    What PS Fluid do you use?

    I hate that I have to buy specific power steering fluid as like with coolant/antifreeze. IMO it's a 'dumb' hydraulic system but some OEM systems are picky with fluids. Redline PSF for GM products. Something about hydroboost brake boosters not liking ATF. Honda PSF for Hondas. CHF fluid for the...

    It's no different than the GM Diode mod that replace the 7.5A ALT fuse in Toyota trucks. There is more explanation on this site where I got the mod 'chip'. https://voltageboosterpro.com/ It's essentially adding back the fuse protection after using diodes to increase alternator output voltage...

    What are you working on today?

    Some quick work on the 2001 Toyota Tundra: Did a 'dry-run' with my new Speedi-bleed tool and did a complete brake fluid exchange. Using it dry took the 'speedi' out of the process by having to depressurize the unit and remove adapter cap to top the fluid in the reservoir. While I was under the...

    What are you working on today?

    De-vette'd the 4L60-E in the 02 Silverado. Went for the belief that it was supposed to make up for the inherent issues of the transmission in a tradeoff for harsher shifts. Got tired of the harsh shifts after 10 years having it installed and found a used stock servo (553 casting) in place of the...

    Passenger side CV shaft off of a 2006 Toyota Corolla with 123,700mi. Car was in for something leaking. Axle shaft seal and torn inner CV boot on the passenger side. Can kill two birds with one stone job. Original shaft disassembled for new boots. OEM boots were discontinued so had to go with...

    Diagnosing an LG oven where the center and middle heating elements in the front right burner aren't turning on (the outer one turns on - triple element burner). Huzzah! It comes with a service manual + wiring schematic in a plastic sleeve behind the oven. Saved time by not googling for the...

    Who's never traveled outside of the United States?

    It was 10PHP when I rode the 'tri-cee' several years ago. Pretty effective way to get around in the city. I could never trust the street vender food. It was Jollibee, McDo or local dine-in restaurants when I was at the PI.
