    HELP! 2002 Toyota Tundra V8 4WD A/T

    Thinking MAF since it influences A/T behavior. If you have access to live data check/graph intake air temp (IAT) and airflow rate (g/s).

    What is the newest oil you've purchased?

    Last oil purchases were Valvoline R&P 5W30 Case of 3 - 5Qt bottles for the older vehicles and XL-III 5W30 5Gal box for the Euro stuff. Looking to buy R&P 0W20 for the newer vehicles.

    2010 Honda Civic 1.8L A/T 138,000mi Replace both front CV axles. Went with the 'destructive' method instead of playing around with prybars. Cut large band on inner CV boot and remove shaft. Clamp vice grip slide hammer to inner CV housing and give it the beans. Then quickly throw drain pan on...

    Even premium parts still have its quality issues. Fan clutch redo on a Freightliner M2 Cummins ISB 6.7L. Serial# needed for warranty claim. First replacement clutch was not disengaging with the air actuation off so it would squeal with the engine running and the resistance of the fan dragging on...

    Def vs. Premium Def

    This looks to reduce the crystal deposits that gets built up in the decomposition tube and erosion of the DEF injector nozzle assembly. Long term use will tell but I've seen aftertreatment systems taken apart in 250,000mi Class 8 trucks with the SCR side still clean running on bulk DEF. This...

    Post your latest oil purchase or even filter.

    The saddest box of oil I've ever purchased. Forgotten in the corner top shelf of NAPA's DC. Found when it was available online and checked out. Glue holding the box together failed so it was taped up with packing tape. Even the tape is rotting and peeling away. This oil is a bit different than...

    Not in the garage today, giving my gaming PC setup a cleaning and setting up a brand new monitor, replacing a 10 year old LG 4K monitor. New monitor is a InnoCN 32M2V 4K 144Hz MiniLED gaming monitor. A step below OLED without running the risk of burn-in but all the brightness and contrast...

    Has anything increased in price as much as replacement wiper blades have?

    Until a quick lube place ends up replacing the factory blades with aftermarket blades then bummer. Someone posted a refillable 22" J-Hook wiper blade in the detailing forum a while ago. Have some vehicles that take 22" blades so those might be a viable upgrade.

    Horton HT650 air actuated fan clutch replacement on a Freightliner M2 Cummins 6.7L. Fast (audible) air leak coming from fan clutch which means instant DOT violation. Old fan clutch. Space between the friction plate and piston. Airline connects to the nose. New fan clutch installed. 1/2"...

    2010 F-150 STX 4.6L 2-valve spark plug replacement

    Did not have to remove the fuel rails when I did spark plugs on a '08 4.6L. There is enough space to pull the coil off the plug and plenty flexible to flex the coil around the rails.

    C&P from r/nissandrivers. "It all starts with their core demographic of new buyers, which tends to be those with poor or no credit. Nissan will finance a moldy potato, so anybody and everybody can get into an Altima - even if they really shouldn't. The new ones get beat to **** because the...
