    New tire needed for 5-10K miles--how important is it to match?

    As long as it's not AWD, it won't hurt anything to run mismatched tires.

    Manual transmission used daily

    You're going to have a hard time finding a modern manual transmission that doesn't rev hang - you can thank the EPA for that.

    The used car market is tough. I need to change my approach.

    I ended up buying my Grand Marquis from some sketchy little side of the road "dealer". Everyone I'd contact trying to buy a car wouldn't respond or it would sell. Even if I said I'll show up with cash and a trailer to take it right away.

    Brake lines for a old truck?

    I could never get a good flare out of steel line. I did all the lines in my Jeep in the fall using nicop and it was great!

    MMO as Jack Oil?

    I have some last minute shed leveling first thing tomorrow morning and decided to pull some of the smaller jacks from my jack fleet out. Unfortunately, 3 of the 6 smaller ones didn't work. One did nothing, two went up a little. The one that did nothing was completely empty and the other two...

    Honda HRN216 GCV170 autochoke issues

    I had a heck of a time with a GCV190 on my push mower. It wouldn't close the choke when cold. Changed out the thermowax and it worked slightly better but still didn't fully work right. So for a year, I'd just manually actuate the choke. last year, for some reason, it just started working 🤷‍♂️

    Intermittent Torque Converter Lock Up -1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ - AW4

    There was a time when you could pick up a beater Cherokee here for $500. So we had one as an offroad club loaner. I was borrowing it on a mud run and beating the snot out of the thing. Foot to the floor jamming drive and reverse without letting up. The transmission cooler line ripped off and in...

    Intermittent Torque Converter Lock Up -1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ - AW4

    I am generally a purist. But I also know, first hand , that you can put the below in one of these transmissions without hurting it. Maybe not straight , but a mixture or concoction in an emergency. - Random ATF -Motor oil -Gear oil ( pump whines) - PS fluid - brake fluid ( small amount)

    When to do first ATF drain/fill?

    I'm all about super early drain on transmissions / differentials. Then if you want to go factory interval, do it. The fluid in our Sentra was awful when I changed it around 15K the first time, and it was much better the second time when I did it at 31K.

    New Trader Joe’s opens across the street from existing location. Both staying open.

    The Trader Joe's here has been PACKED since it opened in 2014. To the point that I've never been able to park there. Always have to park at the store next door I have no doubt they could open a second location a few miles away and still be busy.
