    Aftermarket parts vs. OEM parts marketing

    It really depends. Working for auto suppliers for much of my life I found that the OEM Manufacturers made component price a major consideration in choosing a supplier. Very few people think OE shocks for example are superior to a brand like Koni or Bilstein for just one example. Same with...

    Antifreeze recycling

    That link was helpful (I think) I live near where three counties meet and none of them accept it. If I go to one past that, they do collect it a few times a month, but says limited to county residents only. I suppose I'll have to make the 40 mile trip and hope they don't make me prove it.

    Antifreeze recycling

    I have been finding it impossible to find anyone who will take a few gallons of used antifreeze locally. I have looked at recycling websites and while some list places, when I call them they tell me they don't take it and don't know how they got on the list. All I have been able to do is wait...

    Mann C 35 154 vs Mann C 35 154/1

    I believe the pre-filter is designed to prevent snow from getting into the filter pleats. That's why they say cold weather.

    Best value/quality digital caliper?

    Beware of K&N and AEM, now part of K&N!

    It has been a few years, but I called K&N about a 9 yr old chrome open element filter on my vintage car that was showing signs of rust on the lid. They told me, with no hesitation, that under the lifetime warranty, they would send me a new one at no cost. They just asked that I throw the old...

    Craftsman 2 1/4 ton trolley jack missing plug

    I have a really hard time finding any replacement parts for Sears products. If you can find the part number, hopefully it will cross reference to something else. If that doesn't pan out, you might get lucky and find out who made it for Sears and go that route. That might be pretty hard to...
