    Techron / Gumout : Use Only Just Before Oil Change ?

    Back in the days when Terry Dyson was on this forum, he recommended an oil change following my use of BG-44K. Note: Dyson Analysis was a fixture in the oil analysis business for years

    Visible Wireless

    Visible is "powered by Verizon". The idea is to offer a service to people that don't need customer service, which is why the reviews might be a bit harsh. Also, at high traffic events (sporting, concerts, etc), Visible could be throttled a bit compared to Verizon. If you are computer/phone...

    Discount Tire News, Dunn Tire acquisition, new services.

    Same here in Colorado ... I replaced my blades a few months prior to my visit and they were pushing new blades "due to streaking" when I got my tires rotated.

    P06DD on the Grand Cherokee

    That is how mine started and over time, it got progressively worse and even then, it was intermittent. I had to wait for it to come on and I drove to the dealer. In my situation, it was the oil pump. -MAXCARE covered it, but it was ~$1600 at the dealer.

    P06DD on the Grand Cherokee

    I had an intermittent P06DD for several months. When the P06DD comes on, when you take off from a stop, do you notice (initially) it won't rev over 3,000 rpm? -On my Jeep (2012 Pentastar), it was the dual-stage oil pump.

    Does catalytic cleaner fuel additive actually work?

    A bottle of Cataclean every 5k or so limped our RX330 along for ~40k. -The vehicle passed Colorado "fast-pass" emissions using the product (I had reset the light so they would test it). -CEL came on at 252k and finally got tired of resetting the light and replaced the converters at 291k.

    Using DDG is a good step to help protect your privacy; however, it doesn’t stop your ISP or snoops from seeing what you do online. Unless you are using a VPN with military-grade encryption, thinking you can use the Internet without being tracked is not 100% accurate. To OP: I have used Zoho and...

    Insurance Shopping

    I just went through this since USAA has (recently) raised rates so much (they recently posted a $1.2B loss). I had a template I used with all of the policy information I was looking for (bundling auto/home); I used a broker and also went to websites for Allstate, State Farm, Progressive...

    2001 Lincoln Continental - $5000 repair estimate in front suspension & steering - reasonable?

    Nice car. I read through the replies, but I am not sure if this was covered. My buddy used to have one and he was an advocate for converting the vehicle back to a standard suspension. The only thing I don't know, I think that was for the active (not sure the difference between that and...
