    Polishing out scratches & chemical etching on instrument cluster cover

    I’m glad that worked out for you. I’d be livid. FWIW, I’ve had good luck with Meguiar’s PlastX on several instrument clusters.

    The Mopar 8/9 speed fluid is junk.

    Isn’t the Mopar fluid presumed to be Lifeguard? I’ve seen people use all sorts of different fluids in these transmissions, but the usual complaint when switching is related to the price of the Mopar product. Not quality.

    The Mopar 8/9 speed fluid is junk.

    Mine is pretty much the same in the 3500, but I do get some torque converter clunking with harder deceleration, like when coming to a stop sign during more spirited driving. This is greatly reduced in tow/haul mode.

    Castrol EDGE Full Synthetic - 5W20 Motor Oil at AutoZione

    Showing as completely unavailable for me. That’s a good deal, though.

    Home Exterior Colors

    Ben Moore has a popular tint called “Revere Pewter.” HC-172. I got it run at half formula for a hunting shack I used to have. Trimmed it in simple white. It looked great. Greys, beiges, and “greiges” can be somewhat green. To OP’s original question, I think green is an uncommon field color...

    Walmart.com: Starfire Solarus tires, many sizes

    The old truck wears 14s. I just picked up a single 185/65/R14 for $40 for a new spare. Not bad.

    Best Cleaner Wax???

    Not sure exactly what substances you’re wanting to remove, but I always keep a bottle of Nu Finish around because it removes things like paint transfer really well for me.

    Mobil 1 Advanced Clean formulation change

    And how does the ALTUM compare to GTL? Is the much celebrated Mobil 1 FS 0w40 being significantly cheapened?

    Advanced Auto Parts | FRAM Oil Clearance

    The SDS for PN F440 is showing as manufactured by AOCUSA. I’m not sure exactly what’s going on, but that’s Amalie. I guess CQ Sourcing may be CarQuest? The name before FRAM was used?

    Advanced Auto Parts | FRAM Oil Clearance

    The heavier Idemitsu TLS as well. It’s very regional. They were almost completely out here at home, but I picked up another 30 bottles or so of the TLS-LV and the TLS when we were in Florida a few months ago. I left probably 50 bottles of the TLS at one store. Almost every store I visited...

    Advanced Auto Parts | FRAM Oil Clearance

    Just a word of caution regarding the FRAM ATF. I’ve had four bottles begin to leak on me sitting on the shelf, including both ATF +4 bottles I purchased. It’s not coming from the spout/lid. It’s up top at the seam of the bottle as it angles from the side of the toward the spout. I guess...

    Giant cat hanging around!

    We had a Maine Coon mix one time that was huge. Never seen one tuxedo. Ours was a gray tabby.

    Post your latest oil change

    As I said above, I don’t believe it was dirty. I simply wanted to see if there’d be anything in the filter after a few OCIs. It wasn’t using oil, and there was nothing obvious under the valve cover. When I saw nothing in the filter pleats after 12k, I decided to go with a cheaper oil and use...
