Here again to ask questions about my minivan. Lately it’s been hesitating really bad at WOT and there is 0 top end power (>4k rpm). The floor also gets really hot in the general area of the car. It’s had a p0420 for at least 100-150 thousand miles from previous owner reports. I don’t have an IR...

Recently acquired an XJ with a bad cylinder head. Dude took it apart and didn’t want to mess with it anymore so now it’s my project. He did not keep track of which pushrod went where so, if I just put them all in Willy nilly would it cause any issues? Are all pushrods the same length on the 4.0?

Dumped the atf out of the old 41TE yesterday, and other than a fully loaded magnet (singular when I think there’s supposed to be 2) there was some brass looking metal in the drain pan. Where would brass even come from in an A/T? Judging on the gouge in the mating surface and the missing magnet...

Basically the title. Van has had 2 air filter changes in my 60k miles and I’ve fed it both Fram orange filter and the black ST. No difference other than cost but I’m wondering if Fram has a particulate advantage or if I should put another ST in it

Duracell 96R battery in my friends early 2010s Malibu. East Penn manufactured in 2018. Took on a 10 hour drive to FL and when we got here we mostly used my van instead. Car sat for 3 days and when they went to start it to take it the car went click and no start. Hood opened to find a cap not in...

Recently acquired a Dixon Ram 44. Unit is older than me and with the company being bought & killed they don’t make parts anymore! The only writing I can find on the spindle is 7383 3AF. I have the spindle torn apart (given to me that way) but the hub is basically ruined. Retrofit something new...

Just picked up a very used zero turn from some family and from what I know, the last oil change on it was the one I helped them do many many years ago. Oil barley read on the stick so I added about a quart and a half (!) of some of the remaining ND 30 they had in the garage which is what went in...

Fluid changes on A/T with unknown history, when fluid change would be good and when it would be detrimental? I’ve already done a thread on my specific vehicle and the consensus was that I could probably do a drain and fill for better shifting, longevity, etc etc. More generally, is there a...

When adding an inline filter in the cooler circuit, should the rock catcher be left in place or can the foam be removed which would completely eliminate the need to drop the trans pan if it has a drain bolt? I know the filtering wouldn’t be done on the way to where it’s going as it does in an...

rebuilt the caliper opposed to getting a new one. new softline AND hardline to the abs pump. after some higher speed driving the other day, it stank like brake fire and the wheel was too hot to touch vs the passenger side being warm but not scalding. No idea what to do but it's really annoying...

Other than being guaranteed to fit, is there any other benefit to paying 14 dollars for these? I always replace them with a cheap ST3614 ($3.84)

Basically the title. I've read here of people having really bad transmission prblems using universal stuff then the issues going away when +4 is used. What's th big deal?

3.8 Chrysler engine. Went up from 5w20 to 5w30 last fall and consumption slowed by a bit. WS thinking for the rest of the summer running a 40 weight next change (for wear and consumption), full synthetic preferred or if I should stick to a full syn 30 grade. I know this engine isn’t picky and...

2005 Dodge grand caravan. Ebrake cable broke, replaced it, and the ebrake has never worked the same since. This has been a thing for like a year and never cared enough to fix it. Was snooping around the internet and ChryslerMinivan.net mentioned something about preloading the auto adjuster...

Doubt this is “rare” and worth anything but just makes me wonder how much old unused oil is just out there. API CF-4 is the one for vehicles 2009 and older

Recently when i dumped 0w20 in my PS system, I turned the steering lock to lock with both wheels off the ground to push out the old fluid and it made a big fuss with binding noises and an occasional clunk that sounded like it was coming from the tops of the struts. Plenty of resistance too. Any...

did a drain and fill from the cooler lines underneath the car, so as much atf+4 was drained out as I possibly could. Dumped a few ounces into the reservoir and did lock to lock again and it came out less red, so I put the line back on and dumped the remaining High Mileage Supertech 0w20 in and...

Front driver caliper has been dragging for a while now, sometimes worse than others. now it's down to the backing plate and i'd like to avoid ruining the rotor while i wait for my new brake hose and front pads to be delivered in about a week. as far as I'm aware, the caliper has an M11 Banjo...

0w16 and 0w40 ST has come to hillbilly mart. The 0w16 is the exact same as the other FS quart bottles at 4.98. The 0w40 is 6.98/qt. The 5qt bottles are the same story, 18.64 for 0w16 (same as others) and the 0w40 is 26.98. No purolators in sight though.

Which one of these is not like the other?
