I'm curious, how reliable is it for you? The AR-7 has a reputation for being extremely unreliable at feeding. That is, until Henry finally started working on improving the quality of the gun several years ago. Now, the reliability is on par with what they got in the Paul Harrell video. So...

While not anywhere near common yet, it is now recommended with some of the newer OAT and HOAT coolants, to test and replenish as needed, instead of doing a flush and fill proactively. I think the test and replenish method is very common in the commercial trucks, because it can cost a lot of...

I wouldn't worry about the filter you just put on. Without knowing how long the old filter has been on the car, it seems kind of hard to make any judgement as to the quality of the filter, or brand.

That is a first generation CLS, model years 2006 - 2008. In 2009, they got a facelift, which could be identified by different side view mirrors, and a different bumper and grill. Depending on what is causing his problems, I wonder if it could be more economical to drop in a used engine. From...

Bosch is my current brake fluid of choice. Higher boiling point than most all the other common brake fluids. In normal driving, I may never need the difference between the Bosch and the others, like Prestone or Valvoline. But I vacation in the mountains often, and it is nice to know that I've...

I'm facing the same decision. The film that was taken off today, so I could pass inspection, was 20%. Now that the inspection is complete, I have to decide if I put 20% back on, knowing that it doesn't meet Utah law, or go with 35%, so I don't have to be concerned about getting unwanted...

Yes. Thank you.

When I took my wife's new-to-us X5 in for an inspection, it was failed because of the window tint. The shop measured 17% light transmission, and Utah law states 35% minimum, with a 5% allowance for variation, for an absolute minimum of 30%. So I'm going to have to get the window tint removed...

There are plenty of motor oils that don't give a mileage rating. Some of the best motor oils don't give a mileage rating. M1 FS Euro oils don't. Valvoline R&P doesn't. HPL doesn't. Is there anyone here who would shy away from any of these motor oils, because they don't claim to be good for...

The video that @edyvw shared reminded me of a little event that happened here in Utah. About 10-15 years ago, Maverik gas stations, had a contest for winning a Lamborghini Murcielago, painted in a stunning lime green color. Maverick paraded it around the state for about a year, to promote...

Perhaps it depends upon the state, but when I have asked, the tire store told me they are legally obligated to collect the tire disposal fee for every new tire sold.

Yea, I guess that is true of all of the brands. That definitely narrows the choices. Here are pictures of the passenger and rear seat Tuxmat in my wife's car. I took a picture of the driver mat too, but the mat was still wet from me cleaning it up, and didn't look good. I'll get another...

I forgot to mention that one disadvantage to the Tuxmat floor mats, is that they only come in black. That was not a problem for me, because the carpet in my wife's X5 is black, so the mats compliment the interior. I believe quite a few of the other floor mats, including Husky, are also only...

After reading some of the excellent reviews of the Tuxmat floor mats, I decided to try a set out for my wife's new X5. They were delivered last week and I got them installed. So far, I could not be more pleased. Here is my opinion so far. Appearance: Absolutely the nicest looking...

Hey, @GON there is quite a span between 2-3k and 10k oil changes. From what you have shared with us over the years, I suspect you just like to do oil changes. So keep doing what you like doing, and enjoy every moment of it. ;)

I think most of us would be very surprised how many different manufacturers will produce aftermarket parts. For the last 20+ years of my career, I worked for a company that manufactured automotive safety components, such as seat belts and airbags. We were a Tier 1 / Tier 2 supplier to most all...

My apologies for not being more clear. Following your posts, I know you are quite experienced at breads. From the discussion title, I was under the impression that this may be the first, for this particular recipe variation.

My wife has had success with making sourdough bread with a 90/10 unbleached white bread flour/wheat flour ratio. Much more than 10% wheat, and it doesn't turn out. We are at about 4200' elevation. @Pablo, the bread looks scrumptious! Is this a first time? Tell us how it tastes.

I may be remembering wrong, but I seem to remember that way back in the very infancy of Tesla, when Elon defined his plan, one of the elements was a desire to drive a change in culture, where EV became the norm. I thought he even stated that after his company (Tesla) had developed leading edge...

Do you use oil based tire shine on your tires? And if yes, is it UV blocking? Oil based tire shine products are notorious for causing early tire cracking, if they don't have UV blocking in them.
