    How far would you drive on a gamble for a used car?

    Drove 4 and half hours to pick up a 3rd gen Trans Am GTA for my kid. When got there the guy couldn't find the title. Drove 4 and half hours to look at a 2005 2500HD gasser for the my kid. Pictures looked awesome had the guy even send extra shots. Got there. It was a horrible truck turned around...

    Should I expect nasty black smelly oil?

    Malibu gets 5000 mile oil changes. Seems the GM 2.0 LTG does not suffer too bad from being direct injected. At an any rate it is never really completely black or sooty. Never any fuel even with an oil analysis. I think some vehicles suffer more from the issue than others.

    What causes flat spots in tread of trailer tires

    My buddy has a brand-new Outdoors RV and that is exactly what happened to him. It surprised me too. They replaced both axles under warranty.

    What causes flat spots in tread of trailer tires

    Cheap trailer tires will get flat pretty easy from sitting. I have 4 trailers at the house. The only one it happens to is the boat. What type of trailer? How old?

    Anyone see a major conflict in this trailer

    Under axled like every other trailer on the planet. I hate that. I can't believe it left the factory like that.

    Discount tire only balanced the inside of the tire.

    Has to be a good 20 years since I have seen a weight on the outside edge of any of my wheels. I always specify on the inside lip or stick on ones.

    Towing w/ 4-Cylinder Turbo

    Weight yes, but there are other factors. Length, drag, ability to recover in an emergency situation. You can can have all the power in the world but you still don't want the tail to wag the dog. General rule of thumb for wheel base, the first 110 inches of wheelbase allow for a 20-foot...

    Discount tire only balanced the inside of the tire.

    Why would you want weights on the outside/visible part of the wheel? I have 6 cars and two trailers. None of them have weights on the outside all on the inside/towards the under side of the car or taped on so I don't have to see them or clean around them. The Trans Am has never thrown a stick...

    Lower unit oil change needed?

    Do it! I had a leak in mine where water got in and I was unware. Locked the lower unit up. Had to replace it. I now change it every 5 outings and before I put it up for winter. It is cheap and easy insurance.

    Fail-Pro Gaskets

    I am sorry to hear this I have had good luck with their intake kits/gaskets on various platforms. I have only used their valve cover gaskets on my 3800s. I have not had problems with those either. I have never used any of their other gaskets. I tend to use OEM for other items.

    Oil leaks on Chevy LS engines

    There is a gasket. I have one hanging on my wall. It was for my old truck when the time came.
