    how to tell if vehicle broken in properly

    Unless the front tires are bald and there's melted rubber coating the inside of the wheel wells.... you'll never be sure. :D (Laugh... but I had Enterprise try to give me a Dodge Ram (with a Hemi) as a rental. Both rear tires had been spun bald, and the insides of both wheel wells were...

    Insurance / Body Shop Dilemma after Wreck

    I've had to go through this before. It is not quick nor easy. Body shop #1 (part of a Ford dealership) did a horrible job of the repairs... so bad that I got the adjuster for the insurance company fired over it. (Come to find out, the insurance company finally figured out that their adjuster...

    Nope. Good to go.

    Auto Insurance for an old car and young driver

    To insure a 20 year old pickup worth $5,000, it costs me $400 a year. To insure a brand new pickup worth $50,000, it would cost me $800 a year. The new truck is worth 10 times as much, but the yearly premium only doubles.

    Driveway sealing issue

    There appears to be some sort of adhesion issue. Was the asphalt washed/clean prior to application? Were temperatures at the time of application possibly an issue (too cold)? Was the sealer properly mixed prior to use? Is it possible the sealer was applied too thickly in the areas where it has...

    How come i can always fix everyone else's problems, but anything of my own is a nightmare?

    I overthink my own repair problems.... yet just dive in on other people's repair problems, to get them done and out of the way as quickly as possible.

    Kirkland FS High Mileage is here!

    I think I'd rather pay the 5.5 cents more per quart for SuperTech, and get a DEXOS approved oil.

    What is wrong with this tire?

    Tread design looks like a Goodyear Wrangler SR-A to me, like the ones on my 2018 Sierra SLT.

    PSA: Ram Trucks, check your emergency roadside jack bolt.

    Dad thought I was nuts to lower the spare tire from underneath his 2011 Town and Country when he bought it. For those who don't know, the spare resides underneath the van, in between the driver and passenger seats. I was only checking to see if: (a) the spare was there, (b) if it had air in...

    Lots of iron and calcium in my well water

    My folks were in the same situation. They were using the same well that had been on the property for decades, the well was so old that it was originally hooked up to a windmill and later converted to be pumped by an electric motor. The rod that went down the well shaft was made of wood, and...

    Dex 3 or Dex 6...which is ok?

    On Dad's old 2000 Sierra, he blew a line off of the transmission cooler and lost about half of the fluid. I used the Valvoline Dex III/Mercon (in a blue jug) from Wal-Mart. On the jug, it clearly states that it is for pre-2006 vehicles only. Worked just fine. I wouldn't use the newer Dex 6...

    Electric vs Propane Water Heater

    You can also put a timer on an electric hot water heater, so that it doesn't heat water when you don't need it, such as overnight. Unless you actually take a shower or run your dishwasher at 2am. This way, you can shut it down at 8pm, then have it kick on at 5am, so it is ready for a shower...

    What is going on with the MC styling these days?

    Honda Goldwing looks the same that it has for almost 10 years now. And it was the same for almost 20 years before that. 🤷‍♀️ I'm clearly looking at the wrong motorcycles.
