    2002 7.3 Powerstroke in Excursion - coolant recommendation?

    Not sure what to do here. The Peak Global Fleet is not lifetime so I have to drain it every few years (chatgpt says 2 years or 200k miles) and the Peak Final Charge is lifetime? This vehicle gets 10k miles on it if I am lucky it's just a lets go on a roadtrip vehicle. To add, I find myself torn...

    2002 7.3 Powerstroke in Excursion - coolant recommendation?

    Hmmm looks like NAPA has a sale and I still don't have to get off my tail nor do I need to buy 6. Saved me about 6 bucks....wondering if I can stack a coupon code. PSC might be cheaper in other instances though. I do believe that I learned about them here. Thanks.

    2002 7.3 Powerstroke in Excursion - coolant recommendation?

    So for the 6 gallons of pure undiluted I am getting 6 for $102.94 shipped. Shipping makes up about $41 of it. I would go 55 gallons but really this will last a long time since I can't use it in my other vehicles not even my ALH TDIs which is a pain. I have not seen it cheaper. Good to see...

    2002 7.3 Powerstroke in Excursion - coolant recommendation?

    So I heard that Peak Global Fleet is the right one due to cavitation on these. Does that have the SCA? I will check. Thanks so far folks.

    2002 7.3 Powerstroke in Excursion - coolant recommendation?

    Hello, I have the subject vehicle and I have been using peak global and distilled water in the cooling system since I have owned it (about 2 years and 7 k miles). I am reading that is not the right stuff but I usually buy that in bulk since I have so many other vehicles. What is the right...

    New to me 05 Ford Ranger 4x4 with 4.0 v6 80k miles what oil?

    Manual says 5w-30. What brand would you use? Dino or Synthetic? I hear that the timing chains can give trouble on these and are a bear to replace. Want to stay ahead in part through oil choice. Thanks.

    4R100 2002 Excursion 7.3 Diesel 4x4 transmission fluid?

    It just says Mercon on my dipstick but no "V" on it. Walmart didn't have the 17 gallons that I will ultimately need. Easy 35 bucks to meet free shipping criteria. To the poster who mentioned the Valvoline import. Can I ask you more about your choice? I have plenty laying around for my...

    Best high mileage oil for 2004 Forester XT with EJ257

    If it's a valve cover leak then I don't see why this car would be any different than any other car being relieved by high mileage oil. Diagnosis is cool and all, but still need to get by for now. If it's the return line again well that is a different story. I had no idea that the hood was...

    Best high mileage oil for 2004 Forester XT with EJ257

    There is an unknown oil leak on my 2004 Forester XT where it is dripping onto my passenger side exhaust manifold rather slowly. I replaced the valve cover gasket and half moons just 50k ago along with the turbo oil return line. I am short on time and would like to know if HM oil might work to...

    Control Arm bushing lube?

    I hate changing these out on my MK4 2003 Golf TDI or on any car for that matter. I just changed them out. Is there any lubricant that I can use to make them last longer? Thanks.

    Shift cable lubricant?

    Hello, I would like to know what (if anything) you like to use to keep shifter bushings and cables lubricated if that doesn't do more harm than good. I am interested in lubricating bushings/cables at the shifter and at the trans. Sure these line items can be replaced and will need to be...

    fx730v engine in Toro Zero turn

    Is this the same as having the lap bars all the way forward for top speed or are we talking about the throttle control like rabbit/turtle?

    fx730v engine in Toro Zero turn

    Thanks all. This unit did spend a good amount of it's life under dealer control as well for non engine related issues so even if I were required to change it at "x" interval I didn't have it in my possession for the first 6 hours or so.
