    Who's never traveled outside of the United States?

    I love to travel. My previous job sent me a lot of placed domestically, but they were environmental remediation projects, so not often beautiful places. I've met some great folks though. My wife is 1st gen American, with Greek parents. Half of her family is in Greece and its just wonderful to...

    Metal in oil housing, help with identification.

    Those look like molding marks from the casting process of the cap. But wow! The glitter is astonishing! Seems way too much for break-in. Maybe just broke?

    5W-30 instead of 10W-30

    Um - those Hondas are pretty much bullet proof. My father (not condoning this) would wait until I serviced his generator (maybe half a dozen times in 20 years) out of guilt. It always ran fine. I used whatever grade and flavor oil I had on hand. We did have to clean the carb a few times due to...

    HPL vs Amsoil ... pricing

    I'm an Amsoil dealer and have used it exclusively in my wife's car and my equipment for years. My daily drivers end up getting whatever I feel like at the time. I dabble with other stuff, but that's because I maintain so many engines, I have a lot of opportunity to experiment. A benefit to me...

    Wife's assessment when the Wife dies before the Husband

    I'm the primary "chore" person in the house, so cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. is no stretch for me. And I like my alone time. So with that said, I should be able to shoulder being alone if something happens to my wife. But I doubt that will be the case. When she is gone for a race or...

    Parenting concerns

    While this issue is going to affect the relationship you have with his mom, the kid is not going to respond to her like he will from his father, even if you convince her to say something. The real impact will come from his father. I feel like we learn to be men from our Dad.

    HELP!! Need something/someone to help organize my home shop

    I'm in a similar situation. My oversized two car garage gets absolutely packed, not to mention, I keep my Kubota tractor and wife's VW in there. I'm in a constant state of "Well, if I only XXX, then I could clean that area up. Keep at it. Try a few things and keep working. My next attempt is...

    Thoughts on a new Tahoe

    A solid axle from a Jeep with some Death Wobble will round out that package nicely! Maybe a Nissan CVT just for fun?

    Whats so great about Jeeps?

    Dumb question from a guy who never owned a Jeep: Is the electronics in modern Jeeps water resistant enough to be caught in the rain with the top off?

    Off-duty police chief in PA suspended after pulling gun on motorcyclist

    I usually come to defend the police because it is a very difficult job. Not the guns out stuff, but the day-in, day-out emotional babysitting they do. However I didn't read the report and gave the Chief too much credit. My fault for not reading, Chief's fault for being a lying sack o crap.

    Are magnets for an oil filter and a magnetic drain plug a waste of money?

    My sentiment as well. Different applications, but I like having a magnetic drain plug. Sort of a quick condition assessment too. If I see a change in the drain plug catch, I know I should open the filter and take a peak.

    49k miles trans fluid exchange on a GM 10L80

    Doesn't look bad but doesn't great either. I think you got your miles out of the fluid, but it was time to change.

    Amsoil Euro 5w-40

    Well he states "their" so I think he's comparing to the other Amsoil Euro oils which are 5w-30 and 0w-30. Short answer - I don't know. As others state, I think its the approvals. the 5w-40 and the 0/5w-30's cover many of the same approvals but not all. I know for a fact the 30 weights have the...

    Off-duty police chief in PA suspended after pulling gun on motorcyclist

    As usual, the reported story is missing something. No idea, but maybe the rider flashed a gun or other weapon. You've got to wonder why a Chief of Police would draw his weapon knowing that security cameras would see it. I mean, we all have been on camera now for a while (traffic, security, You...

    Battery dead on kubota L2501

    Definitely get the 3rd function wired to the key-on power source. But also, the Kubota batteries aren't great. My L2501 is bit older (2017), but the second winter my battery didn't have the power to heat the glow plugs and crank the engine. I could do one or the other, not both. In 10 degree...

    Rusty Mercedes SUV

    Woah! That bad even for here! Bet it spends a lot of time near seawater. Coastal town beach house? Kids thought it would be cool to drive it on the beach?
