    McAfee & Malwarebyts.

    If your running windows 10, you don't need an antivirus program at all. Just use Defender. I also use Malwarebytes to catch other stuff.

    New Acoustic guitar suggestions

    I would keep the guitar you have. I would save more money up and buy a Martin D-35. If you know what your looking for on a used one, you can get one for $1500.00-$2500.00. A new one is $2700.00. Best purchase of my life back in 1974.

    Down one whole quart in 2500 miles

    Changing to a full Syn sometimes causes this. Sometimes it goes away after a few OCI's. Sometimes it doesn't. My 07 Mark LT, 5.4 V-8 never burned oil until i changed to PU at 50k miles. I changed to this oil over MC Semi Syn to have longer OCI's but it ended up costing more because of burning a...

    New shocks transformed my truck

    I put Bilstein Heavy Duty's on my 07 Mark LT 4x4 at 50k miles and loved the stiffness when needed but the easy riding on the highway. Love them!

    ford says to use 5w20 =[

    You should use what it says on the oil cap and manual for your truck. Earlier 5.4's called for 5w30 then it was changed to 5w20 on newer motors.

    Starter with a flat spot

    Thanks for the input. Another reason to think it might be in the ignition is that sometimes when I start the truck, the ignition with the key in it doesn't back off to the start position easily. It will stay in the forward starting position until you help it back off. I've been told that to many...

    Starter with a flat spot

    It sounds like a dead or flat spot when you first start the truck. 72k miles. No issue with battery, Sears Platnum and no connections corroded on the battery. How do i test the starter with a button remote? I don't have remote start. Thanks for the input!

    Starter with a flat spot

    My 2007 Mark LT has a flat spot or delay when I start the truck right at the first turn of the key. It starts fine but is this a sign of trouble?

    How many miles for first oil change?

    As long as the engine doesn't burn any oil, I'd wait until the recommended OCI. If you get a half quart low, I change the oil and filter right away to be able to top off with correct oil.

    Ford Mustang V6 Coolant Change Interval

    Most dealerships just drain and refill. If they truly flush it and refill system, not a bad price. If they drain and refill it, thats expensive.

    Burning oil with Ultra

    My truck is back to normal with MC 5-20w. No more oil burning in the last OCI. I emailed Pennzoil to ask why my engine burned Ultra but not MC. Received no response.

    Son Of A Gun Protection by STP

    I still find this at most places.It does leave a slick finish so I have to be careful putting it on running boards. I like this a lot.

    1994 Camry Sitting For A Year

    Camry started right up after installing the battery. Got air in the tires. Sunroof won't close on one corner. Must be something underneath it. Hope I can get it out without having to take it apart. Thanks for all the advice.

    1994 Camry Sitting For A Year

    Pulled the battery. Checked for any signs of critters, none. Took the battery to sears. They put it on a charger they called the micorwave. The charger has a protective cover on it. Battery took 50 minutes and charge was complete and battery checked out good. Took it home and put on my battery...
