The TSB for the block cracking issue was for 06-08. We have two 07 Civics at work. One with low mileage one with high mileage. The one with low mileage cracked and was covered under the specially warranty for the issue. They had the short block replace in little over 24 hours with zero cost to...

I would only consider the Silverado/Sierra in a V6. Larger displacement and similar torque and hp at 1000 less rpm. We (business) only buy V6 GM full size work trucks, we keep them until over 200k.

My edit time expired.... The only time I have had problems with jumper cables is when people try to start as soon as they are connected. I try to get at least 3-5 minutes of 1/4-1/3 of max rpm from the vehicle providing the jump. Since the Prius should not provide a jump I got a lithium jump...

Advance Auto Parts almost always has 35% off and up to 50% off ($50 off $100). Last time we needed better quality (gauge) in a long length it made the cost much less. I have used the $50 off $100 to get a bunch of good quality oil filters (Bosch DP). We also use it about every 6 months to buy...
