Ok, just to clarify an issue I ran into on the rear drums on my 2002 beater Sunfire. Caveat, my Jack is in use so I cannot tear down the other side to look. I am quite new at drums. The driver side rear brake was locking up with little effort. I tore it down and a couple of the shoe...

172,000km on truck, 24,000km on oil. Truck deleted since 100,000km. This run was, as the title says, Co-op DMO semi synthetic 10w30 CK4. I don't have much of a breakdown, but plenty of towing and the usual frigid cold starts. In fact the last 300+ km were running in -30c with plenty of cold...

Alright gents, I'm not up on any Ford spec'd fluids. We picked up a 2004 Ford Escape from some friends, a nice starter vehicle for our daughter. Looks like it has the CD4E transmission. Now, the manual calls for the old Mercon fluid, forbades the use of Mercon V. I read that the early Mercon...

This will be for my 2017 Ram 3500 6.7 megacab. Its long winded so please bear with me. We sold our Trailswest 5 horse and upgraded to a 6 in the fall of 2023. 7400 pounds or so empty, fully loaded it's well within the capability of the truck but the added length puts a bit more pin weight on...

2006 Chev Trailblazer 4.2, 272,000km. First onset was spring 2020, abs and brake light intermittently came on while driving through slush and snow. Eventually it stayed on. Internet searches show that both lights on were related to ECBM issues and or ignition switch. Ignition switch was...

Looking for some advice/opinions on getting a brushcutter. I am essentially narrowed into Husqvarna, Stihl and maybe Echo. These are what dealers I have available locally. Looking for something with bike handles, heavy duty enough to run some sort of saw blade but can run string line as...

So my plan is to do a bit of upgrading to our 6 horse Trailswest. Its a basic weekender and currently has a single group 24 RV battery to power the lights, inside and out. It has a dual battery box, which looks to have room for maybe dual group 27s. Regardless I will upgrade to dual batteries...

2006 TB short wheelbase, 270,000km, 4.2L without the auto climate control. Just manual temp control dual zone. Back in May we found that the ac was not pumping cold. Electro-mechanical fan is engaging, took it for a drive to get airflow over the condenser with no change. I found the ac...

I have to pick up some more hydraulic oil for the John Deere 318G skid steer. I've powered a few attachments and of course one has the propensity to leak. Now I'm no fan of of JD or their prices... for instance a 30$ oil filter made in the quangdong region of China. From what I gather its an...

This is just a general shout out as I'm looking at chains for the skid steer. I have no clue what brands to even look at. So much of everything is commie block garbage and I prefer something decent. Any opinions? Thanks!

I don't have a problem, I can stop at any time..... I just don't want to. Thats my story thus far. Met a really nice fellow enthusiast today and picked up a rough parts sled (complete enough I may get it running) and real nice runner. He had restored it many years ago but used as a trail sled...

So I received several old and/or unique firearms. I am slowly going through a couple at a time. All are .22 cal. The first is the Belgian made Browning T Bolt. Its an X7 date code so that might be a 1967. There are a couple scratches on the stock but not bad enough that I couldn't steam them...

Hey guys just looking for any experience with this tire, that and the Discoverer AT3 XLT. I am replacing the burnt out Duratracs (got just shy of 4 years, 80,000km) on my 3500. 275 70 18. While the Duratracs were great, they have increased more than 100$ a tire and quite frankly are ridiculously...

So my 2000 polaris magnum is in need of some seals. The strut seals on one side are seeping a bit now but may as well redo all of them. Other than polaris oem, any other brands people recommend?

So a bit of a back story. 2017 ram 3500, ISB6.7, 106,000km. Its been deleted since 100k. So please bare with me. A couple weeks back it threw P0111, which indicates issues with the IAT sensor which is mounted on the air box. Pulled the sensor, it looked just fine, clean and provided...

Just a thread starter. For no other reason than to talk. So my dad tells me he traded his Cooey bolt action repeater off for thjs rifle. He figures it was 1955 and he was 12. This was in a little general store in Quinton, Sask. I know it was the very late '90's and the store was still open to...

just some info for anyone with the AS69RC transmission in Ram HD pickups. I had priced out the factory, Denso made filter at various dealers and found them ridiculously overpriced at 120$. The warranty maintenance schedule requires a new filter every 96,000km. Not a bad thing but I hate getting...

my wife picked up a little project for the acreage today. Higher mileage unit with winch and stout snow blade. So I got a few questions. I am not worried about using Polaris spec fluids, other than a litre of chain case oil and a small bottle for the hubs that came with it (nearest dealer is at...

So I got this old thing that seems to be passed down from person to person. An old buddy had it for years, gave it to some neighbor because it wouldnt run. Then that guy couldn't get it running and gave it to another guy who gave it to me. It leaked fuel, needed a spark plug but overall it...

Well gents, looking for some buying advice on a rear tine tiller. The biggest need is to tear up sod to start a large garden plot. I will be putting it to some hard use, not that our soil is rocky. Looking at 16 to 18" width. Not sure what is really a good brand to even look at since most...
