The only thing that makes sense in the above post is number 3. Scale buildup in a will create a giant snag for anything solid to catch on. If a pipe is clogged, it generally stays that way. 45 degree fittings should be the only thing on a sewer line besides a pipe coupling.When we had teenage...

About two years ago we had a basement flooding fiasco where we needed to make a decision fast. The only reason we could figure was the underground pipe in the basement was 85 years old, and that's all the life it had left in it. We had a plumber come in and put a camera in the sewer pipe while I...

Years ago my wifes sister took their Isuzu, to a dealer for it's first service. Somehow on the test ride, the mechanic flipped it over and totaled it. You want to have faith in the people who work on your stuff, but sometimes it doesn't work out.,,

I use fuel system cleaners in my bikes and lawn equipment, my experience is that when dosed properly, it does work. Anything that uses gasoline and sits for long periods of time, will be prone to having a varnish build up where the gas makes contact and just sits there. Like inside carbs, and...

I happen to have a couple mowers where you have to tip them over to change the oil. I'm not a big fan as there's alway a mess to clean up. So a week ago my neighbor got a hold of 2 Harbor Freight suction pumps. The manual hand pump type, and he gifted me one. So I figured I'd give it a try. I...

Here's my go to method of helping a tired engine out without rebuilding, or replacing it. First pull the plug. Clean it or replace it. Second, clean or replace the air filter. Third,make sure your using fresh new gas. Not stuff leftover from last season. Before I fill my gas cans, I throw a few...

Dexos is just an approval from gm. If you pay more for that symbol on a qt of oil, your just giving it to GM for nothing. It's not an ingredient, so use what ever oil you want.,,

I've owned a riding mower before, and the safety switches can drive you nut's. I can sort them out, I just cant see spending alot of money on a mower with engine block windows.,,

The carb problem I can handle. It's the rods hanging out the side of the block that makes it a no sale to me.,,

I've been looking for a rider mower for my sister on marketplace. And there's alot of them with blown engines. Is that because the engines are garbage, or do people just don't ever check the oil?.,,

If your not having consumption problems with what your using, why change now?. My '11 chevy equinox will use a qt of 5w30 every 750 miles. I bumped it up to 10w40, and now it uses a qt every 1500 miles. I can live with that, or I can spend the money and rebuild the engine. If it wasn't using so...

But at least Midland oil, is easy to get there.,,,

This is a timely post for me. Last year about this time, I bought a package deal for my Equinox, of 4 drilled rotors, 4 sets of pads, a bottle of brake fluid and brake cleaner from Detroit Axle. It said the rotors were coated, and 1 year later I guess they weren't lying. I only put the fronts on...

My mom is dead, and the woman I married isn't my mom so, I don't see any reason for me to give her a card. Hallmark my think differently, but I don't care. My kids on the other hand, are on the hook for a card or anything else.,,,

I used to do filter only changes with my '02 Explorer, here's why. years ago I used to drive alot because my job location changed during the year. Doing oil changes twice a month were getting expensive. So I learned on here that there were extended life engine oils, that were rated to go 10k and...

Well you moved into a house which is almost 30 years old. We have to believe it has the original roof still on it. You state it's been repaired several times by different people, but it has leaks. Roofs are not lifetime items. Most will come with a 30 year warranty, to the original buyer, which...

I'd be happy to pay for the plugs, if the warranty paid for the labor to install them.,,

I know this is like comparing Bananas to Coconuts, but I bought a 2021 Traverse a year ago. It had 36k on the clock. We bought it to travel in, over the summer. It has the 6 cyl with AWD. It's very spacious, and got surprisingly good gas mileage. And was very powerful for a 6 cyl. We did 4k...
