Fluid expands when it warms up. Braking heats up the fluid. More fluid+same available volume of the brake system=firmer pedal.

350# IS fat, no matter how you slice it. BMI would be way out of wack. The guy in question was NOT a lineman, it is a straw-man argument.

Thank you all. I will let you know what I uncover. The bad part is it does not start in the morning, when I really need to go to work, so I do not have time to trouble shoot it. I'll start it this Saturday/Sunday and try to measure voltage on the starter.

2002 Isuzu Axiom (similar to Isuzu Rodeo), 67K miles. Happens intermittently, in the morning. I will turn the key, hear one click but nothing else. Original starter, battery is 2 years old (JCI Costco battery). Car has factory alarm, aftermarket 2-way AstroStart remote starter. Plain...

Glock steel is Tennifer treated, so M&P stainless advantage is moot. Tennifer hardens the steel in addition to giving it corrosion resistance. OP--I like 40. I can get 9mm and 357 SIG conversion barrels for a Glock as well. Advantage Arms makes a great conversion kit allowing you to practice...

I am facing the same dilemma. I settled on Rejex sealant. I will be treating my 6 mo. old T&C van in a couple of weeks, after current wax starts to wear off, and my Axiom the following weekend. I do not have tome to keep waxing every month. Rejex will give at least 6 good months, and I can...

The leftover oil is very DARK color. I wonder what the bottom end looks like. Cam lobes are way too smooth. M1 must've polished the metal. I bet the crosshatch on the cylinder walls is gone as well. At the very least I would try a flush with Texaco kerosine, followed by a 50/50 mix of Kreen and...

I just got Mann Air and Fuel filters for my Axiom. Mann air filter was cheaper than Fram and OEM Denso. Denso was US-made, both Mann filters are Chinese-made. Bummer.

Thank you all for the advice. I am not concerned about shine nearly as much as I am about durability. With two small kids and a new job, finding time to work on the cars is difficult. How easy is it to apply Rejex by hand? Any other good polymer sealants I should look at? I am assuming...

So in hot GA summer I will need to re-apply it monthly?

Axiom has not been hand washed/waxed in years, so it needed cleaning badly, especially after been transported across the continent. Used clay with LOTS of Mother's Detailer's spray that came in the kit. Cleaning Carnuba wax was also part of the Mother's kit. I waxed by hand, with minimum...

I use Sylglide. Treat rubber door seals and hinges at the same time. If it can handle brakes, it can handle door hinges.

I detailed both of my cars over the weekend. Axiom was washed twice (once with purple Simple Green HD (safe for pint and aluminum, then TW Zip wash), clayed with Mother's clay bar kit and finished off with Mother Cleaner Wax that came in a kit. Used Clay bat for a first time, and quite a bit of...

Overk1ll, you are confusing people with facts.
