Beast, I thank you immensely for posting that picture. I just made a mental note to sign up for Alldata. More important than the two items that you pointed out is #3, the fluid cooler input. Yesterday I verified #6 and #7 by disconnecting the lines from the fluid cooler bypass valve (#8) and...

Eric Just went out and tried that. Fluid pressure feels constant from both hoses. Man, I didn't think installing a filter would be this hard! Thanks for the tip. Tony

Help Please, I am in the process of installing a Magnefine filter on my truck. 2007 Ford F-150 with tow package (auxiliary cooler). I removed the transmission cooler lines to verify flow direction. I removed them from the output of the transmission where they connected to an item that Ford...

Thanks everyone for the tech! NYSteve and Donald: Thank you for that tips on verifing the direction of flow. Donald after I thought about it you are right that one of the lines would be colder than the other; I would have missed a simple check like this. Oilboy: I'll have to check the Taurus...

I have a question regarding placement of the Magnefine filters: I will be purchasing 3 Magnefine filters for my vehicles: 2007 Ford F-150 2000 Ford Taurus 1992 Honda Accord All three have automatics. Based on this thread I am will call the sponsor to verify sizing, but all three will probably...

I just purchased a Summit Racing oil filter cutter and may have been in too much of a hurry to try this new toy out. Currently I have 4 filters cut open to try and evaluate my Auto-RX test on my 200,XXX mile Ford truck. The question that I am confronted with is, now that I have these filters cut...

Brand new Fisher Cobia owner. I've yearned for a Gary Fisher bike for 5 years ever since college. My own expectations for a medium priced mountain bike were met and surpassed by this one. The biggest thing with a Gary Fisher is the support of the local bike shop. Mine had to make the trip back...

Can anyone help me find Mystik JT-6 High temp in Central Pennsylvania? I heard so much about the grease that I had to try it, but the only type of container that I could find is the 1lb "jar". Particularly, I am looking for the 14oz cartridge that I can load into my grease gun. I have looked...

Excuse my ignorance in this issue, but may I ask what GM E.O.S. is? Can this be used in other engines requiring break in procedure. Especially the Gen III LS1 V-8. Thank You, Tony

Sounds like the old "Squat-Thrust" from gym class. 1. Bend knees and squat your body. 2. Put arms out in front, palms face down on floor. Shoulder width apart 3. Switch weight to arm/shoulder. 4. kick out feet to an upright push-up position. (the starting position for Push-ups) 5. Pull legs...

I agree that Alaskan oil is not part of the solution-for the reasons you mentioned and also bc there really is not very much of it. Even though I am very conservative-I have to laugh at Rush and Hannity and others when they extoll the virtues of their gas guzzling SUV's and always point to the...

I thought most of our oil came from South America. Venuzuala to be exact. Let's examine Alaskan oil. How much does it cost us to have American's drill that oil? Add to that the cost due to the complexity of getting the low temp oil out of the ground and transporting it to the only port in...

429 4V??? Diesel? Nice truck by the way. My buddy has one with a dump on the back. (I'm guessing 10 yd, Air Brakes and the 429. She's a pooch but it does fine for local mulch delivery. Tony

Since this is kinda oil related, I was wondering if anyone has done an oil pan gasket on a Ford 4.9L 300 six? I can't do Auto-RX until I fix this problem because the pan spills out oil if the truck is slung into a tight turn. I'm very handy working on my own vehicles. But if any of you guys have...

Well, all I see is two red X's So, I guess you bought a Chevrolet Xtreme, in red. Am I right, what do I win???? Tony
