    One of two near me is one of the ~750 to close I didn't know about it until too late, all the metric tools were gone 😕 You call that oil on sale ⁉️ I paid less for 5w40 Delo last week 🙄 I did buy ~$130 in other stuff that's normally infuriatingly expensive "store closeout" and yellow printed...

    It's perfect for oil burning/clattering Hyundai/Kia Theta II engines Total 5w40 wasn't thick enough, but 20w50 is too much for my cold climate 🥶

    88 ramcharger TBI injector connectors?

    O-Rings have shrunk/hardened with age? These injectors look about right? 318 or 360?

    It's $12.95 again, I'm gonna buy some more 👍 It's weird though, some stores it's ~$14, one store was $8.95 I bought 4 It seems good in the oil burning Theta IIs I service At $2.09 per qt OTD, I'll take it

    The Smith System of Defensive driving

    I have to do it at work 😭 The only good thing about it, is that State Farm accepts it as the "safe driving course discount" so I don't have to waste 5 hours of my own life taking the defensive driving class 😔 Safety 🙄

    TPMS Tools?

    First hand experience here ✋ I had a TS508 and a TS900 from Autel, and both can happily identify/read/OBD relearn factory and most aftermarket TPMS sensors The TS900 also does Dill/VDO "Redi Sensors" The only exceptions are the Bluetooth ones that Tesla uses, but I haven't had an issue with...

    2009 xB?

    My twin 🤗 My xB Priced a little high, but it's got more paint on the hood than mine does 😭 If it hasn't been chronically run out of oil (or had the ZE7 LSC rebuild), the engine can be pretty solid Plan on sending the injectors out for a good clean/flow test, and the windshield is of a chip...

    I see what you mean, the closest I can find is the '22 Bronco (non Sport) It's always something 🤷‍♂️ I'll study the TOPDON I was considering a little more closely What did you wind up settling with?

    That's unfortunate to hear, I'll have to give it a try on a '24 Cadillac tomorrow I heard the exact same statement about the TOPDON that I was originally planning on buying Luckily Amazon's return period is generous, I've got till the end of January 😔

    Go big or go home, my annual scan tool purchase This one comes with 3 years worth of updates, so it'll stick around for a while I'm pivoting away from Autel, not a big fan of how they treated me with my KM100 🙄 I'll probably flip my TS900 for decent resale value, it'll work out significantly...

    Throttle body cleaning and molybdenum

    We didn't get there 4A91 in the US, however it's a fairly safe assumption that similar Mitsubishi service methods would apply across the board You could try disconnecting the battery and letting it idle, that might be enough 🤷‍♂️ Good luck 🤞
