    My new Kawasaki W230 shifts starting to feel gritty

    Probably going to drop the oil (with around 300 miles on it) that came in it and put in Mobile 1 V twin 20W50. That's what I put in the KLX230 but that bike always shifted smooth and quiet. BTW I wondered if the 20w50 would cause a hit to the gas milage of 74 mpg on the KLX. Then at it's next...

    Increase valve train noise

    Last oil change I put in Pennzoil ultra platinum 0w20 replacing the QS 0w20 in my 2019 Tacoma V6. Previous the valve train noise had been hardly noticable with the hood down. Few days ago in a drive thru, so near a wall, with window down the valve noise was very noticeable. I'm a simi regular so...

    With these new transmissions that have the tedious leveling and temp requirements for fluid level checks

    How are these transmissions surviving being operated on a grade say in the foot hills of the Appalachians for extended periods. I think it's just a dealer myth to bring people in to have their mouth breather do it for way to much money. Someone show me the error of my reasoning.

    Rodent damage '19 Tacoma $5351.14 ins quote. According to the dealership harness complete must be replaced. Anybody ever done one? Does this sound reasonable?

    Retro AR 10

    Experiences opinions anyone got one or handled one? Kind of wondering why the big price drop. The reviews I've seen are mostly favourable. DPMS supplied the bolt carrier and maybe some other parts and I believe they are part of Remington now and don't manufacture firearms anymore. My stimulus...

    Bond Arms Rowdy

    Just bought one in 410/45. Didn't need it just wanted it. Considering the rep of this maker online I was a little disappointed when I first opened the box. Every control was gritty and hard to operate. The hammer cock was almost a two hand operation. The break open release wouldn't smothly move...

    But old age and hot weather changed my mind. LOL Got this out the door at Lowes for about $30.00 under list with military discount.

    Removing pine sap without damaging paint

    Anyone have a tried and true method? Already got a blob on the new tacoma. I've used lemon pledge in the past but it smears it around more than I like before finally taking it off. Reasearched on line but found nothing with very goog reviews for my specific problem.

    New toyota automatic transmissions with no dip stick

    I have two vehicles with these type transmissions now. I'm thinking when these vehicles reach 30K I will do a drain and fill at the same time I do my regular 5K oil change for three or four times in a row. Reading and watching the variety of diy instructions on line I'm begining to get the...
