My father-in-law needs new tires for his '16 Renegade Trailhawk. We have 225-65-17 which was one size up from factory. What he "needs" is something like CrossContact LX25, CC2, AS3 or similar but he won't be happy with the look. In his head it needs the aggressive sidewall look. He is basically...

Do dealers still actually remove rotors and resurface them? I know older days they used to do that. I know I used to take my rotors (and drums) to local machine shop and they would cut them to clean them up, wasn’t real expensive. I thought for the most part now they just get replaced since...

Similar to the power tools question. My son is leaving for Virginia in about 1 month. He'll be renting an apartment for at least 1 year, no clue after that for home but does want to buy at some point. I might give him my Craftsman set from the garage. I have same set in back of my car with...

My son is leaving for Virginia in about 1 month. He'll be renting an apartment for at least 1 year, no clue after that for home but does want to buy at some point. I have a Ridgid 18V drill and 1/4" impact from HD. They get used all the time. I know his bride will have lots of small projects...

I really didn't see any posts on this. What is the OEZ by premium Guard? I was putting a bundle together to check price on AAP, I have some Speed Perks that expire in 5 days. I didn't order my PG4612EX's from RA yet so I figured I would just do a CQ Premium but I have 11 other choices. I read...

Helped out my boss yesterday. He's younger than me, likes to work on things, handy, learning, likes doing car work. I helped him with some boiler checking and ideas a while back. He texted me as I was headed to work II work overnights) saying his boiler stopped working and he thinks his line is...

This was on the PG website when just looking for something else. Many aftermarket filters had the same problem? There is no date that I see for the TSB and Hyundai-Forums had old link from 4 years ago referencing the same issue. Do you think that this still applies? Hyundai / Kia are now up to...

My wife's '19 Pilot that is short tripped about 2 miles each way, 5 days week. Also does some longer trips but mostly the short trips. Most of the test results are close except that Oil Analyzers did the GC for fuel dilution. Big difference and the respective comments. Based on first...

I sent in samples to Oil Analyzers and Blackstone from my Pilot to compare and get the GC fuel dilution from OA. The Oil Analyzers report says "information requested" for product name and filter type also option for micron rating (no clue on Honda 15400-PCX-004). The paper that I sent which...

Once it warms a bit and I have a couple days I want to do the valve cover gasket on my '17 Accord 2.4L Earth Dreams. I've never done the valve adjustment but not worried about my skills for it. I do need to get the tool and some new feeler gauges. Which one of these tools is more recommended...

I got the car used with 49k on it in November '20. PCV changed June '21 as I was burning a bit of oil, not sure exact qty. I'm now at almost 114k and 3.5 years later. I just added some oil 1/2qt to keep it topped off. That makes it 1 full qt in 2700 miles since last change. All acceptable by...

This email was sent to me. I wonder how many people will go there for that just because that's what came on it.

This is normally about $250 even on Amazon. Guy at work has one and it sounds really good IMO. Bluetooth, direct 3.5mm plug, external power plug in. This would rock the garage when you are working in there. Not sure when sale goes until, I didn't zoom enough.

Local Craigslist - Guy has another one if anyone interested, let me know. He also has sensors for $25 each. I didn't need any of those (yet) so held off on them. This will come in handy for daughter's '08 CRV definitely. Winter tire swaps need the sensors read and uploaded which is $20-30 each...

So Black Friday sales on the Howard Leight for $41. I might grab a couple more for family/friend range days and for my daughter as she goes more (need to ask color) My son wants some new hearing pro for Christmas (maybe before). He's trying to research on better for some directional sounds in...

I'm considering doing my sons valve cover gasket next week. Looks pretty easy from videos. I've never done it but decently skilled in many repairs, not afraid to tackle this. One video and a couple reviews said the Fel-Pro didn't fit quite correct for spark plug tube seals but the Mahle did...

2010 Kia Forte EX 2.0L with 187k on it. Daily driver, commuter car for my son. He heard some clanking going on so I checked. Broken end link, I think it was a Moog, didn't get greased enough or just got old. No other cars home for another couple hours. Autozone had the Duralast ones in stock...

Fighting with the Jeep lug bolts yesterday I scratched an edge using my regular HF impact sockets. I want to get some better non-marring ones also reading the DT thread with scratched wheels. From links @Trav put for other stuff and some other members listed, these KOKEN longer ones seem nice I...

My neighbor is not good at the maintenance minder thing. I did his OC in April '24. He has gone 12,200 miles. I have the filter wrapped currently so I can cut it apart some. Why did all the pleats do this? They were straight when installed. Toyota recommends filter every 10k but oil every 5k. I...

Are the Icon ones more heavy duty? Any other brands? I don't want to spend crazy $$ because I don't use them that often as I can usually use the correct 1/2" drive socket. My thought is on my Accord the Transmission fill and drain plugs only have a 3/8" square hole. Last time that fill plug was...
