    For home and DIY I use 1/4, 3/8, 1/2" all clickers; too much time in aviation maintenance to change now.

    Review: Gabriel Ultra ReadyMount Complete Strut Assembly on 2015 Toyota RAV4

    I respectfully disagree; NAFTA, along with China being "given" most favored nation trade status. "Granting China this trade status contributed to the "China Trade Shock" that destroyed 2 million American jobs after 2001. It also led to a surge of business investment in China that made the CCP...

    Cleaning Chemicals for Under Sink Pipes

    There is a product called "Thrift" that works really well with hot water per the instructions. You cannot put it in garbage disposals or toilets though; I've personally used it in bathtub & shower drains, bathroom sink drains, laundry drain with great success. Look HERE

    Injector Cleaning Service Recommendations

    I can recommend Hurst Injector Service; I have used them for my Tacoma injectors. There was a selection to upgrade to stainless filter baskets for a small fee (ethanol), which I upgraded to. I have my original set as well as a spare set, I asked to please lube/prep a set for storage and all was...

    My maternal Grandparents are from Grainfield, just North of these photos. Can you say ALOT of open country out there! My mom was from a big family, and they were all great cooks. Brings back good memories of summers past.

    Catastrophic engine failure - share your stories

    I was driving a Ford F350 Box Truck (460 engine) delivering "Spirits" back in '84 or '85 and everything was normal, going 60 mph on a 2 lane asphalt road and there was a sudden short rattle burst then thud, and the bottom end came out the oil pan, once I stopped and put the small oil fire out on...

    Best Halogen Headlight Bulb?

    I have had great luck with the Wagner TruView bulbs in my Tacoma. We had terrible luck in our '04 and '14 Accords with the Sylvania's...didn't matter what line. My recommendation is to steer clear of the Sylvania's if your alternator/electrical system is ECM managed or pulsed; that was the...

    Check System, Red Exclamation Point, Yellow Tire !

    This scenario happened on the Tacoma in my signature; all sensors were still factory so rather than nickel and dime each sensor when it failed, I bought 4 new ones and had Discount Tire replace and recalibrate the system for me. If one battery dies, the others are not far behind in my judgment.

    Is Jump Starting Still A Viable Practice?

    I received some advice a long time ago from a very seasoned and respected mechanic who told me to turn on the rear defroster if equipped or maybe seat heater if equipped, just a reasonable load item to direct any possible surge away from the ECM or PCM. Has always worked for me

    WiFi Router

    Check Spectrum's Modem Compatibility List for the speed(s) you have or want to upgrade to in the future, we don't have their land line service. If you have your own Wi-Fi router, you won't have to pay the modem/router fee every month. That's how we do our Spectrum service.

    Easy method to clean rubber floor mats

    I use Westley's Bleach White tire cleaner on all my rubber & Weathertech mats. I think Black Magic bought them out or is absorbing the brand.

    Oil filter cutter

    I bought one of the Longacre adjustable ones years ago, just looked at Summit and they wanted $99...I paid WAY less than that. While it is a fine filter cutter, it's not $99 fine if you know what I mean.

    So I went to Home Depot yesterday ......

    I learned in a financial management class years ago to always tell the customer service rep to report the account closed at customer's request; then the follow-up to make sure they actually did. You are not supposed to be penalized credit score-wise when you initiate the closure action.

    Lifetime friends and the crazy stories that go along with it

    When I was active duty, we used to call that a very large withdrawal from the luck bank. That was an H of a story, glad everyone survived.

    Best battery cable connector protector?

    I'm a little late here, if you know or have access to a Commercial/Industrial electrician or facilities maintenance person, ask them about contactor paste or something to that effect. My dad used to work for an electrical wholesale outfit and he always kept a 10-12 oz. squeeze bottle of a black...

    Brake Pads - with good initial bite

    I have used Akebono pads on 2 different Accord's, and Akebono Euro pads on my daughter's Range Rover Evoque with great results. Rotor wear has been minimal along with the dusting being minimal. Always good cold bite, and my personal marker is when you push the pedal harder you should get more...
