    Gas Water Heater Replacement

    After my research recently I did not want a Bradford White. I opted instead for the Rheem/with an expansion tank. I relaced my existing water heater at the 7 year mark-looking at the average for water life expectancy in my area. Good to be proactive.

    oil recommendation for GM 5.3L trucks

    I tow up 9,000 foot mountain passes in 90 degree heat with my 2023 Silverado-5.3. The manual calls for 0W/20. That's what it gets.

    EPA possibly goes after the Start/Stop System!

    Let's be clear. Can you move your foot from the brake to the gas peddle before the motor starts? If so- what vehicle?

    Yes-but it's a very refined system.

    EPA possibly goes after the Start/Stop System!

    The start/stop in my wife's Volvo (2022 XC60) is a system that is as near seamless and non intrusive as can be. It's ultra smooth-not in the slightest bit noisy and cycles very, very, quick. ------------------------------- Putting to bed another stereotype here on this forum.

    Please recommend a Toyota dealer for its service department in north LA area in California

    90% of the vehicles in So. Cal fall under severe service and if it's synthetic oil you use....it's a "money flush". JMHO-as someone who has spent 1 million miles on the So. Cal freeways. Never had a car blow up-or break down.

    EPA possibly goes after the Start/Stop System!

    There is no delay. You cant physically move your foot from the brake to the gas pedal before the motor starts. Also-the start from a red light-is not a dry start, the starters are not conventional starters. In short-both your reasons are not true. I don't post YouTube videos. But there are...

    EPA possibly goes after the Start/Stop System!

    There are always "reports". But they are not widespread. And we don't know the circumstances around the owner's care of said vehicle. And yes-some manufacturers do a much better job at S/S than others. One just cannot argue that it doesn't save fuel-because it does. And yes those savings will...

    EPA possibly goes after the Start/Stop System!

    The start/stop has been around in the F150 for ten years. There are not reports of starters/motor mounts, etc., going out in any large numbers. Do they need a more robust battery? Sure. Start/Stop saves fuel. It's basic physics.

    Kumbaya! I mean why should there mandated things? Like pollution control? And safety features? It just adds cost! Who needs ABS, energy absorbing bumpers, collapsible steering columns, Safety Glass! - I mean really! Bring back the 1960s................

    T Mobil

    Just traveled to 10 countries. Italy, Greece, Egypt, Turkey, Crete, etc. T-Mobile is absolutely great if you travel. Coverage in the U.S. is far superior to any other carrier as well.

    Did the band l/act Kiss have hit? Article states they did

    The third single from the band's Billion Dollar Babies album was also its third highest-charting effort, reaching number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 behind only "School's Out" (number seven) and "I'm Eighteen" (number 21). It also helped power the album to the top of the Billboard 200 chart for...

    Keep your eye on Xfinity/Comcast internet

    I'm no fan of Xfinity/Comcast. With that said the recent price increases were all over the web when they were going to do this. Hope that the cancelling procedure with those streaming services is as easy as when they are a stand-alone service. I have pulled every service I could from Xfinity...
