    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...

    2WD ATV snow tires

    I haven't heard that name since the early days of "Dirt Wheels" and all the articles on the 3-wheelers. Might, will be close. I agree, but just trying to have something other than hitting the gas and digging a hole with no forward movement...lol. Agreed, but that depends on the circumstances...

    Water heater upper element not turning on, is this normal?

    Sorry for the late replies, holidays, family visits from out of town has kept me busy. I'll try to cover all the questions. We did end up with a leak, but I think that came after these rises in KW. Yes, all is dry. I did monitor the lift pump, and that runs only when the tank is at the...

    2WD ATV snow tires

    We have a smaller Grizzly 125 which is 2WD, looking for a good tire for the snow. We have some hills, and I'm thinking the Carlisle Trail Pro isn't the best option. Thinking about the Kenda Bearclaw but curious to what others have had good success with. I want to speculate that some...

    Tesla recalls 2m cars

    Maybe with the sodium ion battery in the works Tesla wants to hold off for now? Just a thought.

    New Carlyle Pressure Brake Bleeder

    I use the Motive pressure bleeder, just get the correct adapter for your vehicle. You can fill it with fluid or just use it for air and fill the brake reservoir. Much cheaper option, comes with a gage and also works great with GM ABS bleed function...

    What are you doing right now?

    Filling pots and buckets for some water reserve just to be safe as our well has a leak between the pitless adapter and the house. My guess is likely a few feet after the pitless. Can hear a light hissing sound when pump is running and the ground is wet about 10' downhill of the well. I can run...

    2015 Impala lug nuts don't fit socket anymore

    Absolutely. Had I ended up with a flat and needed to install the spare on the side of the road with the lug wrench for the vehicle...I would be out of luck.

    2015 Impala lug nuts don't fit socket anymore

    Thanks. I wish McGard would come out with more styles to choose from, namely an OE look. McGard lug nut: OE style lug nut. The McGard has that tapered end and OE is pretty much flush..I like the look of the OE much better, would like to find a set that resembles the OE Will definitely...

    2015 Impala lug nuts don't fit socket anymore

    Lol, ya'll beat me to it. Yes, never seen this happen before but..guess I'm in line for a fresh set of nuts with no more flashy covers. I'll look into the sockets, but the 15/16 will get them off.

    2015 Impala lug nuts don't fit socket anymore

    2015 10th Gen Impala, went to remove the wheels and the socket barely goes over the chrome caps. ?? I've had the car for almost a year but 1st time needing to remove a wheel. Pretty much all the lugs are like this. 22MM, no chance, 7/8" still no go, 15/16 goes over but too loose to use...

    Newly-rebuilt 4L60E lost 3rd gear within 20 miles, sigh...

    I'm sure you covered this but this check ball went back? Also, I don't know it this applies to every 4L60E, but there's a small flat metal plate with three 8MM bolts that secure the separator plate under both shift solenoids. You kinda need to tighten them with the solenoids removed or before...

    Newly-rebuilt 4L60E lost 3rd gear within 20 miles, sigh...

    I don't know if this would even relate to your issue, but I swapped the OE 2nd apply piston for the vette servo in my buddies 4L60E recently. Where these two mount had considerable wear and you could wobble them around quite a bit. The seal was still good but he was having other issues and...
