Good day All As most of you know, I'm currently building a Factory Five Roadster. The link is here ->https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/project-cobra.391098/ Anyway, I'm looking for some input on the wiring for my car. The kit I purchased came with an aftermarket wire harness, and I...

Cut open the 2 under bed filters on my Cummins Ram today. I had 9,300 miles and 2 years on them. I changed the underwood filter as well. It had 19,250 miles on it and 3-1/2 years. Just my $0.02

Well as the story goes for my 16th birthday I asked my mom for a Cobra. I was wanting a Mustang Cobra. I got this scale model AC Cobra as a gag gift. I loved the look of the car and have wanted one ever since. Well, almost 32 years later I’ve made my dream come true. Yesterday I picked up a FFR...

Hey All! I thought I would post here for a few tidbits in case I am missing something. The problem Kid calls from college the other day, dad the Jeep is making a horrible sound! Turns out it is the serpentine belt squealing on the AC compressor pulley. The pulley is not turning at all, AC or...

Happy New Year BITOGers! I wanted to reach out to this board for some input on my 3.6L situation. We have a 2014 Chrysler T&C with the 3.6L in it. The van was bought used in May 2017 with ~34K on it and has ~94K on it now. The problem I have is we traveled home from Canada yesterday after a 10...

Good day BITOG’ers Let me start with my wife thinks this whole idea is a bad plan. “Let me go on the record as saying this is a bad idea”. Ok I hear her but help me out! I’ve done some research on lawn leveling and I’m looking for feedback on anyone who’s done it. I have a pretty bumpy yard and...

I shared in the small engine oil change forum that I changed the oil in my Wen 56380i inverter generator. I usually go ~100 hours on an oil change. This UOA says I could go much further given the TBN that was left. Other than the drop in viscosity I don't see much wrong with this sample. The...

My son is going to change the oil in his 2023 Ram 1500 Laramie with a Hemi. He picked Mobil 1 5w30 and an AC Delco PF48. Walmart didn’t have the Mopar filter in stock. I bought a spare one of these to cut open for my own curiosity. It seems like a decent filter probably made by ECore…? It was...

Here is the C&P for my truck filter. I changed the oil earlier this month. Out was Mobil Delvac 1300 15w40 and the MO-285. This fill was a Fleetguard LF16035 and Mystik JT-8 15w40. I did notice a slight tear on the pleat next to the seam crimp. It was tore away from the end cap on both ends...

Good morning folks. Here is my latest sample from Blackstone. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this one giving the driving conditions the truck is seeing currently. The EVIC came on ~7,500 miles as usual and I changed the oil shortly after. The details of the oil change are in this post...

I bought 3 of these LF16035 oil filters off Amazon for my 2012 Ram Cummins. I will be putting one on this weekend so I decided to cut one open just to make sure they aren't knock off's. I think this filter looks legit. The media had some tacky substance on the back between the mesh and the...

Good day, All. See my latest Blackstone oil sample. This oil change lasted 9,580 miles based on the EVIC OCI. The numbers seem reasonable to me except the viscosity has dropped a little. This is why I use 5w30 in my vehicles, so when it drops it's still above the recommended grade of 5w20. I'll...

Changed the oil in the wife’s mommy missile, 2014 Chrysler T&C yesterday. Out was Citgo FS 5w30 and MO-349 filter In went Citgo FS HM 5w30 and MO-349 Filter looks really good IMO for 9,580 miles. I’ll be sticking with the Mopar brand. They are the least wavy I’ve seen after this type of...

I posted the oil change earlier but here is C&P for an FL400s off our 2005 Jeep GC with the 3.7L. OCI was right at 5k and 9 months. Vehicle has 180k miles on it. Body is a little soft from the Midwest salt but the power train is decent. Just my $0.02

Changed the oil in the wife’s mommy missile, 2014 Chrysler T&C Out was Mobil Super Synthetic 5w30 and MO-349 filter In went Citgo Synthetic 5w30 and MO-349 Filter looks good IMO for 8,500 miles. Just my $0.02

I changed the oil in the 2005 Jeep today. Out was ST FS HM 5w30 and Purolator One filter. Back in was a Frankenbrew 50/50 mix of ST FS HM 10w30 and Citgo FS 5w30 and a Motorcraft FL-400s. Filter looks pretty good IMO. No signs of tears and just slight wavy pleats. Just at 5,000 miles on this...

Anyone on here have a JD LT150 (or LT160 to LT190)? I am wanting to mount a snow blower to my tractor and I'm having a heck of a time doing it. Local dealer said they are obsolete but they have a blade for the LT150. I told the dealer I would prefer a snow blower, but dealer said well they are...

Hey all I’m getting tired of forking over ~$140 per month to Direct TV and another $160 per year for NHL center ice. My kids are telling me to get Hulu and ESPN+. That would solve my issue for about ~$20 per month give or take. Here’s my questions… 1. Does anyone know if you get hockey night...

Latest sample from Blackstone. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this one. I ran just a little longer than last time and still yielded good results In think. It seems like the short block has finally settled in after ~45k miles. About half of this was towing our TT so some good use. Some of the...

C&P for my truck filter. Out was Mobil Delvac 1300 15w40 and the MO-285. Same went back in and on. Looks pretty close to the last on I did a C&P on… Just my $0.02
