If I don't have any better targets, I will use a paper plate with a 3" Orange dot in the middle. I use a 2" orange dot for off hand 22lr rifle practice at 50 yards. It is a challenge for me.

I use 15W-40 in my '06 Duramax year round. In the winter I will use the block heater if it gets really cold but otherwise, it's been fine. I ran one oil change using 5W-40 and had some consumption on the change. Switched back and been fine since. I used Delo 400 for years but two changes ago...

You spend your money how and where you want. That being said, I'd go down to the two local dealers and see what they have and what they could do for me. Personally, I'd buy a Ford from the local guy, if if was priced anywhere close to what the far away dealers have. I grew up in Montana and my...

If your car could be retrofitted than yes, you could choose to get it fixed or sell it back. If it couldn't be retrofitted, then could only sell back. It looks like they will just fix the software or whatever on the Cummins fiasco. I wonder how this all plays with all the diesels that have been...

VW recalled some vehicles and retrofit SCR systems (DEF) on them, but a large number were bought back because it was too onerous to install DEF systems on those particular vehicles. They also got new software, naturally. I am sure not all owners got their cars retrofitted or reflashed, but the...

Don't forget the NASA space programs and all the technological advances they spawned into the general economy including digital computer chips.

Maybe that's what they were doing most of their life and now they are enjoying the fruit of their labor and investing.

Right next to Federal. Both sitting on top of Remington Thunderbolts....

I have an LCP and also an LCP Max. The Max replaced the original in my carry rotation. I carry them chamber loaded, in an uncle mikes pocket holster. The LCP is slightly easier to shoot, for me, then that Max, but the extra 3 rounds is worth it to me. I typically load the magazine with 10...

2006 Chevrolet 2500HD with Duramax and Allison 6 speed - 160k miles. Drain and fill transmission pan and replace spin on filter. 7.4 QTS of Castrol Transynd 668. I last drained and filled about 20k miles ago. I tow 5500lbs about 6k miles per year, all highway at 75-80mph.

I shudder at all the safety concerns, but I am impressed at how tough all these guys are. Swinging a sledge hammer all day. Way impressive.

Is all this dilution and shearing the reason I get so much oil in the PVC catch can I added? Currently running Kirkland 5W-30 on 5k intervals, in a 2017 Transit with 3.5 ecoboost.

I have an EGO 21" self propelled mower I got in 2018. It mowed well for me for 4 years. The battery has started to fail (used to do my entire lawn, now will only do about 1/2 to 2/3, depending the grass length. Last summer the self propelled drive failed. It has a 5 year warranty so I called EGO...

I just got mine a couple of weeks ago. It took 5 months from sending my package in. I got a field grade as that's all they had when they called. I got a nice 1941 Colt frame and a Remington Rand slide. It had a replacement barrel and the springs looked to have been replaced somewhere. The finish...

I wish they put as much time in tracking down people stealing catalytic converters as they do on unmarked traffic enforcement.
