Application: 2018 Lexus ES350 Installed these pads and new rotors on the front and rear of this vehicle after research on how to obtain stronger braking power on this non-performance oriented vehicle. While braking power was nicer with more initial bite than the original OEM brakes that were...

The above vehicle was bought a year ago from the original owner. The previous owner had the front and rear brakes replaced at an auto repair shop that used unknown brake components. The vehicle stops with no shakes, but to me, it doesn’t have enough bite. I was thinking of replacing just the...

Today I went to close the sunshade, heard a weird crack while it was closing and then the sunroof shade fell on me. How can this be fixed? I took a photo of both sides of the metal bar it’s attached to. One has a clip with a spring inside and the other side is empty. Not sure if something needs...

Hi, I’m looking at doing all the fluids, spark plugs, fuel filter and maybe other things that are needed as I dig in. Can anyone recommend what fluids need to be used in these? Looking at replacing the power steering, transmission, transfer case, both differentials, coolant and brake fluid...

Hi, Will be looking at this car tomorrow being sold by the original owner with 45k miles on it. Any trouble spots with these? I noticed the gas mileage seems a bit low with a rating of 22mpg highway.

I bought a 2012 Cadillac CTS4 3.6 last year as something to drive while I search for a vehicle after selling mine. It had 49k miles on it and the only thing I did to it was change the oil and replaced the front and rear brake pads. It’s an ok car but not my style as I’m more into performance...

My friend has a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder with the 4.0 V6 engine that is known for commonly having timing chain rattle. Everything was fine with the vehicle until he forgot to change his engine oil for 10k miles. When he checked his oil level, the dipstick was bone dry and the engine developed...

Hey Guys! I am being offered the above tractor for $1,500. Everything seems to be in working condition and comes with an additional front snow plow, tire chains and rear tire weights in addition to the 48” mower deck. I didn't get the exact year off of the engine so not sure about the exact...

After digging online, looks like this a typical Mercedes Benz issue. The seam is split in half. I know the seat can be re-upholstered by a shop but I'm curious to see if anyone had had anything like this fixed by stitching the seam back together to avoid re-upholstering the entire seat and/or...

Hi folks, Wondering if anyone can diagnose this issue. These are the horrid OEM Run-Flat tires on my vehicle that I've noticed pieces of tread coming off of. I'm curious if a tire shop can take care of this issue as a warranty claim or if anyone has seen anything like this. I'm attaching...

Does anyone have experience with these? Perform well? Oem equivalent? Looks like they are oem equivalents and may actually be the same as oem for a 2014 Acura MDX application I would use these on. One thing I saw when looking inside the box is that they don't come with shims. Should I reuse the...

It's time to change the brake pads on our 2014 Acura MDX SH-AWD. Looking at the Akebono ProAct pads for the front and rear shows two separate offerings. Akebono ProAct Ultra Premium Ceramic Brake Pads Part No: ACT1281 Akebono ProAct Ultra Premium Ceramic Brake Pads Part No: ACT1280 Akebono...

Hi All, I have a 1991 Chevrolet K1500 which I want to convert from R-12 to R-134a as the A/C blows warm and the R12 is hard to service especially if dye needs to be added to source a leak which this truck may or may not have. I was told by a mechanic to convert it over to the newer freon as...

I've recently bought a 1991 Silverado Extended Cab, Long Bed to use for Home Depot runs and to load stuff into this truck for transport that I would not like to put into my nicer SUV or sedan. The truck came with LT tires from the factory in size 245/75-16. The previous owner upgraded the size...

I've made a previous post about my purchase of this truck. The weather was nice and I had the opportunity to wash, wax and clean the inside of the truck. Here are few photos. It's a 5.7L "350" V8 with 3.73 Axles and Axle Positraction (G80 equipped). I have no idea why the images were flipped...

I have these wheels taking up space and want to get rid of them. I took them on a trade sometime ago and may have or may have not received correct info about them. These are 16" wheels that I was told were used on a Audi TT for one season. The tires are 205/55-16 Bridgestone Blizzak WS50 with a...

I am thinking of buying a 1991 Chevrolet Pickup 1500 C/K extended cab that I've been offered. It's through an estate. The owner has passed and the family is selling the truck. Appears to be in good shape, it's a V8, most likely a 350 5.7L or a 5.0L. Can't get much useful info from the seller as...

My friend who puts a lot of miles on his Taurus - about 30k per year asked me to help him buy new tires as I do for him every two years. The last tires we bought were Cooper CS5 which he liked a lot. This time around he wanted to be on a budget and wanted the most decent tire that will last him...

I have a 2011 Infiniti M56x with the DI V8 that requires 6.4 qts of oil. I used 5qts. of the Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 Euro L and 1.4qts of the regular Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 oil for an oil change as this is what I had on hand. I am now beginning to realize the Euro L is made for Diesel engines...
