Curious 🧐

I’d take an old truck ANY day over a new POS that comes with a hefty payment. No thanks. Old school for the win. Here. There. And anywhere.

And HOW much does a gas cap cost?

You can PM me if you’d like. This thread isn’t about insurance.

Per month. 29 and 36. 06 Avalon and 06 Expedition. I pay $79/month for my Avalon and I drive 15,000+ miles a year. Wife drives maybe 5,000 a year. 100/300/100 policy

Yes it does. We pay $188 for full coverage for two vehicles. In Michigan which ranks top 5 for most expensive auto insurance rates.

This ^ I don’t believe in credit as per my last post: but this is the reply you want to hear.

I suppose you could probably call and eventually get it removed. Credit score doesn’t mean anything to us, as we hover around a 650 as a couple. Our house and two vehicles paid for, and contribute 15% to 401k and invest in other opportunities as they rise. We are 29 and 36. We are debt free...

Not necessarily, no. It's no different than taking a vitamin for "maintenance" purposes because it could have positive effects. Or getting a tune up in a HVAC system. Or going to the doctor for a physical. Or, or, or. You see, I rely on my body, to take care of my family. I rely on my vehicle...

What's the general consensus on AGM batteries in the upper-Midwest? Are AGM batteries worth the price difference? Considering a new battery before the cold winter hits and wanted to do my due diligence before I decide one way or the other. And lastly, are Optima batteries still considered...

Yes. Not sure if I’m going 5W30 or 0W30 for the winter here. With that purchase, I was going to add a quart of their engine cleaner for a mild $15. Can’t hurt, right?

Do I need one? Not sure. Purchased this vehicle about 2 months ago and just want to get the engine and fuel system as clean as possible since I don’t know how these areas were treated previously. I am not currently consuming any oil since my first OC with this vehicle ~3,000 miles ago...

Cash is king - buy what you can afford. Don’t finance a lawn mower. Please.

Besides the HPL engine cleaner — what other branded engine cleaners would yall recommend? The HPL engine cleaner is in my cart with my next order: but wondering what other brand engine cleaners BITOG users recommend?

We burn it out here..

Poor parts availability. Online order at best. I’d avoid big box models for that reason alone. **** breaks, and often. It’s very nice to walk into your local dealer and pickup or have parts transferred. (I work for JD) My advice will always be support whatever is local to you for that reason...

Whatever dealer/service/parts is closer is what I would go with. I’m in mid Michigan and there’s 5 JD dealerships to 1 “insert any other brand” and I’m sure as hell not driving an hour or more for parts or repair services (if you go new).

Gearing up for my next oil change - 2006 Toyota Avalon 3.5L V6. OEM recommends 5W30. Live in upper mid-Michigan. Winter temps as low as -10f, few days a winter where it’s -15 or greater. Should I continue with 5W30 for the winter, switch to a 5W-40/0W-40 for the “winter”? Thoughts? Opinions...

Going to have to ask my wife 😂 Our pet pigs are 60-100lbs. Feeder pigs are 300+ (different breeds)

We raise pork as well 😉
