What is the largest tire I can fit on a wheel that currently has this size tire installed? 16x6.5-8 (4 ply) This is for a small yard trailer. No street use. The current tires are cracking and need replaced. I am hoping they can replaced with a heavy duty tire that will allow for more weight to...

Hello, I recently purchased a trimmer mower for trimming along a long run of fence. It is a DR Power Pilot model. It has a 174cc OHC (7.0 ft lbs) Briggs and Stratton engine on it. I am looking to keep this machine running for a long time, so I need your expert opinion on what oil to feed it...

What is the proper way to clean these "cooling fins" on the oil cooler for this Vanguard EFI 28 HP engine? I took it off the engine and used a brush and shop vac to get most of the debris out, but there is still some in there. Could I let it soak in dawn dish soap and warm water and hit it...

I am wondering if the Briggs & Stratton Commerical Turf series engines and the Kohler Confidant engines are both proven and capable engines? Is either engine known to have problems or are they both long lasting and reliable?

What is the better choice for the 2021 Silverado 2500 HD? 6.6L gas or 6.6L diesel I have the 6.0L gas engine now in a 2014 Silverado 2500 HD, but looking for extra power and an overall heavy duty machine. Does the gas 6.6L deliver a noticeable difference from the gas 6.0L? Driving scenarios...

Has anyone ever used a spark plug that checked out OK on the spark plug cross reference sheet, but did not perform the same as the original? I ask because my zero turn mower is a John Deere, with a Kohler motor, with a Champion spark plug. The nearest local John Deere dealer wants $8 per plug...

I have a 2012 Toyota Rav4 with the 4 cylinder engine. It has approximately 115k on the odometer. It has seen conventional 5w-20 its whole life. There is no burning or significant consumption in the 5k OCI it sees. Question: do I stick with conventional or switch to synthetic? The prices of...

I purchased aftermarket rear pads and rotors for my 2014 Toyota Camry. I went with Wagner Thermoquiet pads and rotors. The new pads came with hardware clips, but not a shim "anti-squeal" piece that goes on the back of the pads. Do I need to use the "anti-squeal" shim piece with the Thermoquiet...

I was given 3 gallons of Supertech 15w-40 diesel oil for free. Will I be OK to run it in my zero turn mower with a Kawasaki FH721V spec'd for 10w-30?

I have a new to me John Deere Z445 zero turn mower. I would like to do some basic maintenance on it before the mowing season. I plan to change the engine oil and filter, air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, and transaxle hydraulic fluid. Fluid spec: John Deere Low Viscosity HY-GARD® (J20D)...

I am interested in a used Ford F-150. Which model years had the least issues (overall) and should be on the top of my list? Will be a daily driver commuting 60 miles 5 days per week, but will be towing 5,000 lbs (total trailer and cargo weight) about 25 times per year. Open to any engine and...
