How bad is it to sand? What I'm working with, is a 4x6" opening for the back of the light. I should be able to use a 12" tape blade to level it pretty well with the surrounding areas. And block it from there. All the lights are apart of large vertical walls that have no contour or anything. I...

I did something stupid, and I bought an ambulance to convert into a road trip/ RV. The aluminum on the box is kind of rough in areas, so I figure I should do something about the lights while I'm at it. I'm only going to keep a couple of the area flood lights, and all emergency lights are...

Oh boy I found another rabbit hole. 2002 Ford e-450, 7.3. There was somebody on here that made a confirmed 5% increase in fuel economy, just by switching from motorcraft 15w40 to motorcraft 10w30 diesel oil. Convention has always taught me that the 7.3 takes 15W40, but I don't have a owner's...

Rv it, but more like a gear hauler/ camp kitchen It got 17.95 mpg on the last highway stretch home, so I could daily it, it gets better mpg than my xj Also going to be a cross country road trip vehicle, we have family everywhere

Long story short I bought an early 2000s ambulance, with a 7.3 and a 4r100. The best of my knowledge I need mercon v or before. It's a relatively low mileage truck, exceedingly so considering its age, I'd like to change out the filter, and do a couple of drain and fills with something cheap to...

It's a 2002 medtec 106k on it, and it was in service with a suburb until 2017, or 15 years. Fire service, so hours are low, and rust is low, although corrosion is.... The box is going to need some paintwork. It looks way better than it doesn't real life in this picture. I work on ambulances...

I just bought my first diesel, it's a 2002 e450, as an ambulance, andI I'm looking for a recommendation, I'd like to run something that is good for a relatively short oci, at cleaning up the internals of an older powerstroke. Specifically a 2002 7.3. I know heavy duty engine oils have decent...

that all depends on your use case. in my area I need pure traction, shock loads are low. think muddy fields and deep snow, not hopping rocks I also maintain weak axles as a fuse point

a lunchbox locker is just a class of locker. the cheap ratcheting autolockers that could be had by bringing a lunchbox to work for a month or two. an aussie locker or a spartan locker are two of the most popular models

97 Jeep Cherokee XJ, Dana 30 front axle, 3.07 gears. I'm going to install a lunch box locker in the next couple of days. One of the Aussie locker styles. It gets very cold here at times, so I intend to run a 75w90 in it to improve cold performance. Is that a bad call? I'm also looking for...

Odd problem. I have a leftover quart of Mercedes-Benz power steering fluid that I used on a late model (2017ish) sprinter. I bought a golf mk4, (2000) and in the process of putting it back together i drained the power steering fluid, and need to replace it. What do you think are the odds it...

How's it shift?

My old ragged xj is due for a trans service. It's gotten cold here in Minnesota, and the first couple of miles is like shifting through frozen pudding. The ax-15 isn't having any of it. Any oil recommendations for something with good cold weather performance? Factory spec was a range of gear...

Will the 40 weight trip any codes? I know some oil solenoids are sensitive to oil weight (mostly Honda, but Still)

I currently have to change the wife's oil. She has a 2015 Subaru Forester with the fb25 engine, and a 6-speed. That combination is known for drinking oil, and hers is no exception. We had an oil consumption test done, but it just greased by at 75000 miles and they wouldn't put a short block in...

Here is a picture of the engine placard for those who need it

I have been gifted a used Craftsman 917.270532,with a Briggs Ic gold, 14.5 hp engine, riding mower. The previous owner let the head gasket blow, and with a quick replacement she fired right up. After the initial joy of hearing it pop over, I idled it down, and surprise, a knock at idle...

This isn't true. Evenrude has developed their e-tek series, adding direct injection and a sealed oil sump
