Switched my '06 Sierra over to G-05 back in '09. Did several flushes and have had no issues. Not sure I'd go to the trouble to switch away from Dexcool today.

Though I own semi-autos, I'm partial to revolvers. For those who reload, it's hard to beat a 44 Mag. You can load from mild target loads to stiff big game loads. About the only down side to the 44 Mag. is size. If you prefer something smaller, a .357 Mag is a good choice. Even if you don't...

I had a Truetrac installed in my '06 Sierra last spring. They told me they put Mobil1 in it. After about 2 months I changed it to Supertech 75W90 since I wanted to get away from an oil containing FMs (something the Mobil 1 does contain). The differential seems to slip less/hook up more securely...

Modern ammo is loaded to SAMMI pressure levels. Some SAMMI levels have been reduced over the years (the 22 Hornet is one that was reduced nearly 10% several years back). There are various reasons for the SAMMI levels (and the revisions to them), and most are linked one way or another to safety...

There are at least a couple of reasons why it’s not a good idea to shoot 40 S&W in guns chambered for 10mm. But since it can be done, some people will insist on doing it. Anyone wanting to understand the pitfalls, can find it easily with a search.

A good oil finish like GB Lin-Speed is far superior to any poly finish, especially in appearance. It is very easy to do blend “repairs” on scratches, and when properly applied an oil finish is much more durable than the metal bluing. Water will bead on a good oil finish. It's obviously...

In an oil filter, either can provide the necessary performance. From my observations, a leaf spring offers superior media positioning.

I put an aluminum cover on a 8.6" GM. There were a few things that needed to be dealt with, most due to the increased thickness of the aluminum cover, and the presence of the stiffening "fins". The original bolts didn't fit the new cover and I didn't care for the ones included, so I had to find...

I installed a Kenwood unit with a USB input. However the USB jack was on the back, so a cord was supplied to enable plugging in the USB at some remote location of one's choosing. It's a nice feature, but mine takes quite a while to boot up and start playing music files from the USB. Probably...

You work in the auto repair industry and are tired of dealing with people. I can understand that. I am tired of dealing with people in the auto repair industry. As a result, I’ve stopped buying new cars and do almost all of the work myself. I got tired of getting my car back with parts loose...

Just wish my '06 L33 wasn't so noisy. Been that way since new. It's considerably noisier than my four valve '01 Modular.

According to the Filter Manufacturers Council (of which most major filter maker are members): ****************** "When the manufacturer assigns the filter to an application, filters are designed and manufactured to meet the requirements for that application. Therefore, the use of an aftermarket...

Better to chop. After all, according to experts, carrion is an important food source for carnivores and omnivores in most ecosystems.

It's not odd. It's political.
