My dad was quite the maintainer of cars, but my sister had a 1997 Camry. The differential came apart on the highway due to...this. He got in his truck with the tow dolly, brought her home, and found a junkyard transaxle.

The key word in your misunderstanding is "back." You cannot buy "back" something you do not own. The bank holds title. The bank owns the car. You would not be buying it "back" from anyone. You would be buying it from the title holder be it the bank or the insurance company. The gap...

Because when you have a policy on an insured car, your policy gets a rider added to it that says this is the way it works. The insurance needs to pay cash to get the title. You don't have title, so they can't give you the money to take ownership of the car. They have to pay the bank to get...

3.15% 15-year since 2014 and then refi in 2021 to add my wife...2.13% 15-year.

Same as Walmart if you have one locally. Wish our WM carried 5w-40 In sizes larger than 1 gal.

I wasn't going to judge you on a 5.3 rear main seal. It's kinda a design feature.

Humm. Not at our WM. Remembering the WM oil/lube clearances of late Feb 2024, certain things were discounted at certain stores. In the end, it looked like inventory reduction because many of those items were ultimately restocked and not discontinued. With bated breath I've awaited similar...

Some real leakers and burners in that list.

Isn't this the oil we thought was triangulation fraud, sold "too cheap" on ebay from walmart?

Every six months. Even if the mileage is low it gives you a chance to rotate tires, look at brakes, check suspension, look for new leaks, etc.

Sounds stringent.

Awesome. What oil do they use?

1) Company drivers are hard on trucks. OTOH, hotshotting can be largely highway miles which greatly benefits trucks. 2) Those are 4th gen rams, specifically 2013-2018 3500s with the Aisin/HO. 3) If you watch enough videos, you pickup clues that his trucks may have had some modifications. Not...

And today that caliper got replaced with a reman unit. Hate to use a parts store reman but 1/2 the cost of getting a new mopar unit shipped from rock auto and I don't have the time. (Family trip pulling the camper next week/weekend.) I reused my old frame and sliders with their caliper...

But you equated largest load carried with most stringent oil spec, which shows an ignorance of the machinery involved. Small machinery can be just as demanding on lube properties, or more. The hardest working or most mission critical engines (think, nuclear power plant backup diesels, or cargo...

Well, over here in bald eagle freedom land, those Mickey Mouse euro derived diesels carry the more stringent specs, which is what you asked. How many Scanias do you own? Looking out my driveway I can see four “light duty” diesel pickups of >400 hp each. They’re more common here than VW golf’s...

It's not the question you intended to ask, but perhaps some of the ACEA C and E categories. Dexos D? Otherwise, maybe add Cummins 86 and Ford F1 to the list. Lots of modern fleet engines out there require the Volvo 4.5 spec. The volume blenders would be pretty silly not to carry that cert...

I meant, use the Walmart return gift certificate to buy more oil, generating another receipt, to repeat the cycle.

Powerstop Z36 on both axles of 2014 Ram 3500. Silicone brake lube on all sliders and shims. Here's to reduced brake dust compared to the TRW stamped nonsense that came off (with >50% pad life remaining.) The mud I washed off the rims on a regular basis was appalling. Had a real time getting...

Especially if you can't buy the oil on Amazon.
