    Deck spring

    It definitely does not attach to that cotter pin. On the twin blade 42" on my Craftsman/AYP machine, that spring mounts to a post towards the back of the deck. Sort of in the same location as the oval slot closest to the cotter pin on yours.

    Woolwax or Krown?

    With any of the oil, wax or lanolin based products, they all work the same way. They key is the regular re-application of the product based on your usage. I'm big on Woolwax and FF and have been using those two exclusively since 2018. I have the spray gun kits and do the applications myself...

    Best Price for ZF Lifeguard 8, 9, or Mopar ATF?

    My brother has about 80K miles on his 2019 Ram 1500 4x4 w/ pentastar w/ the stellantis copy of the ZF8. He did it's first drain/fill with Maxlife 2yrs ago and may have done another since. No issues. He bought the truck new. I have suggested to him that he should have swapped pans when...

    Does Size Matter? Engine Displacement….How Low Can They Go?

    Nice! Yours has the latest LSD 1.5T, so you don't have the cam driven vacuum pump to power the vac booster for the brakes. There is no vac booster on 2023+ as they went all electronic for the brakes. Be sure to do dump/fills often on that 9AT. Very easy to do.

    Ecogard X2500-B

    I did an oil change on my 2021 Traverse yesterday and replaced the ACD UPF63R that was on it with one of the Ecogard 2500's. I cut open the used UPF63R as I do all my filters and I actually like the look of the media can, the bypass valve and ADBV on the Ecogard better. The ACD has a...

    Does Size Matter? Engine Displacement….How Low Can They Go?

    I love the little LYX 1.5T paired to a the 6AT in my 2021 Equinox. I'm sure it's tiny turbo spins it's little heart out, but you wouldn't know it. It's smooth, quiet and has great power and economy for what it is. I average 30-34mpg tank to tank and it's AWD. I can point to threads over...

    1973 New Yorker is rear-ended by Kia Forte

    I was thinking the same thing.

    1973 New Yorker is rear-ended by Kia Forte

    That's a shame. Imagine trying to find body/chassis parts for a 1973 New Yorker?

    Low smoke 2 stroke Outboard Oil

    It's an old thread here, but this is a 200hp V6 2-stroke outboard I believe. You are going to get visible smoke at idle no matter what oil you run in it. Nature of the beast. Embrace it IMO.

    Nissan Recall for Potential VC-Turbo Engine Failure

    Of course we don't know the full story on the life that 2.0L tear down engine lived, but I found it curious how nasty looking the backs of those intake valves looked considering these engines use GDI and port injection.

    Yes it is. Thank you. A FWD version of the ZF9.

    Has anyone used an aftermarket valve body for the Subaru TR580 CVT?

    I've seen South main auto on YouTube do the valve body swap on CVT Subarus. Pretty sure Eric only uses OEM parts though.

    Need building solution for covered patio addition

    As @AZjeff suggested, you could do a one of the modular aluminum/foam roofs attached under the higher soffet, sloping downward over the deck rail, stair areas. Leaving the lower hip roof and gutter area to the left, open as is. Some of my family members have similar setups. I've had them as...

    E-85 Fiasco with 2010 Buick Lucerne

    It's probably a little hung over.

    A new type of security blanket for young people?

    Could be a 90deg day in the hood and you'll see fellas with hoodies sinched tight and 'rona face masks on. Usually on a squeaky, rattly bicycle too just for max efficiency.

    Debit Card hacked

    Agreed. It's possible rules have changed since my bank debit/VISA got hit a few years ago. Since I have overdraft protection, once they emptied my checking account, they started hitting my savings account before I caught it. It all happened overnight. It was over $10K gone in a few hours...

    Venting the heat out of the top of my arched exposed breezeway?

    That looks really nice. Great build quality. I don't know if there is a way to mitigate radiant heat from the sun, working it's way through the structure, other than build a ceiling with an air gap, then insulate and ventilate that space between the underside of the roof and the ceiling.

    Nissan Frontier random surge/stall.

    If an OEM crank sensor is cheap and easy enough to swap, it's worth a try. Like everyone else suggested, best bet would be to run live data and monitor sensor signals, etc, as it's acting up, but I know most of us don't have the ability to do so. Other than that, this could be as simple as...

    Shipping Engine Oil

    I mail order jugs of oil all the time. Sometimes boxes when I find a deal. The boxes usually have their "windows" and spouts tucked/boxed inside and you have to physically remove them, so shipping them usually isn't a problem. In terms of how shippers pack these items changes all the time...
