    What good store brand alternator

    I'll never use another DB electrical. It died when I had no shoes on about 2 miles from home. Then they denied my warranty. Never again

    Universal HVAC Capacitor

    China caps have been dying right around 1 year for my unit. I installed the USA AmRad last year. They usually die in July/August when the condenser is in direct hot sun. I had it fixed 2x by a contractor before figuring out how to do it myself. Their response was "new parts are junk" when I...

    How do we feel about the Bosch QuietCast pads?

    Used 1 time. Dusty and squeaky but stopped well. Got rid of them about 1/2 through their life.

    Coolant hoses for oil cooler... change interval?

    Just had the plastic connector to the heater hose break on my 01 F150. It appeared to be leaking due to some corrosion, gave it a wiggle and snapped. Pretty lucky it was in the garage. It was probably stressed from the intake change a few years ago. Other side looked miserable to get to and no...

    Has Amazon (silently?) changed return refund policy?

    You have to keep on them. Don't take no for an answer. If I pay for something, I want that item and undamaged. If its delivered to some random house, Im not going to investigate. I've had that too. They show a picture and its not my house.

    What are you working on today?

    Did a valve clearance adjustment on my sons 02 CRV. 158k miles. Didn't know if it was ever done. It must have been done at some point. None were really far out of adjustment. Went ahead and adjusted them to all match since I was there. Fired it up and took a test drive, noticed no difference...
