A friend of mine is looking to rent out her former 3 bed single family home but doesn't have the time to find and screen for tenants. I suggested a property management company but most seemed to deal with multiple units or commercial RE. Any advice from those who have or had rental properties...

Like the title says, Installed a set of Moog complete strut assemblies last week on a Dodge Grand Caravan, now it's lost the once smooth quiet ride for clunks and harsh ka-bang noises over moderate pot holes and creaking coming from the upper strut mount when turning. Especially bad when...

I need to repair a rusted toilet flange. I have access from the basement and could cut the existing 4 in. Sch. 40 pipe, add a coupler and put in a complete new closet flange. The other way is using the Oatey Moss Bay replacement flange, much less work if all goes well. However, I picked one up...

Any opinions on the Poulan Pro synthetic 2 cycle oil? The local Walmart had the 19.6 oz size on clearance for $5.00, so I picked one up. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Poulan-Pro-Poulan-Weed-Eater-Synthetic-2-Cycle-Oil-19-6-oz/43041145 I sampled the Walmart Supertech Full Syn 2 cycle last year...

Saw this on the Walmart shelves today. Interestingly, the label shows it to be SM rated but I don't recall seeing that on the container in the store but I could be mistaken. On the other hand, it is a CJ-4 so a SM rating would make sense. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Shell-Rotella...13=&veh=sem

Anybody do their own wheel alignment adjustments? 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan with an inner edge wear issue on the left from., Viewing the vehicle straight on the problem wheel noticeably tilts inward more than the right side, everything else okay, no pulling, feathering, etc. There are...

Perhaps this is old news to some but I just noticed that my local Walmart's auto batteries almost all appear to be East Penn built; fully sealed, maintenance free. Also, the Everstart Maxx have higher CCA and better 3 year free replacement, 5 year pro rate warranty yet are only a mere $5 more...

I picked up a gallon of this Poulan Pro bar oil at Walmart for $7.97 (same price as their Super Tech brand) but haven't used it yet: https://www.amazon.com/Poulan-Pro-952030...ct_sims?ie=UTF8 However, I noticed the PP has just a faint motor oil smell. On the other hand, the ST bar oil has a...

Anyone have info on the Super Tech Full synthetic 2 cycle oil? I came across it yesterday in the furthest corner of the store in the motor oil section. Can't find it on the Walmart website or elsewhere. Comes in a silver bottle, label states for use in air-cooled engines but no specs or even a...

I have assortment of vintage car parts, mostly GM G-body 442 and Grand National items that I'd like to sell on Ebay but wow have things changed, and not for the better, at least within these areas. In the past, one could do a search and come up with not only a good selection but through the...

2009 Craftsman Lawn Tractor with the 17.5 HP Briggs & Stratton Intek. It has always been trouble free, starts and runs fine. Unfortunately, today while cutting the lawn suddenly there was metallic tapping from the engine that grew louder while the engine lost power, slowly stalled and now will...

A family member of mine had a one car accident last week, the vehicle was a total loss from the damage. Needless to say the insurance company offered a low ball $2800 cash estimate for the car, a low mile, loaded, 1999 Monte Carlo in truly excellent condition inside and out. Problem is used...

I hit a stump (hard) with the (left?) blade on my Craftsman 42 inch tractor a while back, now it scalps slightly on that side, even aften installing new blades. It had cut perfectly beforehand. How do I tell which is damaged, the mandrel, deck or both?

What 12V Battery Chargers do you prefer? I'm looking for a bench top charger, preferably automatic (although a manual option would be nice), at least 10 amp fast charge, 100 amp engine start and under $100. I've done a lot of searching and the reviews are mixed at best. No single brand...
