My coworker has a newer Blazer and has already had to have a thermostat replaced. Said it was a big job, but was under warranty.. As someone who does all his own maintenance/repairs this is the kind of stuff I was looking for while car shopping and the reason we're getting a NA v6 Honda Pilot...

My pan looked better than that when I did the first fluid change on my Ram at 70k.... I put the Mopar fluid back in and I don't see how my truck could shift any better.. Happy you're happy with the RP though.

I hadn't heard of R-444A yet, but am intrigued... I came across this site for R-1234yf recently (While shopping for a jug of R-410A) and its the cheapest I've seen it: https://refrigerantscenter.com/collections/r-1234yf/products/1234yf-1-case-4cans

Really neat rifle! I have an original one I got many years ago and it is a great shooter. They are widely praised as being among the most accurate Mausers ever made. Mine has a SA stamp on the receiver indicating it was in Finland for its Winter War with Russia.

I'd go with the WJB from that list. Have used a couple with no issue.

How exactly do you go about adjusting the governor? I need to put a tach on my John deere zero turn. Cut quality has always been poor even with new/sharp blades and all I can figure is lack of blade speed. Engine sounds normal. Briggs 22hp

I say you probably need a new bearing.. I ruined one doing something similar on my friends accord. Annoying for sure.

5th analysis on my Ram with the Hemi. Wear metals continue to trend down despite my towing percentages trending up. Really pleased with standard Mobil 1 5w-30 and have already bought a few more jugs for my stash. Filter was Champ PH48XL used oil filter cut open was posted a few weeks ago.

I have 20ish pieces of gas powered ope. Only a couple are newer than 2014 and all work fine… several are 30+ years old. Electric makes no sense to me outside of the 1/4acre subdivision scenario.

I’m saying this as someone that dd’s something so old it doesn’t even have air bags… but new cars are safer than 20 yr old cars imo. They crumple better to protect the occupants. They have more air bags. I also wonder sometimes at what age airbags become less reliable or perhaps even dangerous...

To me the safety tech in newer cars is the one thing that has gotten better and has value.. I’m buying a new Pilot while I can still get one with a n/a v6 and physical hvac controls.. hope it makes it 20yrs.

We sold a mint 1993 Crown vic for either $2500 or $3k a few years ago. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/clean-1993-crown-vic-value.348281/

Filter looked great to me. No ruffles on bypass. Was replaced with same oil/filter and was the last in my stash. Will be shifting over to Premium Guard XL's next change. Will be posting oil analysis when I get results back from Wix.

That’s pretty bizarre
