I'm headed to my local W-M for tire installation in about 20 minutes. Have purchased six or seven sets of tires via their website over the past few years, and have never had a problem or overly lengthy installation time. My particular store is quite efficient...and you can't beat their prices...

My wife and I are very simple folks as well and just went with a brand-new GE coil-top range. Yes...the sensi-temp burners are now mandated to protect people from themselves; however, they are easily replaced by 1) bypassing the sensors below the cooktop, or 2) simply replacing the coils with...

RA always recommends add-on sales for almost everything in your cart. Unless they're brittle or falling apart, there's no reason to change them.

Your hand dyno (and eyeballs) are likely just fine. I still have the OE spring-style clamps on my '05 Caravan and '08 Charger. They're no worse for wear after many years and miles.

The pic isn't the clearest, but that looks like a fish wire for a bolt. Some trailer hitch/accessory kits come with wires like this that allow you to thread a bolt into the curled end and use the wire to pull the bolt through the frame into a desired position. Not 100%, but have used similar...

Thank you! This is a winner of an idea...exactly the simple solution I was looking for. Really appreciate the schematic as well. I'll post a pic when I get it done.

There's an awful lot of discussion regarding the need to check codes. For the last 20 or more I've registered every single tire I've purchased on the manufacturers' websites. You enter the DOT codes (which have always been provided by the installer) and place of purchase on the site with your...

If so, why bother with impact? In almost 40 years of wrenching I've never once used an impact wrench on lug nuts. Four-way lug wrench with wheel on the ground has always been adequate. In rare cases I've had to whip out a breaker bar. Wheels (and even lug nuts) are too pretty and fragile...

Just finished installing a pergola kit on my (smallish) back patio. I used a 4x4 kit from Amazon to create a perfectly square frame, which is roughly 7x11 and about 8 feet high. While I was originally going to add a "traditional" pergola-type roof, I now want to add a closed roof for sun and...

You're really overthinking this. All you need after cleanup is a tube of automotive seam sealer.

Awesome! I've always supported some form of corporal punishment for people who use such vernacular. As this is a car site, can we also address automotive babble? Things like "I need tires for my 2015 Chally." Just say Challenger for Pete's sake! Or how about the fact everyone's car has...

I've experienced lots of 100-degree days while stationed at Mountain Home AFB in Idaho (high desert) and at Ellsworth AFB in SD. It's this thing called summer.

There are used parts available...

First, the refrigerant lines coming off the compressor are suction and discharge lines. The suction line carries low pressure gas from the evaporator to the compressor (sometimes through an accumulator). The discharge line carries high pressure gas between the compressor and condenser...

Sad, but 100% correct. Reminds me of a gentleman who currently resides in Washington D.C.

OK, I'll be the dissenting voice. This is a form of elder abuse (self-induced). While I grew up listening to many of the greats, there should be a time for these guys to wheel off to the retirement home. Most simply cannot hit the notes or handle the rigors of a live show...and that's OK. I...

The subject (performance & handling) is plural; the correct answer is "aren't." In addition, as long as you posed a grammar question, writers should try to stay away from passive voice, e.g., "...of the Civic." I know it's become somewhat ubiquitous these days, but it's considered "low...

Did you properly bed the new pads per the manufacturer's instructions? New pads - especially ceramics - should be thoroughly bedded in prior to normal operation. This process effectively mates the pads and rotors through a series of hard brake applications (without actually coming to a stop)...

Rotation with every oil change, which generally falls between 6-7K miles.

Whaat? My youngest car is 16 years old and barely broken in. A 10-15 year lifespan would be a total rip-off! A conspiracy theorist might posit there's some kind of planned obsolescence in today's cars...
