    Was going to pick some up. Only 1 left so not worth it.

    Best lube for barrel that seems to be stuck in its receiver?

    Do any of the local ranges have a large ultrasonic cleaning tank for long guns? Might be worth a few bucks to let it set in one for 10min. or so. Kroil would be a good idea or maybe PB blaster.

    ATF for Kia specifying SP-III ATF?

    The newer Restore and Protect ATF might be a good idea to help clean up the internals. Also, adding Lubegard Red to what you have now and running it about 2K might help as well.

    Sludgy Coolant, 2001 Ford Windstar

    I've used RMI-25 to help clean up a neglected cooling system before. It's not miracle worker but it did seam to help.

    Lucas had some horrendously bad Noack numbers several years ago.

    Using Impact Sockets only for 3/8” and 1/2” dr

    I picked up a 3/8" and 1/2" set of stubby 18v impacts from Ridgid a couple of years ago and am using chrome sockets less and less. Cheap set of Quinn 3/8" impacts has worked well for me so far. Still grab mostly chrome for 1/4" and 3/8" ratchets. Can't remember the last time I used a chrome...
