    Opinions on Toyota 8 speed Transmission.

    I have a 2017, it failed when it was new around 15K but Toyota replaced it under warrranty. So far so good. It is about 85K now. I have just done a drain and refill once at around 80K with Valvoline Maxlife ATF.

    Keeping up your guard buying OEM parts at a new car dealership

    I have been buying parts at https://parts.parkplacelexusplano.com/ They have free shipping, not sure for big parts. I got a keyfob for 2010 RX350 for $120 which is a little more than buying used on Ebay. It did not include the metal key, though, I don't need it anyway.

    Will dirty terminals keep a battery from charging?

    Did you load test them one at a time? Even if one bad, you need to replace both.

    Will a locked Iphone 3 work for Verizon any Iphone $1,000 credit?

    Last time I did the trade in, when IPhone 13 was just released. ATT gave credit like $700 for IPhone 11/12 generation and up and $350 credit for as old as IPhone 8 up to X/XR/XS. I had an IPhone 7 and still does, it is not eligible for trade in allowance. I used the IPhone 7 for alarm now.

    New tires and always a balancing issue @ Discount Tire

    DT can vary in quality due to the number of people work there. So, the particular person that do the balancing may not be as good or detail as another. Although, it seems to be a no brainer balancing machine. Then, there is variation in the machine itself also.

    What's Your Favorite Computer Monitor Brand?

    I have an ASUS 24" for more than 13 years, still working. Running about 12-15 hours per day. At that time, 24" was the largest, now, it is standard. I can't say it is my favorite but if this one gave up, I will buy another ASUS. Before that, I had Acer which gave up due to swollen capacitor.
