    $1500 Ignition switch? What swindlers many of these automakers are. I just replace one on a 2010 Hyundai....$30 Jeep Gladiators are a joke. It is a Zoolander Automobile Everyone of these I think like to think they are madmax....they get the rack, fuel packs, water packs, a hilift, etc... They...

    Lawn Mower Keeps Tripping GFCI Receptacle

    Don't run your lawnmower off a regular circuit sharred with other stuff....especially if it's a 15amp circuit. Check your breaker box to understand what is what (what else is on the same circuit and the amp rating) if you have not already. If you don't know or don't have a dedicated 20+ amp...

    '03 F-150 2WD Front Lower Ball Joints & Upper Control Arm with Ball Joint

    Nice! Just use a mini sledgehammer instead of those BBQ forks if you ever have to do it again. I was gonna say, get the online Haynes subscription, they have a few pages of all the torque, oil, volume, pressures, etc in there which is crazy useful. Way to get after it!

    Rockauto bait and switch on brake rotors -- how to proceed?

    Thank you for sharing, I too am against local jobs and stores. I just don't see the point of have any local $15 an hour jobs, I mean really what's the point.

    Rockauto bait and switch on brake rotors -- how to proceed?

    I agree with all of you I buy all my groceries online because it is 100% organic, I get 3 times as much at literally half the price of Kroger. It is our only grocery store in town but someone in Miami owns it so thats another reason I don't shop there. I was talking my friends at our Tesla...

    Rockauto bait and switch on brake rotors -- how to proceed?

    Local is local man, sure better if you find locally owned but your mentality, and others like yours is why so many brick and mortor stores have closed and will continue to close waiting for the magical Amazon truck to arrive. Thanks for the dystopia future man. Another clear point is OP and...

    Ruthenium plugs

    Coils: Do you think all this possibly had to do with your coils simply not making proper contact with your spark plug vs the spark plug its self? So i have a 2 stroke outboard boat and having new plugs and new wires that are solid positive click in resistance when hooking them up makes a...

    Rockauto bait and switch on brake rotors -- how to proceed?

    I've had good luck using the online Autozone/Napa 20% discount when you order online...which they seem to run that coupon code discount literally every week. I've used Duralast Gold at the zone, and Napa Adaptive One Rotors, Pads and Calipers at napa and have been quite happy and feels quite...

    Ruthenium plugs

    I'm curious if Ruthenium plugs are really causing issues or if it's something else. I.E. a Ruthenium plug, store bought with proper gap. I've looked online and haven't really seen too much talking about issues with these. I put 4 in a 03 Camry...maybe a year ago and seems fine or better. Scan...

    Rockauto bait and switch on brake rotors -- how to proceed?

    All brick and motor stores need our business. A store next door with a person is better than a computer screen. It's a philosophy If you don't buy from a store we will eventually only have 1 option... I have Autozone, Advanced, Oreillys and Napa all in town so I mix my business amongst all...

    Rockauto bait and switch on brake rotors -- how to proceed?

    Yea man, I get it. People want what they want and always want to seek out the best product for the best price. This online stuff though paralyzes the process of what should be simple jobs. I.E. like OP just trying to get brake rotors. You can spend a month researching the perfect part, the...

Shipping was fast and zero mistakes on the order. The...

    Subaru Outback vs Forester

    I get you are a believer in the Subarus...but they are down the list on reliability and there is no real valid arguments. How many old subarus do you see on the road vs old camrys. Your last 3 cars with 42k max mileage is irrelevant...for any car. that is still a brand new car at that...

    15 clicks til full 🙄

    It absolutely destroys charcoal canisters. I learned the hard way a long time ago and had to replace it. Luckly I knew what to do and got the part pretty cheap. I bet this is a $1000-$1500 job if people take it into the dealer. I now also use the lowest pressure setting on the gas hose and...

    Serpentine Belt Size Differential

    I think you're overthinking this. I researched belts a while back and it seemed the Continental Multi-V was the best and most premium of everything. Just go to Autozone, get a Multi-V, pull your old belt off, put the new one on and move on. The belt tensioner will make up a 0.0001 inch...
