Is it possible to install a group 78 battery in a 03 Mustang Mach 1? If not, I am not sure what I am going to do with this thing. I bought it with the intention of installing it then I chickened out. It's been about 5 months since I bought it so I'm sure I can't take it back now to...

I'm visiting a relative who from her own description has NEVER cleaned the filter on her dishwasher nor ever used a dishwasher cleaner. The dishwasher is roughly 5 years old now. Is this something like neglecting the transmission fluid that after a certain point, if you maintain it, it could...

Okay I have had State farm for decades and was really happy with it up until the last few years. Over a decade ago when we had a hail storm they replaced the roof without a fight. This past year, we've had more hail storms and they only want to cover a minor amount and we have fought and fought...

It's time for new battery. The following are the criteria that I'm trying to decide between: 1. AGM versus flooded: AGM loses less power over time but I'm not sure How compatible a stock alternator on a Viper is for a AGM. 2. Manufacturer: in the past, I usually got about 5 years out of the...

I might be needing a different car. I know I've read complaints about the 2.0 EcoBoost. How bad is it? What usually fails? And how often? How troubled is the Ford 8-speed front wheel drive transmission? How good or bad is the 2.7 L nano V6 on front wheel drive applications? Does it have...

So my parents are wanting to remodel their kitchen and being that their cooktop has a giant crack, my mother wants to get a new one. My parents are the type who do NOT want the newest, latest, greatest or most efficient, they care about reliability, ease of repair, ease of use, ease of finding...

Before the pandemic, I remember a couple companies having a few windshield wipers product lines that were USA made including Goodyear/Saver, Trico. After looking, getting harder to find the good year/saver wipers and that Goodyear might have contracted out with someone else as Menards has them...

I watched The car care nut channel on YouTube and he recommends the OEM filter for Toyota products which I know are rock catchers. What do you recommend? Do the people on here with high miles on Toyota use the OEM filters exclusively or something else?

I finally got a new daily driver. My priorities is soft ride as possible, good performance in snow and ice (General Altima RT43 as a benchmark), smooth ride, and good lifespan. What do you recommend?

How reliable is or isn't the DTS in 2008? I know some claim that after 2005 the Northstar didn't have head gasket issues anymore. Did they strengthen the head bolts or do anything else that would prove the problem was fixed? Please let me know any problems to know about.

Someone in my family is acquiring a late '40s to '50s Allis Chamlers WD. Looking at it, the previous owner used the name brand Allis Chamlers oil filter which was apparently at the time made by Wix during the Affina era. When it comes time for that person to change the oil, I was wondering if...

I've been working on some house projects lately and thought that it's been 7 years since my last water heater has to be replaced. Last time I caught it right after it sprung a leak before it flooded beyond the floor of the utility room. Unfortunately, the room doesn't have a drain and it's in...

My friend's lawnmower gave up the ghost. He says he likes my 2010 troy built 21" B&S Quantum mower. Based off of what I've seen, it appears that Briggs & Stratton got rid of the quantum engine. I'm hearing The new engines have issues. I know Honda tends to be a favorite but I'm not sure if there...

A relative is needing new tires for her 19 Cherokee. The priorities are as follows: 1. Soft and smooth ride for on pavement driving. 2. Decent in snow and ice. 3. Reasonably priced. No Michelins, Continentals, pirelli's, Bridgestone. My gut reaction is to look at Mastercraft or Generals as...

I was just thinking about how Goodyear has a negative reputation to where no one really seems to recommend them on here and at what point they acquired the status as they to date have outlived all their domestic competitors in terms of being independent (not owned by tire companies from outside...

Like the title says, how reliable is the Dodge Challenger in a SXT AWD package? How many miles can one expect to get out of it before needing a replacement? Any thoughts on improving security when commuting it in a city known for car theft issues besides a club and club for the break as I know...

Okay, now I need to figure out the air filter I will be using. From what I can see it looks like The only filter available that will fit in the OEM airbox is unfortunately a K&N. After having read through the site for many years before posting, I know that the efficiency isn't very high on...

Okay after having 12 hours being out of power and for some reason being part of the grid where I have no power yet just about every other grouping of houses have power I am getting really sick of this. I have a portable generator, but it seems that in order to use it safely I would need a...

Okay, like the title lists, I need to choose the oil I will be running in my Viper. I'm planning on putting on less than 3k a year (mostly giving rides to friends and family and taking it to auto shows, etc.). I have no plans to track her or anything along those lines. Given her age, I'm leaning...

I'm trying to decide whether to use the OEM filter which looks similar to a jobber grade WIX or to buy a synthetic filter like a Fram Titanium, Amsoil/RP, or Napa Platinum/WIX XP. I know the Fram and Champion based designs are finer filtering vs the WIX/Napa types but I am not sure what the flow...
