    Chevrolet rant

    Does "severe" fall under the stop and go city driving, short trips, etc? Not necessarily hauling heavy loads. @rainman49 I would absolutely let the dealer service the trans much sooner than later. Get everything documented now, who you talk to, what they say, time of call etc. Heck, if you...

    Is Dexos 2 safe in a 2012 Denali 6.2

    You are correct, I misspoke. I had it in my head back in the day that the Gen 4 LS 6.2 is a variant of the LS3. May or may not, but proper term is Gen 4 LS.

    Is Dexos 2 safe in a 2012 Denali 6.2

    Curious if a 5w-30 Euro Dex 2 is safe to use in a Dex 1 LS3 6.2 with AFM, motor has 130K Was thinking on the Penzoil Euro L 5W-30. Nothing wrong with engine, just toying with options. Motor loves Redline, but curious to other slightly "heavier" oils with higher HTHS. (edited)

    My VW sacrificed itself to save me/daughter yesterday

    So glad to hear everyone will be ok, wow....having new drivers myself...that has to be tough to get out of your system. Hope for a speedy recovery.

    Favorite Movie Cars Thread.

    This guy did an incredible job at recreating the "Wraith" Dodge PPV pace car. One of my favorite movie cars growing up. I wish the exhaust was a bit more muffled.

    2WD ATV snow tires

    I found a pair of Wanda P308's that mimic the "Wooly Booger" tread style. We had about 4" to mess around in and they performed very well, much higher than my expectations.

    Can I use a cable lug crimper for air compressor fittings?

    Meant to say the application is for a 5/8" OD air compressor hose with a barbed fitting. Safe bet the hose crimper gets the meat of the hose down in the valleys of the barbed fitting. My thinking is if a hose clamps works, then maybe a brass ferrule with a hex crimp might also?

    Electric pressure washer decision

    Thx, and yeah, I was going to get the Ryobi over the Sunjoe or even the Portland from HF, for the price it makes sense, next in line was the Karcher 1700. I opted for more flow for the undercarriage sprayer and it is roughly .5gal/min more flow. The price difference gave me pause for sure with...

    1990 Buick tail lights stay on

    Yeah, I want to think that as well. Hoping it's the brake lights with a burned out 3rd light giving the illusion it's the tail lights. Otherwise it could be a deep dive.

    18-wheeler had its trailer lights off on the highway at night

    Old thread, but the trailer uses a 7-pin connector for the lights from the tractor. The tractor could have it's lights working and the trailer could have a bad pin or pin socket in the light cord. Brake lights, turn signals and running lights all have seperate pins. Might be fine when hooked...

    1990 Buick tail lights stay on

    That's what I'm thinking as well...if the 3rd brake light is out, it would give the indication of taillights albeit bright.

    Fluke meter recommendations

    Late reply but I bought an 89-IV close to 20 years ago. Still works like new, and I use the logging function alot. You can graph 24hr events and makes it helpful for troubleshooting. I believe the 289 is the current successor, pricey but these meters are worth their price.

    1990 Buick tail lights stay on

    Maybe your 3rd brake light is out and it looks like the taillights would be on? Wouldn't that control the front parking lights as well? I don't know, just asking.

    Can I use a cable lug crimper for air compressor fittings?

    I have a Temco TH0005 hydraulic hex die crimper and was wondering if it can be used as a brass ferrule crimping tool for air compressor fittings. This is the tool and dies it uses. I've seen ferrule dies that are similar but unsure if they would fit. Could I use a hex crimp on an brass...

    1990 Buick tail lights stay on

    I know you said tail lights, but check the brake lights. Why would the tail lights be on and not the headlights is my question. I believe there will be a switch on the brake pedal. The switches are generally very sensitive and take only a small amount of travel to activate. Might just need...

    Electric pressure washer decision

    Thanks, I did add that to my research list, looks like a nice unit. Thanks, I did look at that....much appreciated. Yeah, that's my dilemma. I can buy something from $90 at HF on up-to the Active 2.0, including the Active VE-52/56 for $200. The bad is they are all disposable, but for the 3...

    Electric pressure washer decision

    I'm debating the SunJoe SPX3000 or the Active 2.0. I know the Active is much, much more capable than the SunJoe, but I'm only needing it for spraying off vehicles, undercarriage, muddy ATV, and maybe some dusty film from the siding around the porch, very light dirt and dust. Won't be used for...

    Looking for new air impact wrench

    I absolutely understand that. I do keep my air gun around the house, but slapping on a battery and removing anything I need is sweet. The hardest part would be deciding which platform. DeWalt has more going for it, Milwaukee is solid and built well. I went with DeWalt for the cutoff tool (...

    Looking for new air impact wrench

    I bought my Dewalt 899 about 2 months before the 900 came out....grrr. FWIW, I haven't used my air impact since I acquired the DeWalt 20V 1/2" impact. The 20V accessory list is plentiful and a good rabbit hole...same for the M18 Fuel.

    In the hunt for a good, reliable, used 4x4 ATV.

    Revisiting this thread, been on a hiatus but back in the hunt. I agree my initial price cap is a far-fetched idea for a decent machine. I have been looking at IRS than a solid rear axle but not a deal breaker. I keep coming back to the Grizzly 450 for it's IRS and size, not too big for trails...
