    Engine RPM With A/C Running ??

    That's me as well. My 1991 Ford F-150 is still turning its original A/C pump after 34 years. But with the 4 speed automatic overdrive, it rarely gets to 3,000 RPM. Most of these things are designed to provide satisfactory performance in low speed, low RPM city driving. I can't see where pushing...

    Removing Heavy Calcium Rings From Toilet Bowls

    It would be best if you could stretch something like Saran Wrap over the top of the bowl to seal it, after adding the acid.

    Engine RPM With A/C Running ??

    Do any of you keep the engine revs down when you have your A/C pump running? I know the pumps are pretty much designed to operate within the RPM envelope of the engine. But I refrain from pushing the revs too high, (4,000 RPM+), when I have the A/C running. If I stand on either my Jeep, or my...

    Removing Heavy Calcium Rings From Toilet Bowls

    Be very careful using Muriatic Acid indoors. The fumes are very bad when inhaled. Not to mention they will rust metal almost immediately. If you have guns, it takes almost nothing for the fumes to cause instantaneous rusting.

    YUGO is coming back!

    These are my 2 M70's. The stamped receivers are heavier than any of my milled receiver models.

    YUGO is coming back!

    Yugo Zastava makes, (made), good AK-47 under folders. Good, solid receivers.

    oil filter change interval for 7.3L PSD?

    I'm having a difficult time believing that oil went 4K in a diesel.

    Another article showing concern in the housing market- yet the author may have lacked critical thinking

    It's really not over simplified. Our currency has been vastly over inflated by massive printing. Added to that is tremendous deficit over spending, year after year by the government. All with nothing to back it up. Proof of that has been the rise of the price of gold, along with other precious...

    Another article showing concern in the housing market- yet the author may have lacked critical thinking

    The current housing market doesn't scare me. Neither does the current price of new vehicles or groceries. Or the price of anything else for that matter. Our national debt, on the other hand, scares the hell out of me. Most people have no idea how much $36 TRILLION dollars is. We talk numbers in...

    Another article showing concern in the housing market- yet the author may have lacked critical thinking

    Exactly. In most financial markets, including housing, the predictions of severe gloom and doom seldom transpire. Look at California. I've been saying that state is due for a big housing crash since the late 90's. Yet in spite of all the current issues they're dealing with out there, housing is...

    Good help is hard to find - forgotten seal…

    The heads are cast iron, but the intake is Aluminum. I use Simple Green straight from the bottle on a cold engine. I just back it out of the garage, then shut it off. I buy it in the gallon jugs, and apply it full strength with one of those cheapie pump up, 1/2 gallon insecticide sprayers from...

    Good help is hard to find - forgotten seal…

    After you get everything back together, and are convinced the problem is solved, give that thing a good soaking with Simple Green on a COLD engine. Then rinse it with a low pressure garden hose. Simple Green really works well as a degreaser, and it won't harm plastic and rubber. I've been using...

    Yeah, and he took out Simpson and Sting Ray Robb with him. Robb's afternoon was shaping up pretty good until then.

    The worst was watching Scott McLaughlin lose it while scrubbing in his tires. That's something you would expect from Danica. Not a top Penske driver. I'm sure Penske is going to let him know about it. Especially after the whole "cheating" scandal. He doesn't tolerate mistakes very well...

    Castrol's 25,000 mile claim

    I agree completely. There is nothing wrong with this product. I'm sure it is an excellent oil, if not one of the best out there. But I would use it's claim of lasting 25,000 miles, only as a testimony to its quality. But I would certainly never push it that far, just because the printing on the...
