That's really strange. I worked at a Dunkin during high school. I can understand why a franchise such as Starbucks or McDonalds would create rules like this, we had some sketchy characters who would "hang out" in our lobby for hours. It seemed to always be older men by themselves who would...

Nothing special about them.

Could be piston slap too, but if it wasn't maintained it could definitely be lifter tick, which will only really get better with good maintenance and oil changes and running it. I wouldn't do any flushes, run good oil, and do short changes like 3k miles, then it will clean up on its own. I had...

Is the check engine light on? Any other error codes? The remote start is disabled if there are other problems like stated in the post above, so that's where I would start.

My '98 4.0L seems happiest with a HM 5w30. Valvoline MaxLife 5w30 synthetic is what I'm currently running and seems to be the quietest for cold starts. So if it was mine that's what I would run and change it 3k miles a few times to "clean it out" then 5k after that and I think you should be...

I sell a lot of things on Marketplace. The "is it still available" auto-replies I just delete. My feeling is that if they want it bad enough they will write an actual reply. It's annoying, but Marketplace has the most traffic over any of the other platforms.

+1 I always clear around the mailbox so they can get to it when I do the driveway. I'm sure the "new" policy is due to a few drivers getting stuck and requiring a tow. My mail lady told me a story last time I saw her about how she got stuck at the end of someone's driveway delivering a...

+1 My Toro 721R almost propels itself a little too quickly. I've had a few run-ins with the bushes next to my sidewalk and sucked in a few strands of Christmas lights. :LOL:

I usually have good luck going to Partstree.com based off the serial number and model of the engine and finding the part numbers for the stuff inside the carb. Honda doesn't seem to sell "kits" that I can find. I usually just search the part numbers for OEM parts for the needle valve and the...

It can't hurt anything and pulling the valve cover can give you a good idea of how clean the engine is. You don't even really have to mess with them unless they are out of spec. I did the valves on my mom's 2011 Fit right at 100k miles, and most were still within spec. It was good to know the...

I did the change on my dad's 2020 GC 5.7L/ZF8 at 60k miles with MaxLife ATF. It has over 80k on it now and still shifting nice and smooth. I'll probably do the same thing when my 2019 hits 60k.

I have a few red and green ones. Both 1/16 and 1/64. They are mainly desk pieces now, although I played with them as a kid.

In the words of Youtuber Taryl Fixes All "It's a lawnmower not the space shuttle". I use Right Stuff RTV all the time. As far as crankshaft end play, I agree that it's important, but I've also had three visibly different sump gaskets in front of me for the same engine with the same OEM part...

There are plusses and minuses. I love my Toro 721R. Gobs of torque for a single stage and like you said it cleans right down to the pavement. For anything less than say 8" it works great, especially with slush. For deeper snow it can be a bit of a pain if you have to do a larger area.

It's a tool like anything else. How you use it determines if it helps or hurts you. I've certainly learned a lot about repairing things myself through Youtube and the internet that I wouldn't have otherwise, and have also met people through social media that I would not have either, both good...

It might be worth a shot to go to a local exhaust shop and see if they can weld in a universal Walker Quiet flow muffler or something. I've seen them do some creative stuff with a pipe bender.

With the way divorce courts are it is even more important to wait. My grandparents got married at 18, so for me to be single at 34 is a shock to them. :LOL: Times were different though.

If I didn't need to tow a significant amount occasionally, a used X3 was going to be my next vehicle. The new ones are strange looking, and the larger BMWs with better tow ratings didn't interest me.

I've seen this as well, and in that case, bullet dodged. On to the next one. ;)

I was just thinking "are they even still in the US?". :LOL:
