I have an old school battery charger with a 75 amp "booster" setting for starting a car...is that safe to use for that purpose? I am very hesitant to do so.

I have a bluetooth battery monitor I purchased on eBay for $15 four years ago, they work pretty good. Model # BM2 Free app, but turn off the location services, as some are concerned about that being nefarious. I did some research on the app and found it is also used as a parking "car...

That is unfortunate. I have had zero issues with about 8 different brands. But focused recently on the Battery Minder and Pulse Tech because the desulfate process they both use appears to work much better than anything I have owned previously. The Pulse Tech is a recent addition but the...

I have a 2018 M550ix (different engine by same oil requirements in the manual) and have been using LL-01 or LL-04 per forum user recommendations. I have been using either Quaker State Euro 5w-40 LL-01 or Pennzoil Euro L 5w-30 LL-04. Planning to move to Mobil 1 ESP 5w-30 LL-01...but some say...

Especially when your market is the low end, low margin portion. Ruger will up market them and get better margins with their name and reputation. They just need to ensure the quality meets the expectations expected of a Ruger product.

Too bad they couldn't include Destructive Devices on the list...but I get that is probably a harder sell to politicians when we are talking about mortars, M79s and M203s. And I wasn't planning to get another.

I buy 22s by the case of 5,000, so that is only 60 cases. Not gonna take up that much space.

All the big names are adding capacity...grow or die. I get industry updates through some trade magazines (I'm an FFL holder) and the market is down right now...smaller manufacturers are struggling, so there is an opportunity for the big guys to swallow them up. Winchester bought AMMO INC and...

It could flip, if China and Russia ever get favored nation status ever again...they still have millions of them.

THIS. I still have an old school charger with a boost function, but they really cannot be trusted for anything more than a few hours quick charge at 15 or 20 amps. Hell I wouldn't even trust it on the 2 amp setting for more than a day. I have seen it boil electrolyte on smaller batteries...

If it has a Bosch part number, you can search off that. My old F355 Ferrari needed a MAF and Ferrari wanted like $700. I looked up the Bosch part number on it, and it crossed over to a BMW E34 540 M62 engine. That Bosch MAF was available online from a German parts house in a Bosch box, (not a...

Who is original equipment for your Ford? Pierberg?

Same, I have a commercial account with Fed Ex due to a former employer...it bills to me, but I get their preferred rates. I sent back the entire front suspension and steering center link, along with a bunch of filters from my BMW for less than $20. Being the PNW, shipping to the other end of...

Different experiences. I have won appeals as well...even had buyers suspended. But buyers have more power than sellers for sure. I have never been screwed as a buyer, even when an attempted scam was tried on me. I have always been refunded.

including your return shipping charges? I return parts and filters...only fluids I return is ATF at $18 per liter. This year I returned my front suspension...control arms, endlinks, steering center link...$800 credit.

Never. Everything I purchased on eBay was fulfilled by WalMart. Best part is eBay has total buyer protection for buyers...so if you get scammed you get 100% of your money back. EBay always favors buyers over sellers. I sell on eBay and have been ripped off by buyers a couple times...eBay...

I'm active on BMW and Ferrari forums, and seen enough issues with using anything but OEM as problematic. Modern engine ECUs (Bosch on my cars) is very sensitive to the sensor data and its accuracy. I have seen enough threads about aftermarket MAFs, even from decent well respected aftermarket...

Not sure what you need...I would call them https://autoparts.lewistoyota.com/products/product/transmitter-electrical-key-8999448271

I always prefer OEM. I have found that many Toyota dealers offer much better deals online than locally. Plus, you CAN typically order keys and key fobs from the dealer online, you just have to submit a copy of your drivers license and registration as proof of ownership and identity. I've...

I'm old...way back, it was common for people to say "I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole", when referring to something they wouldn't consider buying, dating, whatever. "The expression "I wouldn't touch that with a 10-foot pole" is an idiom used to express strong dislike, aversion, or...
