Ya I've flushed my vehicles through to Dot4LV. Presently i'm running that Bosch stuff everyone seems to love. My reasoning is because in the winter time it helps mitigate the clutch freezing up. Added benefit is the ABS does seem to cycle a little quicker. Only downside of Dot4(LV) that i'm...

Not trying to thread jack but I guess another question that would be interesting to know is why spec two different oils. Especially when the viscosities are flipped and say a 80w-90 is called for the rear but 75w-140 for the front... I forgot which vehicle it was but I owned one that called for...

I no longer work at GM so I can't access the exact service bulletin but a pf63 is a longer pf64 and aside from dimensionally are interchangeable. The pf48 has a lower bypass pressure and is not considered interchangable although physically all three will screw onto each other's mounts. From the...

Yes, i'm on my second set of Cooper Discover Snow claws. Both studded on a 21 Tacoma 4x4 MT on a cheap set of factory Toyota Tacoma rims. Stock tire size is P265/65R17. First set was P265/70R17. Tire pressures maintained at 32psi empty and 32psi front and between 35-40psi for the rear...

Also forgot to say, when ever you remove drums or rotors, you should be cleaning the rust off of both surfaces until they are shiny and bare. Rust will throw off the runout, as will a loose wheel bearing

I have a 1992 camry also with the 5sfe. 323'000kms. I'm the second owner as of a few months ago and the car also had oil changes every once a year. I inadvertently resealed everything between doing a timing belt and clutch. I borescoped the cylinders when I replaced the factory plugs and there...

Correct, the pcv side is under vacuum to the intake manifold where as the other side is primarily to allow fresh "makeup air" into the crankcase... you'll have to switch the side the PCV is routed in for it to be effective.

That's fair, I've never worked with any refrigeration outside of mobile equipment but in my online researching and talking to an HVAC tech at work here, apparently alot of smaller fridges and freezers for residential use are charged with isobutane. Allegedly the justification is that since it...

Hehe, I've seen the venturi style "vacuum pumps" but never used one. And you're talking automotive, residential/applicances or something else?

First thread and fresh member to the forum, forgive me if I my first post is not up to scruff. PAO 68 A/C oil, I see it's marketed as a universal refrigerant oil... my main questions are how does it run through systems specifically with R134A, R1234YF, R290 and, R600A. I was educated with the...
