Time will tell. I use it daily, and I'll report back if it breaks. I don't see any flaking or damage to it yet, but it's only been 2 weeks. 1-1/16"x 1/2" drive. I don't know the exact cost, but it was over $70 for one socket.

Gearwrench pin-less impact universals are absolute junk. I believe the original x core sockets were made in Taiwan, and were a great product for the price. I was able to use one in daily heavy industrial use on a Milwaukee 1/2" cordless for over a year. The replacement came, was made in China...

I had a couple of gallon jugs of distilled water which froze and cracked in the garage. There's a clearly a white chalky line were water ran across my floor. Is this salt or is it possibly some efflorescence pulled out of the concrete by the water? Thinking I might be better off using rain water...

I live in the Midwest where 0F is not uncommon in winter and ran that oil year 'round. Currently running Castrol Edge 0W-40 in everything in my driveway including my current 2.7 F150. I'm a big fan of 2V modular engines. Under powered but run forever. My 3V cost me an engine replacement at...

Reusing the OE gears but changing all diff bearings. I've got plenty of miles on it, and I've seen 8.8's have bearing issues. It's 34 spline axle c-clip style rear end. I believe adapting Mustang IRS OE (.009" off c-clips or grind spider gear cup deeper) is the only option. I paid $182 for a new...

It has 140,000 miles, but hoping for 10-15 years, maybe another 100,000 miles. It's mostly just my winter/spare vehicle.

I had a '97 F150 with a 4.6 and over 300,000 miles. It used about 1 qt every 1000 miles, and that started somewhere after 100,000 miles. On most 5-30's it was about 800-900 miles per qt, and when I switched so Castrol Syntech 5-40 it typically went about 1100 miles before it need a qt. The local...

I'm adding a limited slip to the super 8.8 in my '15 F150. Seems like I've seen recommendations to swap out gear lube as quick as the first oil change on new limited slip/posi clutch style differentials. Any thoughts on how fast the first change should happen?

Last year I bought a 129,000 mile '15 2.7 6r80 trans'd F150 with TC shudder from a private seller for a discounted price because of the shudder. It felt like rumble strips on the test drive. I added a tube of Lubegard Shudder stop in the PO's garage, and didn't feel the shudder again for about...

Thank you for the reply. I've got the cable forscan cable, but never got the app. I need to turn on my brake controller and want to turn on bambi mode. Honestly, I'm almost delighted with how well this trans shifts. I probably won't be messing with it. 5-4 is a known issue, and there's a flash...

They're there for fuel economy. It takes less horsepower to push air over the car than to push it through the radiator. The shudders are open anytime the ac compressor is running. I rebuilt a few salvage Cruzes with shudders. The shudder assemblies were very expensive to replace, and I learned...

Just to follow up. The factory Motorcraft LV fluid in the 6R80 made it to 140,000 miles with 1 dose Lubegard Shudder stop (10,000 miles) before the shudder returned. At that point I changed the filter, added a Dorman pan with drain, and swapped out about 7 qts with Valvoline Maxlife. The pan and...

I haven't put a master on in decades, but I watched a friend bleed one at his shop last month. The master he was doing had simple plugs for the master. None of the hoses that I was expecting. He just pushed the piston in 10-15 time until no bubbles floated back up through the reservoir. I've...

It does say suitable for use in air cooled engines right in the bottle: air cooled snowmobiles, chainsaws, and yard equipment.

So I found 4-5 new unopened qts of Chevron 2 stroke hidden on the back of a shelf at work. The bottles are marked 12/99 and have been stored inside a heated and air conditioned room. They're free if I want them. The oil looks uniform and is free from clumps. Any thoughts about using this oil in...

Personally I think boiled linseed oil is the way to go. An application every year or two keeps the underside of a vehicle nice. BLO takes weeks to dry but stays soft enough not to chip. It seeps into the rust and corners. It turns the rust dark. Since it dries to a dull sheen, you won't get...

I believe gasoline starts out with naptha distilled or fractionated from crude as its main ingredient. Naptha has an octane rating of about 60. Its octane is raised through catalyst reactions and hydrotreating which involves high pressure hydrogen. I don't believe there will ever be a safe...

Why the change? Were you experiencing TC shudder? What was the OE fluid? There was a comment on the M1 LV HP page about using LV HP in a fusion.

I have a '15 F150 with 2.7 and a 6r80 trans that has torque converter shudder. I got it to stop with Shudder Stop additive, but at 129,000 miles it needs a fluid change. I know that Mobil 1LV HP is the go to to stop shudder in GM 8 speed torque converters, and that there is overlap in...

How long did you run it between drain and fills? Why not just pull a cooler line and refill it as the trans is pumping it out?
