My '95 Legacy EJ22 powered auto 4-sp I think is as you describe. I had a shop strip the drain and fill bolts on the rear diff. It was leaking milky-water treacle by the time they rounded the plugs for me. I stuffed a fuse in the socket under the hood to "lock" out into FWD only and crawled to...

Coils only really become a maintenence item if you've simply neglected basic tuneup maintenence and other scheduled items. About the only times I've seen COP/CNP packs fail is when they're either overheated or you let the plugs or wires deteriorate. They work extra hard in performance scenarios...

I had a much older EJ22 powered Scooby ('95) Legacy wagon. It was front wheel biased @ about 90%, to rear 10% on flat, dry, highway speed pavement. So yeah, it understeered like a lazy torpedo as many unmodded FWD cars will. She had a classic thermo-viscous center differential that could bind...

Going by my manual, it states in a myriad of footnotes, different information based on trim level. (It's an '03 SS, but really just a really dressed up GMT-800 Chevy 1500) All it basically says is to start a cold engine and let idle for at least 10 seconds before engaging any gear and driving...

Trotter is another way of saying "pig's hoof". In my case the brake ventilators are smaller grilles and ducts that direct an air stream back under the front facia of the vehicle to cool the rotors.

Not at all the same vehicle but helped my little bro on his Acura. (FWD) Had the same problem as described, bad vibe under acceleration yet well behaved at cruise. Doing a foot on brake and giving it power eliminated engine rocking from bad motor mounts. But throwing the wheel hard over one...

Dashcams aren't always a solution either. I have live video of some heavy chick putting her trotter into one of my front brake ventilators and snapping it clean off. HD, clear, crystal video. Backed by store surveillance video. $800+ damages which in my state is a felony if you walk or drive...

Most vehicles have a "de-gassing" tank that maintains the system pressure with a related cap that is remotely located away from the radiator. Long gone are the days of a radiator cap and overflow bottles. My old and rusty but very trusty is like this as well. A pressure cap on the remote, dual...

I too would look into ABS sensors and wiring first before going all swaptronics with tranny and ABS module(s). Check for missing weather packs, crusty green connectors or rotten sensors at the tone wheels. They get a ton of abuse out there in the elements.

This is sound, no questions asked. ^^^ I own a previous GMT-800 gen truck. When she rolled over 175k, I did replace the fuel sending module entirely as cheap insurance after I found her down on fuel pressure by a few pounds. But rather than drain a full tank and try to manage where 27+ gallons...

I've got an LA-175 lawn chariot. I could level the deck all I wanted (it never changed) but a bent blade can harsh your lawn. I swapped the bent factory stock blades in my deck with a set of Oregon Gators. Immediate day and night difference. The stock Deere blade kit was horribly bent. I had...

Check too that your fuel filter is intact. I had a carb gum up as described above. It was an 11hp Kohler engine that had sat for quite some time. The fuel filter was perforated, passing along the fine rubber chunks of a deteriorated gas tank cap seal. It just fritters away like sand into a black...

As said above, it may appear that you don't have a filter... The moment you have to do a tank-off repair? ...Oh. *There* it is. If its not incorporated into the tank outlet, elbow or just before and inside the line right up to the carb... it will be somewhere in the middle of a fuel line...

It actually might. They work deep into the weekend hours and they can surprise you. I watched the comedy of shipping an Amazon order of AGM, rapid discharge batteries for my APC uninterrupted power supply. They came from an alarm systems group literally 8 hrs away if I jumped in my SS and drove...

I call BS on B&S. Look at it this way: If there is a plug. If there is an assembly or component with said plug and - that plug can be removed? Claims of lifetime fluid are completely false. Deere says the Tough Torque hydro drive on my mower is a lifetime fill. Tough Torque says; "Oops, we...

Wow, absolutely stunning help! OP: Snap a photo of the belt number before it wears off the side with your smartphone. If it isn't a direct part number, it likely will be the belt dimensions. That way you can quickly reorder the part and even switch up belt formulations. I.e. A Kevlar...

Lol, yep... lawnbots are catching on Florida just behind Delta variant covid. But I have acerage and lake side field to knock down. Gasser all the way, a 21" trimmer mower right behind a 54" Deere home tractor. The property itself, not even thinking of down-field mowing is just a ½acre. Would...

^^^^This plus + 1000x^^^^ Given that you see all four seasons, a BatteryMinder is seriously going to help you immensely. Especially if you cannot remove and store the battery in a more temperate climate. I live in a very hot, messed up 24-7-365 place and since I've employed Battery Minders in...

As above, please tell us more about your machine. While it's running; does it surge or sputter and miss while going about your work? Any strange fuel or strong exhaust smells? Is this a small mower or a fat, full on v- twin tractor? Etc...etc...etc... Big brains need clue fuel and love to...

Right on man... thanks for the Intel. *^.^* A few of the guys and I started a local club that meets monthly at the lot of (a thankfully) sanctioned O'Reilly's shop. They close doors and we bang the gavel on LBCT community. (Little Black Chevy Truck) We don't care how old, rusty, or risky...
