Venturing into a new business and need an additional phone line or a dedicated local mobile number. Problem being I do not want to carry a second phone, as it would be another something to keep up with, charge, not to mention the extra cost of the phone and plan. Anyone have any experience...

Someone used the wrong screw. Use these.

Can anyone suggest a way to repair this plastic piece? It is the side panel on my 1991 Honda 300 4x4 ATV. The panel attaches to the gas tank by way of the slide in connector. It appears as over time a stress crack has formed in the right angle of the section. Buying a new section is not...

I thought Ford was having oil consumption problems with the 5.0 after they went with the PTWA

Does anyone have any info on the new Nissan Frontier 3.8L, Direct Injection, V6 engine (3.8 VQ) and their 9 speed automatic transmission. Do they have cylinder sleeves or is it the plasma-transferred wire arc (PTWA) sprayed onto the cylinder bore? My daughter was wanting a new vehicle and likes...

I have installed the Raybestos Element 3 EHT pads on the front and rear with Bendix severe duty rotors. Seems to stop as well as the Bendix semimetallic severe duty pads but with no obnoxious dust. They might stop a little better but it is hard to tell.

Trailer brakes are much better on the 12k trailer than on the truck. Brake controller adjusted properly and I try to go easy on the truck brakes because I know I will have to replace them again. I only how 1-2 times a year and about 60 miles then to my other property to bush hog

I am going to keep the Bendix MetLock Rotors as they are almost new with less than 5,000 miles on them. They seem like good rotors. I think there is several new formulations of pad materials but with the Covid outbreak getting in touch with someone at most companies is nearly impossible.

I have a 2008, F150, Crew Cab, 5.4L, 4X4, 6.5 ft bed, 78,000 miles. Weighs in around 6000 pounds. When I bought it the brakes sucked, brake dust was bad and it ate rotors. I up-graded (or so I thought) to the Wagner ThermoQuite semi metallic pads and rotors. No difference except the drake dust...

I am in need of a waterproof grease. Its only purpose is to provide a barrier to the intrusion of water. The application is Honda ATV brake hubs. The hubs are designed to use grease in grooves around and within circular flexible seals that rotate with the brake hub and are in contact with a...

The 15 Year/500,000 Mile Warranty had no charge FREE for just letting them service your ride. I do not think we will use it but was curious. We have 3 free oil changes from the dealership because the wife registered her F150 with the FORD PASS app. Those 3 free oil changes will give her a...
