Has anyone ever protested a dramatic hike in their primary residence property tax? If so, what did you take with you to the hearing...it seems a little one sided to me. I have done no renovation, expansion, etc. Thanks in advance

I have had great luck with Raybestos Advanced Technology rotors & pads on my wife's Accord. It will be 2 years this summer they have been on and no problems whatsoever. They both wear very well, great braking action and pedal feel and almost zero dust. I would buy them again, got them at...

I have a friend that runs an oil field crew and they swear by LE's stuff. Industrial and diesel products primarily for those guys but I got a decent deal so 4 oil changes should put some data points out there at least for the 5w30 synthetic gasoline oil in a Toyota V-6 with relatively low miles...

VOA sample for my Tacoma 4.0L V-6. I haven't seen alot of information on Lubrication Engineers LE8531 Monolec Synthetic 5w30 so I am beginning a series of oil changes (4) on my Tacoma using their oil. I got a decent deal on a case of 24 qts. with a 10x sample kit, total miles at sample...

I have used www.1hondaparts.com in Houston with no problems. IPB's are nice and clear also (Illustrated Parts Breakdown)

There is a really good process a guy put together at TW for the transmission cooler line flush and it works like a champ; look in the sticky's. Anyway, if you are under warranty stick with Toyota WS, don't give Toyota a reason to void your powertrain warranty. If you don't care about the...

I had the same issue, I posted about it a while back. I thought it was piston slap due to high mileage and cold weather but some troubleshooting and dirt/stain tracing led me to the hydraulic timing belt tensioner. Don't milk it for long, bad things happen. I bit the bullet and replaced the...

I have the 265WT and got one of those holiday emails for a reduced lifetime update rate and I jumped on it. Mine works like a champ and is good for the traveling I do. I can't see spending a wad of cash on a replacement to do the same thing. Of course, there are folks out there who refuse to...

Yes, I let a few seconds worth drain out before the capture. I had some left over from the change back at 11K and just topped up. I tilted the axle ends to let the fluid level run down the tubes and stopped when the fill hole started a drip/run. Should be good for some time to come, seems stout...

I took the sample through the fill port using the trusty siphon tube; Redline is like gold. Anyway, lube still had its amber hue at this sampling so I was hoping to let it ride. I have had several long highway trips over the last couple of years and was curious how the gearset is beginning to...

First sample for this Tacoma 2WD rear differential. Please comment as I need to understand better the lab's Phosphorus comment and Redline gear oil. Factory fill was changed at 11,376 miles. Total miles at sample time was 39,266. Flagged data was the phosphorus level. Viscosity seemed in line...

Redline D4, you can run this in your Turbo 400 for years. One of the best out there for your equipment. You can find it at a decent price on occasion as well.

You can pick RMI-25 up at amazon in an 8 oz. or 32 oz. or gallon bottles, I bought some 3-4years ago and I have been using it up. There are a few places that carry it but Amazon seems to be the cheapest. If you mean TSP, trisodium phosphate, check a farm supply store, Atwoods, Tractor Supply if...

Amen brother, I was a helicopter mechanic once upon a time and still miss the flying. "That others may live!

I know this post has been around for a bit but, I have had excellent luck with a set of EBC "GD" series of dimpled and slotted rotors for the front of my Tacoma. I put them on at about 9K miles if I remember along with a set of their 7000 SUV series Green pads to give me the feel and stopping...

I tried a series of Sylvania Halogens in my wife's Accord several years ago and had problems with a very short bulb life, i.e. a month or 2, instead of years. I though I got some bad bulbs so I kept trying them and later found out that others with Hondas were having the same problem. I switched...

Good morning, I grew up in central Kansas as a kid so my friends and I usually followed our dads' advice and the gas station guys we saw as kids when we went to the gas station. We all used Hastings filters primarily and some others on our cars. Hastings were more available to us as teenagers...

How about Honda's J30 3.0L V6 from 2003 - 2007? Just put the 2nd timing belt on it at 214K and still pulling consistent 28-29 mpg...she works out of town and it sees ALOT of highway time. Sure has treated us right, I give it love and keep clean oil, air filter and just good preventive...

I wanted to give a you little feedback on this, I don't have any pictures to add but I did try 2 of the 8 oz. runs as suggested on the bottle in my daughter's 2000 Saturn V6. It was a factory Dex-Cool engine, and it did semi-liquify some crud that was in there and it all eventually collected in...

If you have a little time on your hands, and easy access to the block drains, use about 2-3 tablespoons of TSP (trisodium phosphate) - the real stuff, mixed with about 1/4 cup of powdered Cascade dishwasher detergent and fully dissolve into a gallon of distilled water. After you drain all the...
