Hey guys, Got A new fuel tank, pump and sender (both Delphi) installed last Wednesday. Got it back with a little less than a quarter tank, drove around and ran a bunch of errands on Thursday. Ran great. It had about an eighth of a tank in it when I headed back home so I stopped and filled it up...

Interesting find today while tracking an Amazon package. I ordered a fuel tank, pump, sender, and a couple of other miscellaneous things, and it turns out to be a UPS shipment that tracks back to RockAuto,. Some of you guys probably knew that, but I had no idea. Saved a few bucks ordering it all...

Deleted ... Figured it out.

Hey everyone, I love when sellers provide enough information to actually start making deductions on issues with a car they're trying to get rid of. Here's the description in the ad. '98 Taurus, 85,000 miles, selling for $700 because they're tired of dinking with it. Love to hear your thoughts. I...

Hey guys, what's the brand reference out there these days? Subject is head gasket sets. Felpro, Apex, Enginetech, or....?

Variety Magazine - Legendary pop/R&B vocalist Roberta Flack, who was launched to stardom in the early ’70s by the Grammy-winning hits “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and “Killing Me Softly With His Song,” has died, according to a statement from her rep. No cause of death was cited; she...

What can I say? Not the first time I've learned that you get what you pay for. One of these is not like the others. Looks like Filterbuy has a very different impression of 4" and 25" than Honeywell and Trane.

I'll start out by saying I'm a little disappointed that Ford hasn't done more for their customers considering the widespread nature of the issues with the 10r80. In my opinion, the TSB fix for these transmissions should be free, regardless of your warranty status. I've personally owned three...

Hi everyone, my 90-year-old father needs all the help he can get getting in and out of my parents' 2018 Tucson. Right now he clamors for a grip on the a-pillar to get in and out. I'm not sure if this would actually be any help to him, but what I'd like to know is your opinion on whether the...

Hey guys, wanted to get your opinions on what I should do with my home alarm. I got new windows put in the entire house, which will of course require that remote triggers be fastened to them in order for the alarm system to monitor them. This made me wonder if that would be worth it. Do any of...

Hi everyone, Looking for experiences / ideas about a good source for a complete (rebuilt & ready to go) left side cylinder head for my MitsuMopar 3.0L SOHC. Allied, Nutech, etc. Let me know who sells good ones. Thanks!

Hey guys, normally I check filters before I leave Walmart, but in this case I guess I just verified that it was the right filter (and not already used) and went home with it. Unfortunately this was several months ago and I no longer have the receipt, but take a look at what I found when I went...

Longshot that anyone actually needs one of these, but I'll take a shot. 😏 Chrysler A604 (41TE) transmission out of a 1993 Dodge Shadow V6. Purchased the car in October 2022 with 63,000 miles on it. Transmission worked perfectly, but leaked. Had a master rebuild done on it in April of 2023 at...

Hey guys, I've installed a few dashcams in modern cars (late-model Mustang & Canyon) simply by using a fuse adapter that takes place of the stock fuse in the fuse box. I simply chose a circuit that is switched, plug it into my camera and test it by turning on the ignition. The camera never...

Hey guys, talking to the folks at my local Kia dealership about a new Forte, and they're, of course, trying to shove a maintenance package down my throat. I refused, and they actually had the nerve to say that if I don't keep the maintenance records up on the Carfax, Kia will not honor the...

Interesting error I stumbled across tonight on RockAuto. The power steering pump pulley on a MutsuChrysler 3.0 V6 is serpentine. I guess I'll be sourcing that elsewhere.

Hi everyone, I've been wanting to convert the Shadow over to a manual transmission ever since I got it, and the opportunity has finally presented itself. I found a donor car in Corpus Christi ('92 Duster w/250,000 miles on it 😒) had it shipped up here, and it's sitting at my mechanic's shop...

Been thinking about a good weekend to spend doing some maintenance on the Canyon. Mainly a coolant flush and replace the serpentine belt, at 8 years and 75,000 miles, I figure it's time. I stepped outside last night in the dark with my flashlight, raised the hood to look at the condition of the...

This came through my Facebook feed for reasons unknown to me. It appears to be a legit ad on Walmart.com from one of their independent sellers "Dealing Fair". I love the picture taken sitting on their kitchen floor. Is this not an eye watering price for some really old tech? Have these things...

This is the biggest reason I don't park my cars on the street unless absolutely necessary. Many of my neighbors don't share my feelings on this and use their garages as storage units. Not sure, but me THINKS someone came through here under the influence last night.
