    Has Amazon (silently?) changed return refund policy?

    Depends on if you are a Prime member or not?

    Hawaii is getting too expensive to visit.

    We (family of five) went to HI right at the end of the pandemic and had exactly the same experience as you. Went to the same places apparently. Stayed on Waikiki right across from the "lagoon" and it was beautiful. No tides to speak of, and beautiful weather the whole trip. Went to all the...

    The only college degree that truly was an education

    Ultimately, you get (from an education) what you put into it. So far in this thread, I see sweeping generalizations and disdain for professors and study in humanities. I can assure you that a PhD is not an easy thing to get - and to make light of the people who have them is, IMO, biased and...

    Two hot retirement states, one expected, one surprise

    Regarding central SC, the capital city county (Richland County) is having to build on to it's existing jail and add over 275 "beds" due to overcrowding. This jail was built in 1994 and the crime has now outstripped this facilities ability to house inmates. Crime has risen here due to...

    Two hot retirement states, one expected, one surprise

    SC is a mixed bag. Three big cities, rest is mostly rural. Incredibly red state. Education level is poor. Suffers from brain drain in most areas. 3 of my kids refuse to live here and are actively trying to leave (accountant, engineer, lawyer). Driving can be dangerous due to road...

    Need Grease suggestion for 2015 FORD Manual Telescoping Tow Mirror Tracks

    Okay, I went with the "Mission Paste". It seems to be working a whole lot better. Thanks!

    Need Grease suggestion for 2015 FORD Manual Telescoping Tow Mirror Tracks

    I wonder if "Never-Seize" would work, compared to "Mission Paste"? These are two that I have on-hand that I have had great success with in the past on various projects. I don't want to screw up the mechanism as these mirrors are expensive new.

    Need Grease suggestion for 2015 FORD Manual Telescoping Tow Mirror Tracks

    That's cool. I've never seen something like this before. They don't show what it contains though. Can you read the contents on the can or is it "proprietary". Also, unfortunately, I have to get this done today so I won't have time to order and wait. I will order some later though. Seems...

    Need Grease suggestion for 2015 FORD Manual Telescoping Tow Mirror Tracks

    This is the manual telescoping tow mirror. To extend it for towing, you yank on the outer assembly and it pulls out to a stop. For non-towing, the mirror is pushed back in. The enclosed tracks are in the two "arms" that hold the actual mirror itself. This picture has the plastic guide...

    Need Grease suggestion for 2015 FORD Manual Telescoping Tow Mirror Tracks

    I have some of that in a different brand (dry Teflon spray). I thought about using it, but for the reason you stated I did not. The parts are black plastic and containing the overspray would be difficult. On a side note, I got of that spray on my windows, and I thought it would "wear"...

    Need Grease suggestion for 2015 FORD Manual Telescoping Tow Mirror Tracks

    It's plastic on plastic inside a metal track. The clearances are kinda tight, and these things are famous for rust jacking shut. The metal track corrodes and seizes the plastic track and the assembly quits working. I'll post up some pictures shortly

    Need Grease suggestion for 2015 FORD Manual Telescoping Tow Mirror Tracks

    2015 FORD Manual Telescoping Tow Mirror Tracks are sticking and I need to grease them so the mirror slides in and out easier. I tried white lithium grease but it is not working well at all. The telescopic mechanism is binding when I pull it out. I did clean the tracks thoroughly and removed...

    Oil change, Time vs. Mileage

    This is BITOG. I would bet this has happened at least once, if not more times than any of us could imagine. AND, if the car was under warranty with a powertrain warranty that REQUIRED this interval of time, then I can see this happening. Proof that the change was done, regardless of the...
