    Any of you 1911 guys tell me what happened here?

    Astro, thanks for this information. I have a bare bones Springfield 1911 and am happy to learn how not to abuse the firearm. I am a Browning Hi Power and 1911 fan.

    Pick one car if you had to made it last the rest of your life.

    I am with you there! If one has to suffer with only one car, one may as well drive something fun.

    Cat 1R0750 diesel fuel filter cut open with 10,000 miles

    I never considered heat soak. Interesting theory. The reason I chose Amalgamated, is because of the cleaning, lubricity, cetane and winter anti-wax properties. Every tank gets treated at the 300:1 ratio during winter. My injectors should be well prepared after 60k miles of steady use of clean...

    Wife away on retreat - what shop items to clean in dishwasher

    I would be careful, because I KNOW my wife would find out and respond by using my toothbrush to clean the bathroom sink and perhaps, the toilet.👹

    old washer needs repairs; worth the fix?

    If your old washer has a mechanic switch as opposed to a circuit board, I would be inclined to keep it going by repairing it.

    Harley-Davidson Moving More Production Overseas!

    There’s the answer! The woke European has made poor decisions. Perhaps the board of directors needs to go too?

    FF5814 is it NanoNet media or not!?

    I have noticed some discrepancies with Fleetguard publications. I found similar information while researching oil filters. I am still using Fleetguard products for my Ram Cummins, but I am finding your information on Caterpillar fuel filters to be more descriptive.

    Cat 1R0750 diesel fuel filter cut open with 10,000 miles

    That is interesting. I occasionally get a rough idle too. I have to do some diagnostic work and see how worn the CP3 pump and fuel injectors are by doing the leak-by tests. I have been using a maintenance dose of fuel treatment made by Amalgamated Inc. https://www.amalgamatedinc.com/ for the...

    Cat 1R0750 diesel fuel filter cut open with 10,000 miles

    Thank you for the links, time and research that you put into these posts! I have 212,000 miles on my 2003 Ram and still have the original injectors. I am having difficulty with cold starts now and have had trouble for three winters now. I am okay if I keep the block heater plugged in. I want...

    Cat 1R0750 diesel fuel filter cut open with 10,000 miles

    Hello, what year is your Ram pickup? I have a 2003 Ram. Cummins. My truck has the lift pump in the engine bay and would like to add a similar fuel filter after the lift pump. I have the factory 7 micron fuel filter immediately down stream from the lift pump. I would feel better filtering fuel...

    Bering Air C208 crash

    I used to fly the Caravan myself. Part 135 cargo outfit. I was fortunate to never have more than about 3/8th of an inch of ice accumulation. In training, we were taught that the airplane would not carry very much ice. The training outfit never defined “much” ice, and I thought that child...

    VII shearing - what then?

    I think that is a great question. My understanding is that the VII polymers can produce deposits in the combustion chambers. Some VII’s are better than others. I am still a fan of mono grade oils for that reason. That said, I am using multi grade oils, especially during winter. I am interested...

    If you like your wife’s daughter, don’t let get married to the boyfriend. He has poor judgement.

    2022 Corolla Cross HPL PP 0W-8 30k mi OCI

    I am guessing that my driving profile would not work for a long OCI? Most of my driving is for 10 miles in 20 minutes of average 30 mph, twice a day for 3 days a week. I drive maybe 10K miles a year spread over 3 cars. Does anyone think I could safely use HPL engine oil for extended OCI’s? I...
