    HELP FINDING AIR FILTER FOR THE HOUSE

    Got it. It seems silly but it really is hard to find the "rock catcher" type in that size! Up here in CT there is a place called Winnair that is an HVAC supply which sells to public. Not sure where you are in Florida, but it looks like Winsupply (similar idea) is a thing down there. They might...

    Drill battery as a jumper

    Seems shady, but I have to wonder....how different is this from the "plug into your car lighter" jump packs? I think the only real difference would be 18V vs 12V, assuming thats an 18V battery they are using.

    Interstate Batteries

    Yep, forgot to mention that....my wife drives it, the trips are not short (15+ miles each way, 1 to 3 times a day depending on kids activities). So it definitely gets back to where it started. Just got back from Costco.....not sure who makes the batteries. The serial number is "melted" into the...

    Interstate Batteries

    The battery that died on me is in a daily driver. It doesnt sit any longer than maybe 12 hours without running. Definitely not a weekend or even just a day. When its cold out, I throw it on a Battery Tender Jr just because. It's cranked at normal speed throughout this winter, yet all of a...

    Interstate Batteries

    A little raising of a thread from the dead, but my just over 2 year old Interstate (from Costco) just died. Basically no warning...no slow crank last night or this morning, wife drove it to pick up one of the kids. Waited in parking lot with car off (no headlights, no radio, etc) and bam! no...

    HEMI Start-Up Tick

    I think mostly because RedLine has quieted ticking engines (the ticks not being exhaust manifold related), and the biggest thing that stands out in RedLine vs others it the amount of moly and the "weight" of the oil. Im sure there are other differences, but without getting proprietary secrets...

    HEMI Start-Up Tick

    The biggest hangup is "what is hemi tick?' There are 3 that I know of: one is the loud knock type noise that I hear in a specific situation, one is broken exhaust manifold bolts and the third is some form of lifter tick. The loud knock type noise I know how to avoid so I dont ever hear it...

    Older Murry snowblower question.,,,

    I agree with the governor spring suggestions. If it can get to higher RPM by manually moving something, I would think its not the spark plug, though I would replace if it its old enough anyway. Those Tecumseh engines are loud and underpowered but can sure take a beating. The 9HP in my Ariens...

    Anti-Detail (winter salt bath) pics

    My black car is a mess. But I refuse to wash it until its warm enough for me to have enough time to concentrate on it. Otherwise Ill end up dragging all the sand/salt crap across the paint, marring it to kingdom come. I will hit it with the foam lance on my pressure washer, then lightly...

    HEMI Start-Up Tick

    I personally wonder if there is something the ECU "does" at a certain RPM, and if you dont hit that RPM during a drive cycle, it leaves it in a state that leads to the noise on next startup (maybe VVT or MDS related?). I tried the Viper SRT filter on my engine and it seemed to make the issue go...

    HEMI Start-Up Tick

    Ive narrowed down a loud knock/tick on my 2017 Hemi RAM...it happens like this: If the truck sat, say overnight, then I start it just to move it a short distance (think: to the other side of my driveway), then shut it down....if I start it again within an hour or two, it will make a fairly loud...

    Which auto restoration shows on TV are good or do you watch?

    Just the TV show. It was a while ago, actually....I dont think they started up the show again.

    Dealership "scheduled maintenance" musings

    The funny thing is they made such a huge deal about the "lifetime powertrain!" warranty they offered, while we were negotiating on a price. At some point I wanted to pay $200 less for the truck, they actually said "we can do that, but we cant give you the lifetime powertrain! warranty". So...

    Post your latest parts purchase

    Moog front left sway bar link for my G37 :) Got it from Amazon Warehouse in "used - very good" condition for $15 instead of $38. Showed up and its brand spanking new, still sealed in package. Now just waiting for the front right link to do the same thing lol

    Toyota dealer uncertainty in the oil viscosity used

    Yeah its funny how if you used the "wrong" viscosity compared to the manual, theyll hold it against you. But no one at the dealer has any idea *** they are putting into the engines, and thats OK somehow? I dont even bother thinking about using dealers anymore except for warranty stuff (and...

    Dealership "scheduled maintenance" musings

    Purchased my 2017 RAM 1500 brand new in October, 2017. In December I got an email about the "3 month required service". Pulled out my handy dandy owners manual, the one with the factory required maintenance schedule. Oh look! The first "required" service is not until 2 years/20K miles. Of...
