    Rotella T6 / JASO MA

    It has been my understanding for a long time anything not having "Energy Conserving" is ok for wet clutch. I put M1 15-50 in all cycles, atv's and UTV's no clutch issues under high HP conditions.

    Hands Free Driving When Towing

    I saw this was available on a Cadillac a while back. If it is similar then there is a camera on the dash that watches you to see your eyes are looking forward and "Paying attention". Even if not towing i could see the system being more aggravating then just driving myself. ...Until a human takes...

    Method to fill umbrella stands with sand

    +1 add water to the bucket and pour the slurry into your funnel. I wouldn't fill it 100% with sand unless you're sure it'll never need to be moved :cautious:

    Do two chain quick links double the working load?

    Sounds like you have 2 shorter chains and need 1 longer so the quick link is needed? Cut open a link from an end, connect the 2 shorter ones and have a local welder close the link.

    Wells Fargo stops all lines of personel credit....

    Been with WF since they swallowed up Wachovia with no issue. IMO it is a smart move and should be read like tea leaves. They are limiting exposure in a market flooded with cheap/free money, overheating real estate and a lit fuse on an inflation bomb. If that isn't enough it is now OK for a...

    Maybe some good will come out of it...

    What is backyard bob gonna fix on an EV? ...maybe kill himself playing battery tech? Hotrod the motor-vator for a few extra E-Ponies? Upgrade the control panel so Netflix can play while driving? Display on a phone is a different story but beyond that the integration level is getting so high that...

    Coleman 15hp down on power..

    +1 carb kit. I have seen old gasoline change the tolerances on brass jets, needles and emulsion tubes. check compression, If compression is good all that's left is fuel and spark.

    Clutch wear

    You don't want to do that often. Go to a parking lot and practice backing up. once you get good at it youll be able to setup the approach properly then reverse without clutching using mirrors. For some the easiest way to backup a trailer is to put hand on bottom of steering wheel ...its a thing...

    New truck tires?

    I have the load E LTX M/S and the michies are just good tires. the high pressure tires have less rolling resistance so better mpg. I keep mine ~45psi for daily driving and pump up as needed to haul or tow. the chunky knobby tires if youre gonna go there or if you're going for a tough look but...

    Gaming computer DIY questions

    whatever method to hold it on should be within its design specs and good enough. Just put it on and assemble. the thing not to do is monkey with it after you do the burn in. the thin layer of paste on the heat sync is only there to fill in microgaps between the rough or uneven metal surfaces.

    Pressing gas pedal makes blower fan go faster

    newer vehicles have smart charging so the alternator will unload at times to save fuel. when this happens the blower is running from battery when alternator kicks in you get a couple more volts and it speeds up.

    Saw someone walk out of Lowes without paying

    If anybody thinks this is ok please post your address so we can all come over and get some of your stuff. The problem with justifying some stealing as ok is that it it is still stealing ...not from banks or stores or thise filthy rich fools but from the other shoppers are paying that bill.

    ATF after sitting in garage

    ...the chevy 8 speed pulsing "chuggle" was due to moisture absorption in the original formula Dex LV fluid. I was skeptical at first also thinking it should boil off but evidence proved that it is problematic enough to tweak the formulation. Flushed transmissions immediately worked better.

    Which brand(s) of rotors resist / disperse heat the best ?

    +1 what Silver said. 2 kinds of drivers, the jack rabbit that never times lights, tailgates, swerves thru traffic and gets to red light first (WINNING!) then hard brakes to a dead stop... baking the pads/rotors while sitting. The tortoise measures acceleration, times the lights and glides in...

    Upcoming Amazon Security Issue

    If a camel gets his head inside your tent his body will soon follow. I get the egalitarian view of sharing resources for efficiency or to make their product more stable. But that tiny tentacle of usage could easily ramp up later and become an information vacuum sucking up the metadata your...

    When do you fill your gas tank?

    Liquid splashing around the tank draws heat from a pump motor that continously runs. a mostly empty tank cools that pump much less and the recirculating hot fuel that goes thru the pump does not contact the MOTOR ...you know ....the HOT part. Different vehicles have different pumps so YMMV but...
