It is a good wire dryer. Use it all the time at work on 480V connections that get wet. If you still have spark plug wires it works good on them too if they are shorting out due to moisture.

With the MAF just be sure the cleaner you use does not leave any residue behind.

On my used "rubber" gaskets that get hard I soak them in lacquer thinner (50/50 toluene/xylene) until they have softened up. Then immediately soak them 24 hours in Rislone. Works pretty good. Also use it on the old hard PCV hoses that are near impossible to find.

I was in Ontario and the state Beer Store closed at 5 pm every night. This was the only place to get any hooch to be carried off site.

A vehicle with a locked TC or a MTX tranny will always maintain a certain engine rpm compared to road speed. This will not change with load. The fuel injector duty cycle will change and possible the timing too.

Rotate the pads........

Frankly I'd be more worried about tread wear ratings in the 700s.... They must be hard as rocks. Personally dislike anything over 400 myself.

IIRC it is recommended to exceed the max inflation pressure if long term high speed driving is considered. This is because as the temperature of the tire increases the load carrying capacity decreases. So you should be safe going even 10 psi above. This info comes from the Tire Rack. http://...

If it's an EGR code you can usually pull the SPOUT connector and retard timing 3-4 degrees. This will help with the NOx emissions.

I just watched an interesting program on TV that explained how oil was created. Seems it would have to come from a time where the atmosphere has 5 times more CO2 than what is here now. It all happens pretty fast geologically speaking and as soon as the surplus CO2 is tied up again the earth...

All my Taurus SHO motors come with oil/coolant Hx at the oil filters. Oil generally stays at or 20F higher than coolant temp.

I use a high temp grease.

I've got a Tecumseh snow king 5.5hp motor that will not start. The problem began when the crank shear key just about sheared off. It got to the point it would not run and after pulling the flywheel off I found the key almost all the way sheared. Since then I've replaced the key, have fuel and...

If the carb is like that on my snowblower with a Tecumsehs OHV motor has about three or four very small ports/passages in it. They are so small they are hard to see. These will easily clog up and you need some very fine wire to clean them out.

If the system has a diagonal brake setup such as Fords it is RR/LF, LR/RF but it really doesn't matter. I usually do the back first. The ABS is not affected because the solenoids should be closed unless the ABS is on.
