Your insurance is more than my mortgage - which includes tax and insurance ...

I always wanted a police crown victoria but they're super rusty and just beat to death. And having all the bodily fluids in the back ... . One thing with police cars is idling kills the pump on the 4R70/5 since they're always engaged. Not like a mopar where the pump doesn't work in park. The...

Correction: I used 15w-50 from Amazon.

Mobil1 15w-50 seems to be popular for Hydrogear hydrostat transmissions. That's what was recommended to put into mine. Does Exmark use a different brand? Seems like a lot of people are pretty happy with a good 15w40 Updated: I used 15w50 not 5w50

I never understood how scrappers make money.

That's how my truck is. It currently doesn't leave more than a drop because most of it is absorbed by the rusty (lots of surface area) crossover pipe. Smokes like crazy when it starts up and the exhaust gets some heat.

99 or 00 is when they switched the spec , IIRC.

Here I am with 0w-20 in my 145,000 2v Ford modular ... The other one would have it too but the whole corroded head leaking thing ...

Cadillac was strong when it was a world standard. Luxury cars. Now they're just awkward shaped, really ugly Lexus wannabes.

I've been looking at more and more electric stuff. As much as I like playing with small engines, I just don't have the time to keep them maintained . And then when I need them, the carb is all gummed up and it won't run. Using batteries , especially if it's an ecosystem I already have is...

If I came across something like that I'd have to pick it up to.o! I already have 2 generators that are >6500W running, but can never have enough. Especially with how much our power goes out.

Most diesel oil is gallon jugs only. Big diesels specify gallons to fill, not quarts.

It's 100% from being short tripped. It can sit a month and be fine. But we've been driving it just around town in a manner where it doesn't charge for more than 3 or 4 minutes. I found the plug, looks like ours does have the easy way to do it. I think I'm going to disconnect it and monitor...

I'd run it in old stuff no problem! 6 gallons of oil for $40 is a good deal

If it's coming through the vents, wouldn't it be an external leak and not consumption?

I've driven around with the meter plugged into my quick disconnect port for the battery maintainer. We never had a battery go flat back then but that was during the 'vid and the car just sat. So I had it plugged into a battery maintainer. Driving around on the throttle, it would drop to low 12s...

I made a quick disconnect battery maintainer for it a few years ago. I'll probably leave it on that over the weekend. Unfortunately the power outlets all shut off with the ignition but I do have a few solar chargers with the same connector as the quick connect battery maintainer.

It's only 9 months old. This is an issue we've had with this car since it. When we first got it , it sat a lot and I can remember the blower slowing down when getting on the gas the blower would slow down. I hooked up a meter to the battery tender leads I have in the cabin and it'll drop down...

Wondering if anyone here has any actual info on it. I keep reading about "depinning" an alternator connector to force it to do normal alternator systems. I have been planning on doing it for a while. Went to drive the car to work today and it would barely crank and not enough to start. Battery...

I put 4.88s in my Jeep and it gets up and moves pretty nice for a 215,000 mile 4.0 turning 35s! The problem I keep having is keeping the driveshafts balanced. They don't like scraping on rocks / logs too much and spinning > 3000 RPM on the highway.
