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...

Not an Optima Yellowtop but an Everstart Platinum AGM. 24F for a 01 Toyota Tundra. Voltage Booster mod installed in fusebox to increase charging voltage for AGM batteries. Also installed noco charger eyelets to make connecting a charger easier.

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...

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...

If I find myself on the Windward side of the island I was gonna stop by the detailing shop there. Professional brands as far as the eye can see (that's not chemical guys.) Someone mentioned here KCx Mp for engine bay detailing and protectant. There is a sale on Jax Wax Body Shine Quick Detailer...

Liftgate/pallet jack work and had these cases of oil going out to an oil change place. Text obfuscated by the shrinkwrap so I'll type it out. LiquiMoly Top-Tec 6200 0W-20. LiquiMoly Special Tec AA 0W-8. Out of all the places it's going to? Euro/import shop? No. Jiffy Lube, along 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...

Time to dust off the old question:

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.

2001 Toyota Tundra lower ball joint replacement. Replacing the 12 year old 555 Sankei balljoints with Toyota OEM. I checked the play to inspect for failure and while they were within spec, one had a tear in the boot...

https://www.transmissiondigest.com/a-new-trick-in-the-bag/ What is your thought on the 4L70E 2nd servo? Did a vette servo mod 10 years ago and been regretting the 1-2 shift feel but was thought it was supposed to help the transmission last longer. Tossed the old parts but now planning to go back...

Jobber parts going to a jobber parts whorehouse. Napper proformer oil and air filters. Everyone's favorite budget cv axle brand. For your 10y/o hooptie.
