    Replace tires only or buy the assembly?

    Tires are simple to put on. On old tires I let the air out and drive them a little to loosen the beads. Understand what the “drop center” is on the rim and they will go on and off with ease.

    Are you for or against Data Centers?

    China is where all the anti data center propaganda is coming from. They do not want America to win the information war.

    What is "Performance Plus" oil and whatever happened to STP?

    In the beginning and used as directed in a non sludged up engine it worked because the oils back then were not near as good as they are today. It clearly said to put it in and run it for a long time. If you did not do that it settled into the sludge and caused clogged filters. Used right by...

    Prevent plastic gas cans from creasing?

    I have tried every flavor of gas cans to haul race fuel. These are the only ones that do not leak a single fume and are good enough to chuck out of a helicopter. You can get a fat diesel hose or one that fits in a car tank. All sorts of accessories and racks are available. I carry 8 in an...

    Are you for or against Data Centers?

    China is against the USA having data centers and they generate the propaganda against them. That is all I need to know. China propaganda got to the fools that live in Boulder City, Nevada and they are fighting one way out in the dessert wasteland.

    Transmission builder just recommended Lucus Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer.

    My desert car transmission builder said to run Lucus stabilizer in my expensive and built to the max manual transaxle. This guy worked for Mendiola and now builds racing transmissions. He is one of the best in the business. On steep hill climbs I starve some bearings and the lucus makes the gear...

    Windshield Wipers - What's the best strategy?

    I have never seen a difference with a premium wiper blade. They don’t last any longer. I buy the cheap Walmart blades and they seem to be the best for me.

    AGM Battery electrolyte top off

    Those batteries are sealed but can vent and dry out. Good for you for fixing it! I have drilled holes and filled them with a syringe. Seal it with RTV. You may like this trick as well… Batteries often die because sulfate builds up on the plates. That sulfate will short out between pos and neg...

    Anti-seize for stainless bolts into aluminum threads

    Bel-Ray sells a caulking gun size tube that you keep in a cheap caulking gun. If you have a need for extreme pressure grease like a CV joint then you can add 10% to 50% Bel-Ray anti-seize to your lucus green grease and use it when you want more protection. CV’s in desert cars use it like that...

    Coffee makers...what works best for you?

    Post your new battery purchase.

    They use new instead of recycled lead that is also made ultra pure. They can make the plates thinner so they can use more of them. I should have mentioned that in the van that lasted 13 years also had a solar panel on the roof to keep it toped off. Batteries do not like to sit discharged or even...

    Need to figure out a headlight dilema with 2015 Impala

    In the country or dark backroad you need a more yellow light to preserve your ability to see outside of the headlight beam. You only think you can see better with those bright high kelvin bulbs because they bring out more color. Problem is they constrict your iris and that reduces light to your...
