Good Afternoon - I run a Magnefine transmission filter on my Dodge Caravan. I used to buy them directly from the Magnefine website to avoid getting a counterfeit copy. That website is off line, at least for me. Is buying Magnefines from Amazon safe ? Thanks in advance for any advice :)

Thanks for this info. I will buy this to get the oil change tube. A lot of reviews talk about the magnet falling out so will use the factory dipstick. Thanks to everyone who posted :-) This place is an awesome source of info

The generator is an EU2200i. I paid $1200 out the door at a local place that services what they sell. I always wanted a Honda for boondock camping

Good Morning - I just picked up a new Honda EU2000 series generator. The model number is EAMT The new version of this generator has a larger diameter dipstick/drain plug and the old style magnetic drain plugs will not fit. The generator also has a built in "chute " to prevent spilling oil during...

Great ! Guess I will be changing the oil tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who posted 😀

I have a 2019 Chevy Colorado with V6. I run 5w30 Mobil 1 and a factory Delco oil filter. The old Mobil 1 jug is marked Dexos 1 Gen 2 and the new jug is marked Dexos 1 Gen 3. Can I mix this stuff? I assume it is compatible but wanted to check. Thanks in advance for any advice. :)

The pipe does pitch up instead of down 1/4 inch per foot. The previous owner bought a trashed, copper stripped foreclosure home and “ fixed it up “ I wonder if the guy drank a lot. The plumbing has been clog free for over 20 years of daily use. We use bidet seats on the toilets so no toilet...

About 50 gallons. I went downstairs and WHAT IS THAT SMELL?

About 50 gallons

Pix are from my basement. A poorly supported main sewer pipe came loose and caused a minor crap flood when the washer drained. Luckily the basement is unfinished concrete so no real damage. I was working alone so I put two eye bolts above the pipe and lifted it with a length of rope. Installed...

92Saturn - Ceciltucky is a snarky name for Cecil County Maryland. The area is a mix of rednecks and educated professionals. The two factions do not always get along. I tried a property manager with no success. The area where the rentals are has become so dangerous, only truly poor or marginal...

As of today both of my class D rentals are vacant and will be sold! One is in OK shape, the other is trashed beyond all belief Either way, I am out of the rental business FOREVER. The area has had two drug murders since May. Time to sell while the properties are still worth something. I have...

Kira - There is another door hanger called an EZ Hang that works on exterior doors. Some of the brackets are detachable so you can install the door. I never used this version.

I recently hung my first interior door at an old house I am fixing up. I used a new product called a Quick Door Hanger instead of the usual wood shims. The hanger kit costs about 5 dollars at Home Depot. The kit contains 6 brackets that screw to the prehung door frame, 3 on each side. You put...

The spring does not prevent the addition of any solid or liquid. It just stops the siphon hose. I thought about a locking gas cap but they freeze up in winter.

I have an older Dodge Caravan and live in the country. My gas mileage dropped off to 6 MPG and I suspected the local kids were siphoning my gas. The Gas Bandit Blocker is a tapered coil spring. Using a long screwdriver, you thread the spring into the fuel filler till it disappears. The spring...

Got a call from a tenant. "I dropped something down the drain and now it is clogged. I need this fixed NOW!" In tenant speak "something" can be a wedding ring or a baby hippo. Got my shop vac with Clean Stream waterproof filter ( blatant plug ) and vacced out the drain. Got a bunch of small...

I am one of the early Fram haters. In 1985 we bought and cut open a lot of new oil filters out of curiosity. The Fram was absolute garbage, with the fiber end cap barely holding on. I kept those cut open filters for years, showing dozens of folks how the fiber end cap was barely attached. I...

The person who came up with Fernco fittings should win a Nobel prize. Fernco fittings make a horrible job easy.

The picture is a 1 1/2 inch galvanized pipe elbow installed in 1970. The blockage is a solid chunk of rust that closed off most of the pipe. I could never figure why the bathtub drained so slowly:) Anyhow the old pipe was cut out with a sawzall and replaced with Fernco fittings and PVC. That...
