I was being cautious about " a placebo" and me noticing my 2022 H.O runs better on the T6 10w-30. I posted something on another forum about my truck driving better on the t6 10-30 and was eaten alive that no way I would notice a oil brand and or weight on a 1,000 ft lb monster diesel engine! I...

I know cats don't like zinc ( from what I have been told ) but would one oil change with high zinc during break-in hurt them ? Has anyone ever had a cat poisoned using a high zinc oil? Personally, I do like to get the break-in oil out early in everything. I also like the idea of using Mineral...

Brings back memories in high school in the early 80's... I remember a few 70's Olds that would pass me in the parking lot with a tick. Wonder if using Mineral oil would help as my older 90's slightly modded Harley can't run M1 synthetic V Twin oil as I get a bad tick, I get zero top end noise...

Yea, I get it but I don't like it. I own a Ram 3500 Mega Cab Cummins as my day to day but when I need to actually find a parking spot I want my car! However, now when I park my car I can't see to get out as I have huge "tall" trucks or SUV's on each side... LOL I guess the older I get I'm...

Thats great suggestions, I'll buy one of those laser temp things, I have the hitch locks but didn't think about locking the wheel lugs. I purchased a Joes Racing guage over 10 years ago, BEST $25 I ever spent! Thanks for the help everyone, fantastic info and help! I do not want to be on the...

I question what my 2022 3500 HO Limited was factory filled with? I do not think factory fill was 10-30 but who knows? When I changed from factory fill to T5 10-30 I could tell my truck liked it better than what was in the factory fill but then when I changed to T6 10-30 the top end was even...

I have a new ( less than 100 miles ) 7x12 Diamond Cargo enclosed trailer with tandum axles and 225/75r tires hauling 2x Harleys. I plan to do a long first trip this summer with trailer in tow, Anyone know what grease is factory and what to use going forward? I would love to use the same...

I drive little miles so I change my oil once a year. I changed the oil myself last year in my 2022 with T5 10-30 but my Ram dealer now stocks and uses the T6 10-30 and I just had the oil changed again. I feel like the valve train has less noise after change to T6 but perhaps placebo?

Very cool! 300k! I purchased a loaded 2017 Fusion, was a Repo on a Toyota dealers lot, only had 500 miles with factory warranty and I got a killer deal. She is a low mile car that is only driven about 5K a year! I have owned many cars and trucks up to over $100K and the fusion is perhaps the...

Just don't pull away from the dealer, hop on the Interstate, set your cruise control at 65 mph and drive 200 miles. Search your owners guide under Break-In procedure and do what it says but on everything I own from a car to a Harley... NO constant speeds be it fast or slow, no lugging the...

Yes, I know black magic makes a $65 SDI in to HDMI box. Yes you can buy SDI switchers and most pro cams will have a SDI out but many average Church grade cams do not or may have both SDI and HDMI However, I have seen it get complicated as I remember my buddy doing an install and the Black...

If I was a traveling salesman or something and was on the road lots and needed lots of arm room, assuming the new Honda Odyssey is as comfortable and nimble as my 08 and 09 was, the Honda would be my choice over any car however, I don't remember the gas mileage being very good. I wonder if...

I remember seeing Spectro at a small independent shop I used years ago but thats one oil I have never tried but always heard great things about it. I'm 100% conventional in my old bike and will continue that howeverI as many cars and trucks that I use Synthetics in I have also never used...

Personally my old bike is my 2nd bike and may sit, the longest was 2 years when I had health issues but sitting 2 months or 6 months during the winter is not out of the norm. I never know if it will sit when I park it so so I make sure the gas is always full to the top and protected and ready...

I have owned many brands of cars / trucks from budget to $100K+ over the years one vehicle stands out as having the best seats and seat position and was the least tiring to drive. I love cars but I hate driving because I hurt! I did a 6 hour drive and when I got out I remember thinking I...
