OK, its been a few years since I bought one. This is the one I ordered for the Mazda. $8 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DDJNP5TV/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A21MKXF2CF9XYO&th=1

Well my transmission and rear diff both have magnets in them from the factory, 1 a Dodge and 1 a Ford. The Dodge came with a magnetic oil drain plug but not the Ford. I put one in the Ford and am going to put 1 in the Mazda next oil change. If it can pick up iron particles small enough to slip...

For trips I bought a portable lithium jump pack. Even a good battery can just die for no apparent reason or the lights get left on. I feel more secure in isolated areas knowing I can jump the car and get to a Walmart or some auto parts store for a new battery if needed but dont feel pressure to...

I keep looking at these. Generally I like target 22 pistols but for some reason these little TX22's have gotten my attention. Maybe its the higher mag capacity or the fact it looks like it would be a good trainer in place of the 9mm as the target pistols dont share the same ergonomics or trigger...

This is all very interesting as I just bought a new Mazda CX-5 with the NA 2.5l. I live in the country and the main road has a 55 mph speed limit but it is full of curves and hills. I noticed that when slowing for a curve with a hill following the car wants to stay locked in 6th gear doing 1300...

A couple questions, where is the incoming power. Are you tapping the light for power. Where did the wires come from that appeared in the center knockout (looks like they came out of the wall). What set of wires are going to the switch. The way the far left tap is ganged it looks like incoming...

The Marine grease is calcium sulfonate and it is compatible with the lithium based grease like Red and Tacky. You would be OK to use the Traveler marine grease in the bike trailer but because you dont know what grease the boat trailer maker used I would not go the other way. Not all marine...

10 miles is pretty fast but I know my diesel tractor turns fresh oil black in the first 10 hrs.

I have not spent much time in Wyoming but I have witnessed everything he is talking about. I like the independent attitude but the wind and cold are a non starter for me. If you have not experienced 30-40 mph winds for days on end I can tell you it gets old real fast. Just having your car or...

This is the thing that scares me the most about new vehicles. I just grudgingly bought a 25 CX-5. I like the car but the tech worries me. I spent enough time as an Engineer in the medical imaging field to realize that when you have multiple computers running separate software and all of them...

What ever you use just make sure it has dried before you reconnect the plug. Many years ago I cleaned the edge contacts and socket of a PC ckt board with a supposed plastic safe electronics cleaner. I was a little too fast plugging it back in. Several month later the board was glued into the...

Have you tried disconnecting the 3rd function wire from the battery and measuring again. It wont restore the battery but if you see the voltage starting to creep up with the wire off it means that ckt is putting a small load on the battery. Thats not good for any vehicle but its extra bad on a...

I was under the impression that ATF was designed to lube, cool and prompt smooth lockup of the clutch packs without grab or chatter. CVT fluid is suppose to promote a much more aggressive, higher friction fluid to prevent the CVT from slipping.

Great job, and not to change the subject just wander a little, can someone explain how 1 fluid can be used in an Automatic and a CVT. I was under the impression that the fluid had opposite jobs in each of these. 1 to slip and 1 to grab.

This was a bad spring for me. Started the tractor to remove the FEL and install the belly mower and spot a hydraulic leak from 1 of the hoses. $72 later put hose on, install belly mower and half way through the back yard start hearing a loud squeak, Right side deck spindle is to hot to touch...

The worst that could happen is the belt fly's off the pulley and wraps around the spindles and jams the whole deck up or gets caught in the main drive belt and pulls that off its pulley. Flip the spring and put grease on the hook to slow the wear and order a new spring. Welding or heating the...

I am just seeing 9 sec of black screen.

You just never know when it will come in handy. I would make sure it starts and runs, go through the breakin and then drain the tank and carb bowl and fog the cylinder, put it away and cover it and with any luck you will forget its even there. But when you need one nothing else will do.

I had the same problem. The gate posts went first then about 3 or 4 posts would break every year after that. They were all set in concrete and I cursed the installer everytime I had to dig one out, and now refuse to put a post in concrete. It may not stop them from rotting but they are a lot...

When I changed the battery in my Fiesta the same 2 lights came on but they went out by the time I got to the end of the driveway and have not come back, that was 2 years ago.
