I have not seen anyone mention this yet, but I may be blind. In order for the OLM to be accurate, you must run an oil that meets or exceeds GM's special specification as stated in the owner's manual. The OLM in the Colorado I used to have impressed me a great deal. In fact, it was the only thing...

Steve -- For me it is cost savings. The AmsOil EAA filter in my 05 Explorer and the SynWash filter in my 02 F150 are both approximately twice the price of a good, reputable disposable filter. The AmsOil will last about as long as 4 disposable filters, if it holds up to AmsOil's claims. The...

1994+ F350 Crew Cab diesel. 4x4 or 4x2, it doesn't matter. I have never felt fatigued driving one of these no matter how long the trip. The seating position on these trucks is perfect for me. Long wheelbase minimizes steering corrections. Just set the cruise on the turbo diesel and it will climb...

They may just move to your patio to complete metamorphasis. Only thing I can think of.

I will second Inova flashlights. A little pricey, but worth it. In my experience, I believe them to be more durable than even the venerable Mag Lites. Speaking of Mag Lites, we got my father-in-law a 3D LED Mag Lite for his birthday. I must say that I am impressed. Seems to be a brighter than...

Not sure what the proper scientific name is, but around here we call them bagworms. They are little brownish-colored worms in bag that is make of a substance they produce similar to silk or spider web. Around here they usually have needles from conifer trees on the outside of the bag. From what...

Never seen that coloration before either. That is a depression, common on GoodYears, Coopers, and Kelly's. Even though depressions do not affect anything in a negative way, they do drive me nuts.

I have been happy with the newer Anco flexible wipers. I guess they are considered frameless. Hold the windshield very well with no chattering. Like them in the winter because there is no frame to plug with ice. When they freeze up, just pull over, jump out, curve them backwards, and all the ice...

If you are going to "tee" off of the output line and "tee" back into the return, I think you would be okay. You would have transmission cooling problems if you were to try to simply put it in-line on either the output line or the return line due to the restriction required for proper bypass...

Captain Howdy, Actually, for the price of a new pistol, buy a bunch of ammo for your nine and take her to the range. With a little practice, I can't imagine her not being able to handle it with enough proficiency. It would also be a great idea for her to enroll in a basic handgun training class...

Durango, The example I gave is of my current Taurus. I have had two others before, and all had problems either straight out of the box or shortly thereafter. I have not found them to be reliable enough to trust my life with, and I sure wouldn't trust my wife's life with one. I appreciate your...

For maintenance/repairs that are not going to require submerging my hands into chemicals (like an oil change), I like the knit/mesh gloves that have the textured latex gripping surfaces on the palms and fingers. It doesn't matter how slick a part is, those gloves will maintain grip. You can find...

If you like tinkering with guns, get a Taurus. I have yet to have one that did not need some tinkering to get it to fire, and it is usually something inane like a burr. My current snubby's cylinder latch would not engage properly because it was hanging up on a burr. When I pulled the trigger...

I am going to echo the oil analysis. It is the absolute best way to make this sort of determination. The 3.0 Vulcan is a bit of a wheezer, but bless it's little spark plugs it is durable. I am usually in charge of my grandmother's '91 Aerostar, and I do one year oil changes on it using AmsOil...
