If it isn't just "because we've always done it" - what problem is it solving? Why are we still doing it? It's original intention of saving energy does not apply any longer. Your opinion of a more reasonable window of daylight is your opinion.

I certainly don't stew over it - but doing something that disruptive to so many people for no other reason than "it's what we've done for a long time", doesn't make much sense.

Everyone as a group using large amounts of energy with lights - has become a moot point. The problem died with the incandescent bulb. Get rid of DST.

I read somewhere in my travels that Amrad is supposed to be a very good brand capacitor, but pricier, made in USA.

A Ridgeline diff uses VTM-4 fluid, a CRV uses Dual Pump 2 fluid. Many people never change either until there's a noise, or other problems.

I've seen it happen - it's a tough call to a customer explaining the newly acquired need for master cylinder replacement.

The fluid doesn't circulate, but it sure gets a lot of "back and forth". Think of the number of times the pedal is pushed on every drive, and the action within the system that takes place with each push. With that in mind think of what can happen when the pedal is pushed beyond it's usual...

Rear diff Dual Pump fluid is first due at 15k, then every 30 after. Brake fluid every 36 mos.

My reading is from a Monster power surge protector and filter as well. Mine will cut off power to our entertainment center if I hook up a conventional UPS, or portable generator to it. Neither can provide clean enough power. Only a pure sine wave is allowed through.

If the dipstick doesn't indicate it's overfull - no worries.

All it needs is Suzanne Summers behind the wheel.

Maybe they should put the driver's door up there again.

Are there any hybrids without a grill? I don't recall seeing one.

You'll be looking for that eventually! Usually they only put a switch on the ones that have a flange sticking out the other side. Here's my favorite Craftsman 10mm - flexes in another direction, has come in very handy at times - aint lost it yet!
