    New STP Max Performance S7317ML (Made in Vietnam) Cut Open

    I know about the Carquest. The STP MP filters I looked at were definitely not PGI filters.

    New STP Max Performance S7317ML (Made in Vietnam) Cut Open

    I stopped by AZ lastnight and looked at the two new STP filters for a couple of my vehicles. The 9972 Toyota filter said Made in Mexico. Looked very similar to a Fram Endurance, better glue. The other (22500 equivalent) said Made in USA and looked very "Champ" like. I thought they were all...

    New Washing Machine Recommendations

    I LOVE my LG washer and dryer. They have been great! the only thing that bugs me about it is that it won't default to cold water on normal wash.

    The refrigerator water filter rip off.

    I just use the bypass that came with the fridge. Water line comes from the RO system, so much better than what the little charcoal filter can do.

    R-444A VS R-1234YF refrigerant

    The idea is to pass the cost saving on to the customer. Don't think it was ever intended to be a shaddy product to cheat customers or increase GP. Also, currently (in my market at least) the cost is ~30% less expensive than 1234yf. That may fluctuate, but it's not like it cost 1/10 of...

    R-444A VS R-1234YF refrigerant

    It is compatible with the 1234yf machines. The identifier doesn't know the difference. That seems like a lot of extra work that someone is going to do just to try to deny a warranty claim.

    R-444A VS R-1234YF refrigerant

    It is enough of a cost savings that makes it worth it for sure.

    R-444A VS R-1234YF refrigerant

    Recently started using R-444A in place of R-1234YF. I can tell you from experience that the R-444A definitely does a better job at cooling than the 1234YF. It cools fast, gets colder, is less expensive, and it identifies as R-1234YF lol. Anyone else using this in their shop?

    Put Bilstein 5100 on my 2019 Tacoma

    Shock Surplus has some good YT videos going over the differences between the Bilstein lines. You will never notice a difference between 4600 and 5100's really. You will be happy with either. The 4600 are Yellow, the 5100 are Silver. A lot of people don't like the yellow look for the 4600s...

    Put Bilstein 5100 on my 2019 Tacoma

    The rear shocks are not going to affect ride height?

    Put Bilstein 5100 on my 2019 Tacoma

    True. There really isn't any change in ride between the two of them. I would probably go with 5100's at the stock spring height just because I think they look cooler than the 4600 lol
