    End of an era for British Airways.

    I will date myself a bit here...when I was very young, my dad used to take me to watch the initial cadre of crews do touch and go training at the old Schilling Air Force Base in Salina, KS. This was late '69 or early '70 if memory serves me. At that time, I believe it had the 2nd or 3rd longest...

    Best protectant for tire sidewalls.

    I have used 303 Aerospace Protectant for many years with no problems; it dries to a natural satin finish and will last quite a long time.

    music quality of speakers in the 70's vs now

    I don't want to start a badge warfare battle but, Pioneer had 3 standout floor speaker sets form that time. HPM-150, HPM-1500, HPM-1100. Finding quality preserved/maintained sets today is very hard...not impossible though. They did take a bit of power to sound their best though; 100 - 200 or so...

    Home HVAC advice?

    We have an extended family member that owns his own HVAC business; we just replaced a 19 year old, 13 SEER Carrier Heat Pump system 2 weeks ago. Texas climate is probably a little different, but, the industry basic recommendation here is 14 SEER now. We talked at length about the 17 SEER and...

    Spark Plugs for 2013 Accord Earth Dreams K24W. Is the Denso TT ok here??

    The owners manual lists - NGK DILKAR7G11GS or DENSO DXE22HQR-D11S. Either is kind of pricey, Rock Auto has a 5% discount code...every little bit helps. I prefer Denso's, currently out of stock at R.A. NGK 96964 are $11.78 each at R.A. right now

    2014 Accord hesitates when cold

    My wife has the same year and model with 133K on it now. Without knowing your preventative maint routine; I would - change spark plugs (pricey for some reason), thoroughly clean throttle body, clean MAF sensor (use MAF Sensor cleaner only), reset PCM and let it learn new parameters. If you...

    F-22 Crash in Florida

    Luckily, the pilot ejected safely; he is the only person that knows right now. Speculation is like throwing darts, the incident investigation team will sort it all out. I lived in this area for 11 years while stationed at Hurlburt Filed; one thing not mentioned is this time of year is Egret...

    Power Steering Cooler Rusty - 2008 Silverado 1500 GMT900

    I know Eastwood carries it, just the idea of shipping and small delay. They sell it in Satin and Gloss finishes...its good stuff, I've used it in the past. A little pricey, but 1 can should be more than enough. If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can get it through them with free shipping...

    Power Steering Cooler Rusty - 2008 Silverado 1500 GMT900

    Depending on your budget, I like the SKF model; it will cool more effectively based on construction types. If you are having corrosion issues on the factory tube & fin design, if I were using the SKF, I would wipe it down with a paint prep and coat it with radiator black specialty paint. It is...

    Bilstein 4600 (B6) Struts/Shocks

    Look into the 5100 series Bilstein's for your 4Runner. They are an excellent shock; my Tacoma had the 4600's as OEM and they can't hold a candle to the 5100's that replaced them. I had the TSB done for the rear leaf springs 2 summers ago, and replaced my front coils with Toyota OEM parts and the...

    High Performance Brake Pads for Honda CR-V??

    I put a set of Akebono ProACT Ceramic pads and a new set of rotors on my wife's Accord to replace the OEM pads and it was an amazing change for the better in the braking performance and dust elimination. The OEM pads never seemed to have the necessary "bite" but the Akebono's have great initial...

    Ever had a transmission fail? On what vehicle?

    My wife's previous 2004 Honda Accord V6 auto trans failed with a little over 160K on it several years ago. 2nd gear clutch pack was gone on teardown; a common failure for that series auto trans. After warranty, switched to Redline D4 and all was fine until the dreaded shift flairs started. From...
