When I read the post, my first thought was " Only One Weird Experience? " The cops come to my Walmart so often they could save gas and install a Walmart Cop permanently.

The muffler recently fell apart on my Craigslist special 3.75 HP Briggs and Stratton mower. The muffler uses a 1/2 inch pipe stub tapped into the block. The remaining pipe stub seemed frozen or corroded into place and I could not budge it. I tried a trick that I read about. I ran the mower till...

Thanks to everyone who posted. I stopped by Advance Auto today and had them check for pending trouble codes, since they have a higher end OBD scanner. No pending codes and looks great :-)

Good catch on the sensor! The sensor I replaced is in the exhaust manifold and is considered the upstream sensor. My mistake calling it downstream. I have only driven the van about 25 miles so far. I guess the next few weeks of driving will tell. I do not really understand the whole OBD...

Good evening - My 2003 Dodge Caravan lit the check engine light. I bought a 15 buck OBD Scanner at Walmart and it gave code P0135. I replaced the downstream O2 sensor and the check engine light is now out. I did disconnect the battery cable for safety while changing the sensor. The OBD scanner...

A friend of mine in Delaware just signed over the title, took the cash, and the guy left. Three days later the cops jacked him up and not very politely inquired why "his truck" was involved in a high speed chase which damaged a cop car. My friend was saved because he had extensive texts in his...

Good evening - I have a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan with "saggy" lift gate struts. I have whacked my forehead for the last time and plan to change out the gas struts. The job looks pretty simple, but, I have a few questions: Should I get Factory Mopar parts or auto store generic parts? Any tips...

Fluid Film it heavily once a year and the frame will most likely live forever. One odd charactoristic of Fluid Film is that it loosens the upper layer of rust over time. I Fluid Filmed a truck with a badly rusted differential yearly for several years. Over about a three year period, the surface...

I had the exact same experience with a 2003 Dodge Caravan auto trans. The Chinese Advance auto filter will not lock in place and a Mopar factory filter locks in solidly.

Chris 142, I feel for ya! if you want to be truly entertained (or outraged ) try renting houses to people. I had a 30 year old male bring his mother and SIX other females to a lease signing. All seven females decreed that the clean, freshly painted rental was a pigsty and not good enough for...

I hope the storm will miss my county. If not, I have my home and two rentals that might have roof damage. I plan to go to Harbor Freight and buy several big tarps. Can anyone give me tips on how to tarp a damaged roof? This will just be temporary till I can get the insurance company to line up a...

OK Thanks. I thought 5 quarts was OK, just wanted to check.

My wife has a 2012 Chevy Cruze with 1.8 liter. Per the owners manual, the crankcase capacity with oil filter change is 4.76 quarts. I am tempted to just dump in a 5 quart jug of whatever oil I pick and call it done. Is there any problem overfilling by 8 ounces of oil? Thanks in advance for any...

How about putting a Magnefine filter in the trans cooler line? There is a recent post where this cured a shifting problem. Total cost 25 dollars and two hours easy work. I would do a pan drop and put in a factory trans filter as well.

I dont see the problem. Face tattoos are very useful to " normal " folk. I was shopping with my wife and saw a biker looking guy with a Swastika on his cheek! I bet that goes over well with HR people. :-) I kept a close eye on the guy until we left. Think of facial tattoos as a flag that says "...

I have a 2003 Dodge Caravan that I THOUGHT was rust free. The vehicle has very little rust as I rarely drive it in the winter. I just looked under the vehicle and the rear spring shackles are heavily rusted. The cussed things look like they spent 15 years in the ocean. I grabbed an old...

Good Morning - I used to repair tires on my beater cars with a Walmart grade tire repair kit consisting of a T Handle tool, rasp, rubber coated ropes, and glue. Now, I read that this kind of repair is unsafe, for temporary use only, and may cause a supervolcano in Yellowstone and end planetary...

I used to work on gas meters for the local power company. " Inner city " gas and electrical modifications were a hoot. The locals would pull the electric meter and use jumper cables to reconnect the power. They also used bits of flattened copper pipe to bridge across the meter contacts. Removing...

A few years ago I worked as a gas meter tech at the local power company. Nasty, dangerous job but you got to see a lot of amazing stuff. I left my truck at a locked gate and walked down a long lane to work on a meter at a farm house. About halfway down the lane was a sign nailed to a tree...

Here is my review on the Fluid Film Pro Gun I purchased this kit directly from the maker, so, I am not a verified buyer. I have a 20+ year old truck which was falling apart due to rust. I got the kit, read the instructions a few times, watched some Youtube videos, then did a perfect...
