I'm surprised that you haven't run across any of the posts regarding Sienna tire pressure, specifically, the Sienna being too heavy for Toyota's recommended tire pressure. Don't follow Toyota's 35psi recommendation, put your tires up to 40-42psi and you should double your tire wear. Ask me how I...

16.9 MPG is completely normal (actually above normal) for this SUV with this 3L engine. Save your money for the real problems that you are going to have like broken exhaust studs and/or cracked exhaust manifolds, bad motor mounts, a bad A/C compressor, and bad fuel system rubber components (they...

Correct. The system will be strictly mono and each of the speakers will have a small transformer mounted on the back like this...

"A 34-ohm reading on a commercial building speaker system usually indicates you are measuring a 70-volt (70V) distributed audio system." The correct type of amplifier that you should use would be a PA amplifier like this (connected to the 70v output)...

Yes, the aluminum decks WILL corrode, just like steel. Toro has used this lousy aluminum alloy formulation for many years. The last time that they used a quality aluminum alloy on residential mowers was back in the 80s. Beginning in the early 90s they started importing their residential mower...

The way to make this kind of trip worthwhile would be to purchase a larger quantity of gas that you won't use-up quickly because long-term storage is not an issue with 100LL. In a well sealed plastic fuel container it will last AT LEAST 5 years before going bad (10 years or longer in a well...

The lead content and octane rating are NOT what you are trying to achieve by using 100LL Avgas in small engines. No ethanol, significantly longer shelf life, and lower volatility are the attributes you are looking for. 110 racing fuel does not have these last two attributes so you really aren't...

This statement doesn't make sense. Resistance is a DC measurement, RMS is AC. You would simply put the DMM in the lowest ohm setting and read the resistance. If the resistance reads higher than the lowest ohm setting will measure, you have a 70/100 system and you need a PA amp. If the resistance...

You can't tell me that you spent more money on the maintenance of your Sienna then you have on your Tiguan (I know what you have done to your Tiguan to keep it going). I have only spent $15 total on repairs on my 21 year old Sienna with over 200k miles, everything else has been normal...

Wait a minute. When you "dropped" the Sienna you got a VW Atlas, then in fairly short order you got rid of the Atlas and purchased the Sequoia. You have been conveniently leaving that out. I have to assume that, by your omission, the Atlas must have been an absolute nightmare for you to go back...

37mpg? I call BS on this one. Maybe coming DOWN the mountain (coasting half the way), MAYBE. Otherwise, I still say that you are smoking crack (unless you have Alzheimer's and think that you are still driving that BMW Diesel). So, I guess that you are getting ready to trade-in that junk Sequoia...

Now I know that you are smoking crack.

Ideally, this would be the way to go, if you can find it. It's longer shelf life and lower volatility (primary requirements of aviation fuel) should be equivalent to 100LL. 91/94/96 UL is not as yet carried by many/most airports as many/most aircraft piston engines are not certified in the US to...

Yes, this can be a problem with group IV oils. 100LL can solve many fuel storage issues with small engines, but when using 100LL I recommend the use of straight weight SAE 30 HD conventional oil (or SAE 20/SAE 40 depending on ambient temperature) or a lower-end group III synthetic blend if...

Negative. It is the chemicals in the tire shine/dressing that cause this. If you don't put the tire shine/dressing on them they won't turn brown. If you want to enhance the appearance of your tires I found that the best product to use is 303 protectant. It won't be real shiny like most...
