Again? When did they begin? Even the old "350" ate valve guide seals for lunch and had a litany of other typical GM issues. They did. And then they did as they said. And then their sales fell off a cliff. They had the #1 muscle car in the nation, and the EV version has been the worst...

Toyota was the one that surprised people. GM has been making trash since the GMT 400 platform debuted, and gosh that was 1988. It would take reams of paper to list all the common issues we've seen on GM trucks over the last 35+ years. As far as this specific issue goes, GM says that the 2025...

Well I need a wheel bearing for the front right of my Challenger SRT8. On Rock Auto, the Timken bearing brings up a photo of a SKF. So I guess I'll try that one. $80 bucks isn't bad I guess. Especially for such a critical part.

Hmm. Well that's a bummer. I assume they got bought out? I never thought I'd see the University of Kentucky be good at football. I never thought I'd see Katy Perry launched into orbit in a spacecraft. And I never thought I'd see the day when people would recommend Fram filters over other...

First I've heard of Purolator being "junk". All the testing I've seen over the years shows them at the top of the game.

Don't know where you live, but my experience in Kentucky has been that Discount Tire stores do the best job at balancing my large Jeep and pickup truck tires. By large I mean 33 to 35" variety. 99% of the time they get it dialed in first try. No other shops in my area can hold a candle to...

So now I know one person who actually has a positive view of the Chevy Blazer.

The more new EVs they sell, the more the prices will crash on them as used inventory grows. Nobody wants to buy a used EV, knowing that ultra expensive battery changes and repairs may lie ahead. So they sit on lots. And if used ones sit on lots it affects sales of new ones. So, this is a...

I wouldn't touch an old Subaru unless you like carrying jugs of oil in the trunk.

This is far from scientific, but I'll share this: Up until January of this year I had a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 3.6L Pentastar V6. It had a steady diet of dealership oil changes every 5-6k miles throughout its entire life. From what I've been told on this forum, that dealership 0W20...

Apparently y'all haven't been following Toyota quality lately. Most of what they've built the last 3 years has been junk. And their last two pickup truck launches have been disasters also. Recalled hundreds of thousands of Tundras to replace engines, new Tacomas with more issues than I care...

Hmmm.... My Challenger 392 takes 0W40. The Pennzoil Platinum that the manual "recommends" is hard to find and a little pricey in stores. I wonder how this Supertech 0W40 will compare? If the virgin samples were similar, I'd definitely try it!

That's definitely my second choice. 1 Permanent DST 2 Just like it is now 3 Permanent standard time (only good for vampires)

Could not care less. MY happiness is much greater when I have sunshine, and happiness leads to better health. People who prefer early sunsets are odd.

Looks like the bill isn't moving. So we'll probably get stuck with having to keep changing clocks. Sigh.... https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/119/s29 I prefer DST. I, like most people, work from 7:00 to 15:00 each day, so I couldn't care less when the sun rises. But, I DO care when it...

What's the significance of those two specific oils if you don't mind me asking?

I REALLY want to run this oil in my 6.4L Dodge Challenger, but the thickest viscosity Valvoline offers it in is 5W30 and the manual for my car "recommends" 0W40. I wonder how big of a deal it would be to run one or two cycles of 5W30 R&P through this engine?

Blizzard Warning on the Gulf coast yesterday for the first time in recorded history. Nearly a foot of snow in parts of the deep south including Florida. Here in Kentucky we got to within a degree of tying the all-time record low temp for today's date this morning. This is after multiple snow...

That's a screen shot from my video. To elaborate a little, this is a 3.6L Pentastar engine in my Jeep that has 200,800 miles as of today. To the best of my knowledge this engine had been fed 0W20 dealership bulk oil (Pennzoil Ultra Platinum) throughout its life. The dipstick showed varnish...

Really? They use a product of that level of quality in their bulk supply? Interesting...
