Pcv valve would be a great place to start

If you grease enough its not really a problem. Just make sure to use a chassis grease on the chassis, and a bearing grease on bearings... etc Only way I deviate is using wlg in boat trailers... but there are enough lithium compounds where you can find a good compromise

It depends on how much 2 stroke oil is in the gas...

I know this is apples to oranges , there was a YouTube video about a ford aspire where the owner threw a brickon the aaccelerator and let it go. 25 minutes later the radiator blew. 30 minutes later it locked up. 55 minutes later it restarted... Engines are tougher than you'd think

Your radio is complying with part 15 of the FCC rules...

I've had great luck with the bottom of a coffee mug. The ceramic is fine and so t remove too much but its not teadious. Learned that way back in scouts. You can feel the blade angle , and if you can't, you choose one you like to hold and run with it Way cheaper than stones. Way more common too...

A few years back autolite had an online course you could take where they had an engineer explain why the problem existed, and a 99.999 effective way to pull plugs. The problem is that it takes time... like overnight so techs are hesitant to do it and owners flip out over not having their truck...

Euro cars have always liked a thicker oil. They run well on a hdeo as well. Look in the manual, the spec'd range of acceptable will be huge. 200 k isn't that much, but I would stay with a 5w40 if it were me

The ford fusion and later chev Malibu might be worth looking into. I work in fleet maint and our 2010 fusions have started to tick over the 180k mark so they are looking to replace. 1 tune up, several sets of brakes/tires, and trans/oil changes. Not too bad They will sell them to me for...

And to really throw you for a loop I'd recommend a ruger lcr. .38spc does the job and I know if I had to fall back to a backup I'd be shaken up, so something with an easy manual of arms and unshakable reliability would be nice. OTOH there's having the same manual of arms with the g42/43 has its...

That puff after idling leads me to valve stem seals. But only after a half hour seems minor. The other thing is it could be a stuck pcv valve. That would cause oil to pool in the intake manifold and be consumed under acceleration Try a high milage oil if available and see if it helps. How...

Its the NP/nv246. Yeah its got an auto 4wd setting. Its the original one and it doesn't have pump rub surprisingly It was owned by a contractor previously, and he did a good job of keeping it maintained... except for fluids. When he bought his new 2014, the price was too good to pass up...

It has no rot, a new trans, and even compression. Its also a short box reg cab. I got it cheap and am willing to fix it. No service 4wd light

The thing is I kinda really do want another. Something about the driving dynamic was just there, for me. I guess that's why I've had four of em over the years.. My first was a red 95 aspire... Even a Mazda 323 is not out of the realm of yes for me.. Herrstig is right I can't even find one at...

Get a bike. Check out the Honda nc700x its upright and different. The wee storms are fun too So are Honda shadows [censored] get one of each I love my klr

I have 2 hi and 2 low. Truck has 230k on it. Axle actuator works 4wd kind of works in the air (all four spin, differential has action, tires will kinda grip a little, but blocked in 4 WD there is no pull , like its in 2wd with the rear end in the air How does the encoder motor engage the clutches?

I'm feeling nostalgic about my first car. Anyone know where to find a ford festival or aspire for sale ? Preferably a 2 door stick? Red maybe?
