I tried LED's and they wouldn't run on the reduced voltage. I want to keep DRL because I beleive they are a great safety feature. I wasn't aware of the HIR style bulbs. I may look into them for the light output and not worry about the cool white look. Thanks for the suggestions.

I've recently purchased a 2011 Toyota Rav4 and want change the DRL bulbs. This Toyota uses the high beams for DRL's. I've changed out the low beams to LED's and want to switch out the highbeams/DRL to a simular light color as the LED's. I really don't want to pay $50 for silverstars. I've...

It's a two owner car with the first owner living in the Kentucky-Tenn area. The current owner is in Bristol-Abington VA area. They were boyh mountain areas. It looks like it just saw winter useage with salt on the roads.

Thanks for the suggestions. I believe I may be worrying about nothing.

I believe it can be wire brushed and then treated and then sealed. I'm not familiar with current products on the market.

Hello all, I'm considering purchasing a 2013 Lexus RX350 F series locally here in NC. Went to look at the car being sold by a private party and everything was great until I looked underneath. Light rust covering the rear diff carrier and along the shock towers, lower control arms and so on. It...

Just curious if I should be using an additive in my '41 flathead ford. I've been running 87 octane from Sheets that may(?) contain up to 10% ethanol. I'm in NC and the pumps aren't required to actually tell you if ethanol is in the fuel. I have a new fuel tank and copper line from the tank to...

I have. Ordered several differnt types of parts from them over the years. No issues what so ever. Fast shipping. I have them saved in my bookmarks. Randy

I'm gonig to use the Rotella 15w40 I have for now. I don't have any history on the condition of this engine. Just looking at the condition of the truck underneath it looks as though the front suspension, brakes and so look to be new, although stored for 25 years. The engine and tranny are...

Thanks for all of the replies and suggestions. I've got a gallon of Rotella 15w40 I'll use. Thanks again, Randy

Thanks for the responses. I understand about the need for the ZDDP. I was more curious about the need for a multi weight.

I've got Rotella T4 15/40. Wasn't sure about a multi weight. Wanted to get some opions here first.

Thanks. It is in fantastic condition. Fully stock exept 12v conversion. Kind of a sad story behind it. The Dad bought it in the mid 60's, drove and enjoyed it. Decided to have it restored in the mid 90's. Got cancer and past away before it was completed. The family kept it stored since '95. I...

Hello all, I've recently picked up a '41 ford pu with the original flathead engine. It's been in storage for 25 years and recently brought back to life. The previous owner changed the oil with a straight 30w just to get running. A friend has a simular flathead, although completely rebuilt, he...
