Lots of good and bad info in this thread so my $.02. Waxes are for NON O-Ring chains (Think Dirt Bikes). Sprayed on the carrier volotiles boil off leaving behind a dry seal around the link plates to block grit from entering the pins/bushings. Grit that enters the wax gets trapped and sloughs...

Used to love my old mushy spring box and mattress growing up. Latest is 14" tempur + added a 4" costco memory topper on it ...like sleeping on a marshmallow cloud. Topper is important to maximize contact surface area and dispersing pressure points.

What i am saying is put in something that extends safety margin and doing no harm. You wont have to worry you come up short on viscosity next time the windmills freeze and the lights go out. A genny needs to be as bullitproof as it is an emergency device when primary power fails. Splitting hairs...

Remember that a non pressureized splasher oil system will shear the oils much faster grinding it up in the bearings. The diesel and heavier non "energy conserving" oils also have a dose of moly that the bearings will love. M1 15-50 last i checked has ~1200ppm moly. the 5w-xx has minimal.

...THEY are investing billions because at some point THEY will no longer ALLOW YOU a choice. Economics will not be a part of this equation. You will pay the price for E transportation or you will CHOOSE to ride a bike or walk.

M1 15-50 in my Generac ...Risking a blown motor for negligable lower temp of thinner oil is folly.

I used to park side of the road at runways end in St Clair shores MI AFB. the F16's would come right at you then vertical at the fence and loop over the top inverted then slowly roll over going away toward Grayling. fantastic seeing them closeup.

Dawn dish soap and a damp microfiber will take off things many other specialized cleaners would not. It really is that simple.

all was missing was a bit of rolling coal :)

Wife got some "hells kitchen" branded knives and they cut steak like butter. A non serrated blade you should run against steel regularly to keep an edge.

With the EZ Lube axle Ive also read that if you pump in the grease cold it can blow out the back spindle seal and contaminate the brakes. Its best to slowly pump grease in while still hot from travel.

ACO ...used to be called ACE hardware

Ive had GDI injectors get "Sticky". Started putting a bottle of PEA in at each oil change to keep them clean. no problems since.

To add on to what GON cherry was saying, heat is the enemy and under inflated tires will create more heat in the tire than inflating to max for a given load. Inflating to max is within manfacturers spec and where a good tire will safely carry the most weight. Not inflating to max with a heavy...

The the outdoor rated green ext cords and outlets should be in stores for holidays. your local ACO carries them year round give them some business.

This reminds me of another hair brained scheme in MI quite some years ago. They mounted a bunch of S shaped tiny windmills on the median barrier. Idea was to capture the wind from the cars passing both directions to spin the tiny electric "Generators" and patch it to the grid. The logistics of...

This would work until such time we can invent and install the Mr. Fusion devices.

...this is a massive money pothole! Inductive charging a phone is very inefficient you can feel that when you pick up the phone and it is hot. Doing so on a roadway is the dumbest idea ever. I might go for solar panels in the roof or small genset in the trunk but inductive charging in the...

Will be interesting to see if an entrepreneur makes a refit pkg that bolts these into older cars or other vehicles. Seeding a new era of consumer E-Rodding is a vector GM could use to assault the proprietary death grip Tesla maintains on its product. Going mainstream would gain market share...

Ive found that rotors usually go 2 sets of brake pads before needing replacement. IF they arent damaged or too thin from hard usage. IMO Those look like you modulate the brakes well and do not abuse. take one to AZ and have them check it.
