I have very little experience with FWD vehicles but I was considering changing the diff oil when I read on the WWW that the transmission and differential are one unit. Probably been integral for decades, and makes sense but to clarify, I’ve changed the transmission fluid so I’m good to go as far...

2.0 DOHC Zetec, automatic, 2 owner with 119,000 miles, timing belt has been replaced, recently passed state inspection, new tires and is very clean. Seller is asking $3,200 which seems quite high to me but considering the low mileage and apparent upkeep, what might it be worth in your opinion...

Brackets for the 68 teams will be announced at 6:00 pm on CBS. Duke, ( my team since conception ) and currently the number one ranked team in the nation, is probably going to be the number one seed in the East and most likely the overall number one seed for this year’s tournament. Let the...

From Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston Salem, N.C. 1/4 mile flat paved track. The first race at Bowman Gray was in May of 1949. Looking forward to it!

I’ve wanted a green dial watch for several years. I’ve had my eye on the Seiko Prospex Alpinist mechanical watch for a couple of years but not willing to pay $500 plus for one. I mentioned the Citizen solar dive watch ( Japanese movement ) to Santa this year but Christmas came and went with no...

My son bought me this pocket knife for Christmas, 4 inches closed, 7 inches open but with an unusual tang ‘relief’. I thought at first it might be an electrician’s knife but all the electricians knives I’ve ever seen have a sharp crescent shaped ‘relief’ for skinning wires. This tang relief is...

My son gave me a 250 round box saying it was $60 on sale at Academy. I dropped by Academy today to pick up another box of 250 rounds and the clerk at the gun counter said you can save $1 per 50 round box by buying five 50 round boxes for $10.99 each…. odd but that’s what I did. Came out to 22...

From Classic Firearms in N.C. Includes two 7 round mags, 5 inch barrel, wood grips, Parkerized finish, and carrying case with cleaning kit. Made in Turkey. Does anyone know anything about Tisas 1911’s?

Didn’t see this coming. One of the greatest ( if not THE greatest) NFL coaches of all time signs a 5 year $50 million deal at a public university. The Tarheel football team needs some help but……🏈:eek:

At the new Tesla dealership near me. I’ve only seen a couple in the wild but there’s at least 30 on this lot. The sticker pic says $87,000. One had a flat tire so i’m wondering what a replacement tire might co$t.

The alternator on my 2019 Chevy Silverado has been making a slight bearing noise for the last couple of months so I decided to get a new alternator and Gates stretch belt. Research enlightened me to the fact the 4.3, 5.3 and other GM engines have no tensioner pulleys…but how difficult can it...

My son owns a restaurant in our town. He has been soliciting donations for hurricane Helene victims and the response has been amazing! Wednesday my wife and I took our small 5x8 trailer and my truck to Canton, N.C. with the first load of non perishable food stuffs, canned food, water...

My wife and I went on another day trip today and visited the Wood Brothers racing museum located in the tiny town of Stuart, Va. About 90 minutes from where I live in N.C. and about 20 miles South of the Blue Ridge Parkway. When we entered the front doors I saw several people in the office and...

I’m surprised Tesla chose a smallish town of 117,000 residents, High Point, N.C. They repurposed a large former grocery store and is the 3rd one to open in N.C. behind Charlotte and Raleigh. They had about a dozen cars and chargers outside. I’m hoping they sell a gazillion cars!

After owning over a week I just noticed there’s no hood insulation mat on my truck. At first I thought the truck might have been in an accident and the pad had not been replaced. It has a clean Carfax but now I’m thinking being the base model Custom, GM felt that they could save a buck by...

Seems to have done its job! :oops: Never heard of the brand but I’m Replacing with a Bosch 6091C Hepa.

A follow up to my GM AFM question a couple days ago. My last new vehicle was my 1995 Nissan pickup and I drove it for 19 years then my ‘infamous’ 2005 Avalanche and drove it for 101/2 years with 248,000 miles showing. I bought this 2019 Chevy Silverado Custom yesterday with 69,000 miles. V6 4.3...

I’m considering buying a used 2019 Chevy Silverado Custom trim with 69,000 miles and with the 4.3 Ecotec engine. I’m wondering if the later AFM engines are more reliable/refined than the older/early AFM engines. Also, might there be other issues with GM 1/2 ton trucks over the last few years...

After almost 1/4 million miles on my old 2005 Chevy Avalanche 2WD Z66, the G80 Gov-Loc diff started to get noisy. After pricing a rebuild, I decided to go with a used diff from a ‘reclamation yard’. GM used these diffs in a zillion vehicles and the first yard I called had one out of a 2005...

On my 2009 Harley Superglide TC 96”. My son and I rode about 90 miles Sunday and the old girl ran as good as the day I bought it. I hadn’t ridden since mid November and At 72 I don’t ride as much as I used to, but it’s in the garage when I need to scratch the itch.
