    Non winter rated engine powering snow blower

    now you have me thinking...do my snowblower engines have the same forced air cooling that my non snow engines have? First thought is no, they dont (could be wrong)...plus they do have shielding over the carb and intake area..

    Toro 21” Commercial Suzuki 2 Stroke Lawnmower?

    beautiful mower! Lawn Boy ran 2 strokes on their mowers for years (decades?). Great power, light weight, worked great for mowers. Stricter pollution regulations did in the 2 strokes. Do a search on that mower...looks like a solid unit. Those had steel wheels running on ball bearings, aluminum...

    Are you on the "autism spectrum"? And if so, what are your + and - skills?

    I realize this thread started last year...to follow up on my 14 yr old daughter...she is enjoying her high school experience very much, so far. I was terrified at the prospect of her in a large, new school but she adapted just fine. She still has a 4.0 and has even made a few friends at school...

    Diff fluid change & level surface

    If I do need my vehicle to be level in the garage I've found that putting the back wheels on 2x material will level everything out.

    Sirius Boom Box Circa 2008

    cancel your sub...wait a bit and they will bombard you with $5 month offers to renew . Renew again for a year, cancel...and repeat. I still have an old, add on Sirius radio in my van with the external antennae (old boom box is still in my office). Have it built into my newer Ford Edge. Will be...

    Oil Extractor - problems with Subaru Forester?

    yep, everyone above is correct. My '08 Outback would be good for about 2 quarts extracted using the mity vac.

    AWD spare - distance and speed vs damage?

    my 08 Subaru Outback allowed you to pull a fuse to disable the rwd if you had a flat. Good tires go on front, spare goes on disabled back end.

    foam pad under upper intake on a 3.6 Pentastar needed?

    update - after looking very closely at the work done I'm not going to ask them to pull the intake, again, to replace the pad. There were too many broken connectors, push pins not pushed in, stuff scratched, etc. I don't want more stuff hacked up. I get it.....it's a shop where time is money and...

    foam pad under upper intake on a 3.6 Pentastar needed?

    this is how I'm leaning....per the tech, he thought the pad" looked to be in rough shape and would be a home for mice" so he left it off....which is interesting because I had it apart 6 months ago and it was in perfect shape (as is the rest of the van..2014 with 79K but looks showroom new). I...

    foam pad under upper intake on a 3.6 Pentastar needed?

    I just had my oil filter housing/oil cooler replaced on my 3.6 Pentastar in a Caravan. The indy shop did a great job at a fair price..but they did not reinstall the foam pad that sits on top of the front bank of cylinders and under the upper intake. I can't seem to find any real good info on the...

    2016 Ford Edge 6F35 fluid change

    I did that a while back on my 2018 Edge with a 2.0. YouTuber Ford tech Makuloco has a good video on that. I think I got around 4 qts out of mine on drain. He is a big proponent of 30K drain and fills on these...something to do with the internal tranny filter and the need to crack the case to...

    Paste VS Liquid

    try the new hybrid ceramic sprays. (on a properly prepared surface, of course)..you'll never go back to the drudgery of paste (or liquid) wax again.

    Magazine Adds targeting boys in the 1960s/ 1970s

    loved those ads..always some cool stuff that I wanted. I also remember the Charles Atlas bodybuilding ads..for a few dollars he's send you a plan to become a hulking bodybuilder to win all the girls at the beach!

    Very dissapointed in ariens snowblower build quality.

    how old is that model, 20 years or more? I did a search and saw a pic, looks like it's an entry level unit where they will cut a lot of corners to hit a price point. If anything, I think their build quality went up from there...my 2011 Platinum 24 has beefy metal gears and a chain as part of the...

    Hotel pet policy

    you are in the right...dogs have no place in hotels. I travel for work and will not stay in a hotel that allows pets. The smell and noise are deal breakers.

    Who has their winter tires on already?

    Thanksgiving week is my target date for getting my snows on. The all seasons totally suck in the snow...can't even get up my driveway with them on. Snow tires are superior in traction (and ride, too, but not noise). Front wheel drive with dedicated snows? 4WD not needed. It's not the deep snow...

    Random Orbital or Forced Action polisher?

    I think for the average hobby car guy a random orbit is the ticket. It's almost fool proof..yes, it takes longer to work the paint vs a straight cut polisher..but unless you're a Pro and doing it all the time..a random orbit fits the bill. I picked up my Griot's random orbit around 10 or 15...
