Having Maverick HD 48-inch cut with 22 hp Kawasaki delivered Monday. I was pretty much set on a Ferriss because of the ride, but there were absolutely no reputable dealers within 100 miles. Local company that's been here forever had this '24 model on sale. I drove it in a field next to the...

Replacing rear brakes on daughter’s 2017 Highlander XLE. Was told needed to put brakes in service mode. Doesn’t have EPB, so I think that is incorrect. Please advise. Thanks!

Got great deal on 5L jugs of Liqui-Moly 229.5 5w-40 oil. Have quarts of Liqui-Moly 229.51 5w-40. Would it be acceptable to mix 5L of 229.5 with 2L of 229.51 in our 2021 GLE 350?

Got almost 60k miles on OEM Goodyears so I’m looking at Michelin Defender LTX m/s2 in 265/65-18. Mainly road vehicle. Standard load and XL available. Advice please.

Got a no-crank on our 2011 BMW 528i that is a spare vehicle. Displayed ignition malfunction on the screen. Tested the 4-year-old battery and it was a little low, so replaced it with Everstart H8 AGM. Still no go. Off to our indy shop on the back of a flatbed tow truck. Dead starter. Intake...

Daughter was on her way to our house when she called me and said the AT oil temperature too high notice came on about 2 miles from our house. Of course, check engine and all the other dash lights illuminated. I gingerly drove it to the Subaru place in Mobile, avoiding interstates, and they told...

We were looking for a mid-size SUV for my wife to make hauling our grandson around a little easier. Thought we were going to come home with a late model BMW X5 with low miles. Instead, we ended up with a CPO 2021 Mercedes GLE 350 with 20k miles. Pre-owned sales manager made us an offer we...

After helping me replace the starter on my Briggs 26hp ELS, my neighbor decided to replace his on the same engine. This is what he found when he opened up the old starter, which was still spinning but not particularly well.

My 2020 Chevy Silverado RST developed a transmission shudder last week. I called the dealership and they asked how many miles I had on the truck. Told them 52k. Oh, you needed to do a 45k transmission service. Do that and it'll be okay, and the service will be $850. WAIT A MINUTE!!! The 45k...

Need advice on the best lawn and garden battery. The one I bought at Tractor Supply, their top of the line, for my Freedom Z zero turn lasted only 16 months.

Daughter is moving to Maine, which will make it necessary to replace her 2013 Camry with 170k miles. Subaru's AWD seems suited for that climate. Don't think she can afford a new one, but a 2018 CPO with 26k miles might fit her budget. Also, the CPO carries a powertrain warranty to 100k. Because...

Bought my first brand new truck since 1988 recently. Got a 2020 Silverado with the 5.3L AFM engine. I've read all sorts of recommendations about when to change the original oil. Closing in on 2k miles. What say ye?

Where can I find a pressure regulator for my DeWalt 30 Gallon compressor not made in China? 1/4 inch NPT, up to 150 psi. Thanks

Have chance to purchase 2015 Sorento that was owned by a travel nurse, who recently passed away. Only drawback is it has 140k miles. I can buy it at "family" price of trade-in value. What do you oil and vehicle experts think? They're getting service records from dealership today. It's the 4...

One of my daughters has a 2013 Camry SE that I just put new rotors and pads on the rear and new rotors on the front. Akebono ACT pads on the front were barely worn. However, she is very sensitive to any changes in her vehicle and says the car is not stopping like it should. I went through the...

Had to put new thermostat and coolant temperature sensor in the 99 Volvo S70. When I drained the G-05 that had been in the system for a couple of years I was surprised at how nice and clean it was. No cloudiness at all with a nice yellowish tint. BTW, the new coolant sensor solved a variety of...

Daughter's 07 Camry has the 2AZ-FE engine that has had oil-consumption issues. I've been trying different oils to see if anything would help the consumption, which began about at 80,000 but never reached the recall limit of a quart per 1,000 miles. It was more like 1,500 miles per quart. I got a...

Daughter's 07 Camry with the 2AZ-FE engine has been plagued with low idle since her battery had to changed. I've read on Toyota forums that the ECU resets and default to when the vehicle was new. Some people have found relief by cleaning the throttle body. Others have left the battery unhooked...

Daughter's 07 Camry has the dreaded 2.4L that can start using oil at alarming rates if oil drain holes in pistons get plugged. I noticed increased consumption as she approached 100k miles. I ran a dose of Rislone for a couple of thousand miles but only saw slight decrease in consumption (quart...

Lovely wife tried to load the 2004 530i on a guy's trailer without his knowledge. Thought it would be no problem getting it repaired. Estimate was $4k until the collision center started trying to find headlights. Adaptive headlights were $1,500 each. Insurance company (Safeco) said no way and...
