having low oil pressure, but the pressure doesn't seem to be very much less than the 0W40 I was using previously. It doesn't drop below the normal range...

If you buy a case of the XD-3 and don't like it, I may buy the rest of it from you if you live close to St. John's. I've purchased a case of XD-3 0W30, but haven't had a chance to change out either of my vehicles with it yet. I've only used it for top ups so far. I'd say that I'll probably be...

Isn't it somewhere in a 'mower etiquette (sp?)' book that it is perfectly acceptable to not mow in temps above 80°F/25°C? FWIW, the GF is always nagging me about mowing the lawn. I always tell her to at least give it a chance to grow before I cut it again.

So, you guys have seen my truck already, have you!

Notice how he is always turning left -- must be a Nascar Driver!

Because everyone knows that if it is not stated that it is "strictly enforced", then it is automatically "casually enforced"!

I've only purchased a cell phone a few months ago. Up till then, I've had absolutely no use for them, especially to pay $30 or $40 a month to only use it a few times a week. Even then, it wasn't really necessary. But now, I drive a taxi on the weekends and the phone has been a good investment...

How ironic would it be if the families in this area could somehow get the money to build a shopping mall, hotel, or whatever in the area where some of the judges live, and then get the city to throw their families out of their homes to make room for the development?

A co-worker has a Tracker (I believe it is a '97). Last fall, he had to replace one of the front auto-locking hubs (for the 4WD). The part cost around $800 CDN (new -- there were no used ones to be found). Then, this spring, the one on the other side went. Other than that, I don't think he had...

That's absolutely true. And, after a period of time telling them to pi** off, they eventually get the hint and stop asking.

Just read this one this morning. Thought it would be good for a laugh. Two men dressed in pilot’s uniforms walk up the aisle of the airplane. Both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a guide dog, and the other is tapping his way along the aisle with a cane. Nervous laughter spreads...

You probably should be doing a UOA just after you get out of the river to see if you can make it all the way to work!

Oh yeah, something else... You don't really need a scanner to realize bad drivers. Just park somewhere in sight of a 4-way stop for an hour or more and you can have yourself a good laugh for a while!
