Film crews are a PITA. When I lived in Toronto they would close a lot of the parks for filming. Weekends they would shut down Bay Street(Canada's Wall Street) for filming. It became a part of the reason I moved away.

Zerks being Jerks

For $30 it's worth a shot to change. They are wear items at about 200k kms. Could be your cat is about to go though. Haven't read whole thread so don't know if it's been replaced.

I've had good luck with rebuilt Remy. Last one had a slightly noisy pulley bearing but I really didn't want to exchange. The noise went away in 1000kms.

These vans eat sway bar bushings. I bet you're due.

I know my last 3 Fedex from US have all been late by exactly 2 days. Plenty of storms in past days that they are still dealing with logistics wise.

Just get OEM bushings. Usually the same price a the dealer. There can be minute differences in aftermarket. The extra $5 is worth it.

Maintenance costs would def. factor into a new car decision for me. Probably stick to base trims with a timing chain and hopefully a hybrid. As of now; fixing stuff when it needs it? No issue. it costs what it costs. Me doing my own work keeps costs at bay. I hate driving mechanically deficient...

How come a lot of you Americans wind up with used Canadian trucks? A company I work for buys new f350's, uses them for a year then auctions in Texas. Are there substantial savings for you guys?

Lovely thread. She gave this shop a ton of money. Can she get any back? If this is well documented then this was obviously fraud and theft. What happened to the cats? She probably didn't need them but they be getting $1500 per OEM cat.

Yeah it's out there. I was talking to this poor guy in my buildings elevator who got some bad gas.

My 09 grand caravan is like this. In the winter with city driving it'll go off every 3000km. It is very cold winters where I live. When I highway drive for work in the summer it'll go off every 9000km. It's def. conservative and dialed for conventional. I just ignore and always change every...

Sourced and installed a steering knuckle in a Grand Carryvan. In 75kmh winds.

ha. I'll be going to Kirkland 0w20 syn this year. Normally stick with 5w20 but it gets down to -35c where I live. Will also use a battery tender on nights below -10c. I replaced my battery a year ago and last winter it took a beating. Always started but now I'm seeing 12.3v at cold start...

the rattle is normal for that pcv. Source. I have a 3.3l

Maybe it's the Wireless Ignition Module. My 09 had a faulty one. I'm not sure the 4th gen vans have one though. Jeepman or Levy are very knowledgeable about these vans over at chryslerminivan.ne*

Maybe his wife is Japanese. Don't they retire engines at 50 000k? Smart. Save the planet from all that used dino juice.

I just heard about the psychos in the front office of ebay. Death threats and dead animals mailed to critics? Fn crazy! Def. done with them. Eddie Bauer too. I like their stuff but twice they say stuff in stock then don't ship main items claiming no stock. Wrote them a lovely email after second...

Walmart Canada has really gone downhill IMO. Always out of stock; terrible auto supplies dept & terrible produce quality. My assumptions are based off Calgary & Prince George stores. I did use a Walmart Mr. Lube in Calgary for a tire swap and the staff were great there though.
