    Broken Ring Lands - is it a sure thing they cause low compression?

    The ring has lost its support therefore allowing the ring to move-twist in a way that does cause blow. The cause of the broken ring land is the real issue…

    Rear diff cover with a sight glass.

    There is a leak. Typically it can be seen and/or smelled way before it’s ran dry. 2.5 qts was totally empty. Differentials don’t use or burn oil. They are not consuming anything. They are not internal combustion engines. They do leak. If you crawl under to inspect a “sight glass” you can also...

    Looking for the most experienced oil filter expert (or moderator) to answer one question.

    “Best” is a filter that is changed at a reasonable interval. Not 12k miles….for any oil or filter. That’s how you can absolutely ensure your engine has clean safe oil.

    {Really worried} Accidentally poured 2 20 oz of Techron

    If we only knew what our fuel blends were we would be concerned. There’s never a consistent blend when one week you get spark knocking and the next week it’s fine. All pumped from the exact refueling location and the same weather conditions as well as driving routes. That small amount of fuel...

    Toro or Troy-Bilt Push Mower Purchase

    I have one. Not impressed. Plastic tires-wheels like a child’s toy. Plastic mower deck shroud that distorts (heat) and the blades strike the shroud. Had to trim a section out of the shroud. Mulch or bag only. If in thick high grass you can’t discharge clippings….it clumps the clippings and...

    Getting ready to bleed brakes. Do you shake the bottle of brake fluid?

    It’s not like Pennzoil. There is no “additives” in the bottom.

    AC Delco PF66 (Champ) C&P

    Did its job as designed. That looks like the PF63 I installed on my 5.3 Sierra today. Noticed the larger holes and wider & thicker gasket. Wondering if another supplier is making the Delco filters?

    Wrangler JL Clutch Recall, Dealer Experience..Ugh..

    I’d prefer no “software update”. Their fix is to reduce the power of the engine rather deal with substandard clutch/flywheel components. Trade that junk and get something else.

    Modern Automatics, Low RPM, and Engine Longevity

    Me too. The 2.7 has been the forgotten workhorse engine that gets overlooked by the 3.5 and 5.0 engines.

    Did I get bad plugs?

    No. Not bad plugs. Extremely rich condition.

    2023 Blazer - Pick my filter

    You’re asking and you get opinions…. What if the non-AC Delco filter were to come apart etc. causing internal engine damage? You would have more of an issue getting warranty coverage than if the Delco filter did the damage. My opinion….just use the Delco.

    guys over 50 doing maintenance

    I’m 67 and service my cars, truck, boat, lawn mowers and everything else as needed. My chores have yet to change around the home and yard. I figure if something causes me to stop any/all of my activities, that’s the end of it. Arthritis in my lower spine will eventually make these activities...

    Help: diagnostic procedure for failed rear wiper.

    Some wiper systems are always “hot” with the wiper switch that applies ground. Either way, frayed wires have to be fixed probably.

    Keeping workers

    I worked with a guy who was in the Navy in WWII and was a welder in a shipyard. His eyes were really bad. Not enough protection in those face shields back then. He was a little guy that could get in those tight places. Hard working man in spite of his poor eyesight.

    Reasons NOT to use Kirkland 0w-20 or 5W-30 Synthetic...?

    I’d rather use any motor oil that I knew where it came from rather than the dealership oil change with low bid bulk from So & So Petroleum Products…

    How's this for glossy paint?

    Nice job. Pollen in North Carolina makes detailing anything a waste of time.
