I'll definitely cut a used one open and add pics to this thread. Maybe I'll do a new one for the sake of BITOG.

The filters have "made in China" painted on them. Nothing on the box in terms of COO.

I know Nissan FOBs are super sensitive to proper battery voltage. It's not uncommon to have to swap FOB batteries every 1-2yrs on later model Nissan FOBs and this is with good name brand replacements. It's not uncommon for off-brand replacements to not work right out of the box.

They do say "gold standard quality" on the side. I'm pretty pumped over that. The box of 12 is just shy of 9 lbs. The seller shipped it USPS from UT to Buffalo NY. The case was tightly wrapped in a bubble wrap type wrapping and arrived in good shape, which is surprising. The seller had...

I picked up a bulk pack case of these filters off the eBay machine for ~$29+tax, shipped. I needed something to fill in the gap while I wait for my ~$20 case of ACD UPF63R's from amazon, which is probably never going to happen. They look and feel like a decent filter for the price and I've...

They did a nice job with that. I haven't pulled the panel cover to see how neat it is inside, but I suspect it's decent. I was at work the day they did all the work. They also went room to room in the house, checking every light and receptacle and labelled every breaker. They were at the...

I actually had a a tree limb snag and pull down my phone line years ago. I left the phone co's utility box still on the side of my house near my meter, but I cut the service cable from there to the pole on my side of the road. The loose bit still dangles down the pole today, kind of tucked...

Here's the new 200A underground service. $6585, plus $1500 for the excavation. Pretty much all to get me exactly to where I was before the tree limb fell!

What width are you looking for? It's tough to find a traditional front engine rider with a cutting deck smaller than a twin blade 42", which tend to be an excellent cutting deck. Worst case you lift up the spring loaded plastic discharge chute to get through the gate I'm thinking?

If you can handle a penalty box, A 2013-2017 Nissan Versa S sedan with the 4AT is about as basic as you can get. No power windows, locks, etc. I have a 2015 with about 80K miles on it. Just for grins a few weeks ago, I looked into what Carvana would give me for it. They came back at $200...

I watched that Pine Hollow Diagnostics video. I didn't look into it, but I think that version of the pentastar may be different than most. That particular Wrangler Rubicon pentastar 3.6L had some type of variable valve lift situation. That was the cam and followers that were bad and...

In BITOG world we panic if the paint looks a little off.

Doesn't the Trax share the same 1.4T? Either way, these engines do not tolerate being overheated. I hope it works out OK for ya.

Dumb question, but have you replaced the batteries in both?

It's hard to say what happened to this 3.8. there are a few reports of early bearing failure on some of the early ones. The GDI 3.5 and 3.8 don't share any of the same parts as far as I'm aware. They look very different in terms of heads, manifolds, timing cover, accessory locations, etc...

I didn't even get a cancellation notice this time! I just happened to notice my "order received" status for this 12 pack of filters was nowhere to be found on my amazon info. I re-ordered again. For the 3rd time. It's so weird that they keep offering this too good to be true offer and...

A little OT, but did you see the 2019 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L pentastar pine hollow video with the bad cam and followers @ ~ 72K miles and no cams are available anywhere? That one shocked me.

I was just going to post that Watch Wes Work video, but @supton beat me too it. IMO, the worst thing about the 2nd gen Equinox is the 2.4L engine IMO. GM may have made some improvements to them towards the end, but I'm not sure I'd want one. If you poke around enough Equinox forums...

What you are describing sounds like a slight amount of corrosion on the florescent tube pins or on the spring contacts in the tombstones. This is pretty common in locations that are damp or have big temperature swings. Another culprit is poor tension on the contact points in the tombstones...

I know we've talked about it before in various other Mitsubishi / Jatco CVT threads, but for what ever reason, you don't hear of the CVT failures with Mitsubishi like you do with Nissan. Is it just the amount of Nissans vs Mitsubishis out there? Probably. Either way, I wouldn't let the CVT...
