    Are all full synthetic rear differential gear fluids made equal?

    If you have any type of non open dif you definitely need to use what is speced, Jeep with the quadradrive has some weird additive, my GM truck with E lockers also has a non additive spec for it which is very important it will not work correctly with LS fluid added in.

    Older tire pressure sensors

    That is not enforced in most corner shops as the tests are focused on actual tire inspection tread depth and then the emissions is only driven by the OBD2 computer which does not see the TPMS apparently. I would hope a legit dealership would fail you though.

    Older tire pressure sensors

    This is regularly done on the patrol cars where I work I have seen it in person and thought they were kidding but apparently practice makes perfect. They just empty the tire of air by pulling the valve core out first then the kid sprayed some tire lube on the edge of rim and used a tire lever to...

    Best flashlight you’ve ever owned.

    Well to the OP you are on a great path here but a bit behind the times. I literally live within walking distance of the streamlight company.

    Product to Clean Mildew Smell from Carpet

    If he can take it out the best thing is just let a good carpet cleaner actually sit on it they usually say 15 in the directions, scrub it well with stiff bristle brush and then hose the whole thing til the water is clear. The best thing for mildew smell is going to be letting it dry completely...

It is very time consuming but you can safely restore stuff that looks terrible this way with zero fear of doing damage...

    Removing Clearcoat From Wheels?

    If you are using the duplicolor clear I learned the hard way that you really need a few days of drying on the original paint before applying it. Something in the paint chemistry didn't work when I tried to shoot the duplicolor on top of a few hours old coat of rustoleum and it all wrinkled up...

    Removing Clearcoat From Wheels?

    Why not just buy brand new steel wheels for the police car p71 style? Ive bought them for $50 online. They were made up to 17" diameter and will obviosly fit your car correctly. https://www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1061944
