The 200oci thread got me thinking about this. Our LS MT232 specifies only a hydraulic filter change at 50hrs, the full fluid change isn't till 500hrs. It seems that it's in the minority and most other manufacturers want a full change at 50hrs. I asked the sales guy if they've seen any issues...

This thing has me debating if I want to save it. Won't scrap it but might throw it back under a tarp. This might be one of the last good lawn tractor, non-hydrostat. Maybe this is a just rant.. but I've never seen a Briggs do this. The long story.. This Craftsman was my grandparents neighbors...

Looks like we joined the club. Picked this up tonight. First one I’ve purchased, I inherited a original golden 39a and used dads shotgun on occasion. The old 39a has a burr and needs worked on. This will be my sons when he gets old enough in a couple years, he got annoyed quick with the old gun...

Picked this up today.. Dad's had it in the barn setting for years and I'm hoping to use this on the new place. In the mid 90's he gave up on a lemon Echo and the trusty Homelight just couldn't cut the big stuff. I think it was only used for 2-3 seasons till they put in central heat and air. My...

Signed the papers on the BMW on Oct 7th but picked it up on the 8th.. and finally got the KS tag today! Got to say this process ran into a issue with every variable along the way. Never had to wait this long for a plate for any vehicle prior. This is the update to the other thread. It took 6...

Found a property we liked and just put in for a land loan. I know people do this all time but I'm as nervous as a alley cat. Paid off our house 5-6 years and over the years have pretty much rebuilt it. New kitchen, two new bathrooms.. only a couple sections are left to finish. It's a small...

Unless it's a year or two expired I now have a new outlook on expired temp tags. Licensing a vehicle is such an archaic process. Took the dealer we purchased the BMW from 6 weeks to get us the titling paperwork. I had to finally email them asking what the status was and it was done that day, aka...

Haven't even got it licensed yet go figure, guess I shot myself in the foot getting no warranty. I know I didn't hear the noise when we test drove it but it was still hot then. Around 30-35mph sounds like a wheel bearing BUT if you let off the gas it goes away. I'm starting to notice it at...

Had a older Viofo A129 that I swap between the RV/Escape but wanted to permanently mount a dashcam in the BMW. Got to say really like the Viofo dash cams. Granted I haven't used any others but didn't see a reason to switch. Got to turn the audio off LOL, the audio was default off on the old one...

With the Focus breaking the inner tie rod and our oldest hopefully getting his license Friday we decided it was time for something newer. Wife always wanted a BMW so decided to splurge. Has 43k and every service record at the dealer we bought it from. Oil changes averaged around 8k, just had the...

Story of my life chasing out of rounds tires, chased out round Primewells on the RV's and costed way too much. Bridgestones fixed that! Now on to the Festiva. Upgraded to 13's since 12's used to be hard to find, really should of kept those rims now that 12's can be found. 165/65/13 matches the...

02 Focus with 186k.. Wife heard a loud snap, she doesn't think she hit anything but thankfully she was able to get to the shoulder. I can't get it to move so seems froze up. The boots have torn up for years, weird our 04 Escape boots seems fine. Guess I'll fix it since it'll be less than $100...

Getting to the last section of the house. Previously had carpet. Never had stairs beyond basement stairs so not sure what would be the best finish. Thinking of just sanding the 2x6 tread and toe kick. Clear finish the tread and paint the toe kick white. Or should I just replace the tread with a...

I’m not good at these readings no matter how many charts I look at. This is on a 2 cycle 80cc scoot. Running a 115 main jet now. It doesn't seem to have the top speed as the original carb, runs and starts better though. Seems to vibrate more with the 115 than the 110 jet but has a little more...

How quick you can forget how loud gas mowers are when haven't had one for 4 years. Amazingly the neighbor finally mowed their yard, that sometimes happens between rarely and never. My wife asked me why is their mower so LOUD, I had to tell her that's normal. With ours one can sleep right through...

Anyone else run the Wagner SX line of brake pads? Specifically this is on our 05 Jayco Escapade on a Chevy Express 3500 chassis. I'm about done with these pads and going to toss them! Seems like a waste since there only 3 years old and less than 30k, alot of pad left. But these pads SQUEAL...

Great grandma was telling our 16 year old she's saves her money. I couldn't resist.. Grandma.. And we all thank you for saving! I've been making grandma laugh and shake her head for 44 years.

I’m scratching my head on this one. I’m no disc brake expert but Ive changed 5 or more over the years. Got the shoes changed identical to how it was before. Verified by pics and comparing to the other side. Spins freely till you tightened the drum down. Has a screw that we were using to test...

Just got back from a long trip to AK with our RV, so we were around alot of RV's of all types during this time. Most of these were newer on Ford's E-Series chassis with the 7.3L. On startup those engines are LOUD and kinda sound like they have a cam at least for a few seconds. This wasn't just...

Anyone with know how when it comes to Chevy Hydroboost brakes? Got to say the RV on a 04 Chevy Express 3500 chassis isn’t liking Alaska one bit. It’s throwing curveballs out of no where. Ever since we got it 11 years the brake pedal has always had maybe 1/4 of play before the brakes started...
