It'd be helpful if you mention your location as Rural King has been expanding. I was there last weekend (Elizabethtown, KY) and they still have the same hodgepodge of filters (Fram, Prime Guard, AC Delco, Motorcraft, some ag stuff (Hastings/Baldwin/Filterfleet?), all overpriced and not...

You guys are onto something. I drove it to work today and was able to recreate the sound, it seems to happen under load (lower RPM) going up a hill. If I placed it into 4-HI, the noise disappeared immediately and I was able to recreate that several times. I've read there's a check valve and...

Co-worker brought his truck to me to help him with an intermittent squeeling/screeching noise. A friend of his replaced accessory belt components, the usual suspects-- all idlers, tensioner assembly, belt and yet the noise persists. Said friend condemned the power steering pump, but can't...

I found this with some Googling on an audio forum: "A consumer audio output or input, has an unbalanced connection and is usually in the form of an RCA. It does not matter how much actual voltage measures, It will always be a consumer audio output. Any consumer audio output, regardless of what...

I'm no stranger to setting up sound systems, but realize this is a 30x50 garage/shop where my primary concern is not sound quality, which isn't a particularly big issue with subs anyway. Subs will be the same, just the amps will be different. The Sony receiver outputs 2V @ the sub pre-out...

I have a Sony 5.1 receiver (STR-DE985) that I need to hook up to subwoofer(s) via a power amp. The receiver has a subwoofer pre-out w/ the requisite low pass filter. It's currently connected to a Carver WCA-400 power amp (400W @ 8 ohm bridged) which is in turn connected to a 12" sub. That has...

Mullvad. Good privacy, servers all over the world. Price is great for what you get.

I'm closing in on a month of ownership, zero complaints. I'm shocked how good a commuting car this is, I actually look forward to driving. For this application, I don't miss my old ICE vehicle a bit. Enough storage for errands and plenty comfortable as long as you don't need to stuff 4 or 5...

I'm about to test this on my newly purchased (used) EV. It came with a new set of tires, cheapest thing the dealer could put on (as usual), Advanta HPZ-02, a standard UHP tire with no explicit EV credentials. Cost on Tirerack is 112$ each, that is ridiculously cheap for a 20" tire; made in...

Going from 87 to 93 here is about $1.00 difference. Occasionally I'll stumble upon one that is closer to $0.60-0.80 more but that is rare and doesn't usually last long.

I got one of these also in Fram orange. Only complaint is that that recessed thread/plate takes up what could have been used as filter area. Paid premium bucks for a PH8170 "mower filter" when I could have used an ordinary 3/4" thread car filter (PH3614) for a third the price. You never know...

Definitely will!

Very good points. But here's where the two diverge: There's no easy way to prolong the life of a power tool battery, unless you take the time to do it manually. That means keeping the SOC between 20-80% which is best practice for nearly all Li-Ion chemistries. This won't apply to folks using...

That's a bargain IMO. The mods on in has me questioning whether it's off-lease or a repo.

To say blown away would be an understatement. My only complaint is the learning curve. After completing the sale, the wife and I probably looked like idiots trying to figure out the "card tap" to turn it on just to drive home. We've now completed the transfer fully (through Tesla) and now...

I don't think there's any need for mall queen lumbering pickups & giant SUVs as a daily driver. To each their own. As long as you don't break the law, why not have a car that can be fun? If towering over others is your thing, all the power to you.

Went ahead and pulled the trigger. This particular one seems very well cared for. The dealer was unconventional, it was a specialty car dealer with an indoor climate controlled showroom. He had everything from unusual $200K+ exotics, classics & hotrods, down to unique affordable vehicles such...

For leaks perhaps? I have a lift and if people paid me to put their used IC vehicle up for inspection, I still can't tell them what's going on inside the timing cover, which is where a lot of the complexity and failures happen (often design flaws). Nor can I tell them what kind of wear is...

Do you know all the variables when you buy an IC powered car, especially one performance oriented? 7 year old car, usually well onto the second-third owner. The way they build IC engines these days, their complexity and often using plastic and cheap components, can you be sure said engine...

I disagree with this. We're not talking about power tool batteries. That's a cheap consumer commodity that cost the mfg <$10 to make with a few 18650 cells. Now each brand has an enhanced "PRO-XP," ad nauseam version which has 21700 cells thrown in (thank Tesla for that). They don't care if...
