    2025 Toyota Tundra SR Loaner - I really hate this truck!

    If driving on mountain passes, placing the shifter in S4 will help with the transmission temps. In S4, the torque converter doesn't slip, which causes the fluid temps to increase. I trailered a car with my 2019 Tundra over 700 miles and used S4 as the owner's manual suggests. Fluid temp was...

    Spark plug replacement - 2015 GM Canyon 3.6L

    The close ups and description of the AC Delco plug on Rockauto show an iridium tip but a standard ground electrode. Much like the design of the Iridium Power 5339 plug.

    Same here; some people just want to yell at the clouds. Lots of decent deals on trucks. Thanks for sharing facts.

    Understand, but two-thirds of the list are the ingredients for multiple types of buns.

    My visit to Chik Fil A

    When they first came on the menu (10+ years ago), they chopped the grilled breast and served those as the grilled nuggets. They are probably more popular now and “pre-prepared”. Either way, much better ways to eat and spend $$.

    My visit to Chik Fil A

    They were cut pieces of the grilled chicken breast at one time. That may have changed?

    Kohler manual wrong oil capacity

    Assuming this isn’t a ruse, all of the oil must not be draining out, leaving about quart in the engine.

    Hyundai Venue for work ... road warrior

    Those are good, comfortable commuters that get decent gas mileage. Unless he travels well outside of NY state to buy, I suspect any of those cars will be rust buckets by now.

    Kohler manual wrong oil capacity

    If your Kohler 7000 only takes 1 quart and all of the old oil is draining out, I would be concerned that the dipstick is incorrect for the engine.

    Has there ever been a mainstream vehicle that holds its value as well as a 5th Gen 4Runner?

    1st gen Tundra (2000-06) and Sequoia (-2007) were plagued with them. Aftermarket ball joints are usually worse in quality & faster to fail, but lift kits and bigger wheels/tires speed up the process too. No shortage of stock failures though. Poor design.

    Wix filter - inside contamination?

    Unfortunately, its the new normal for filters coming from Wix and Purolator, generally from the Fayetteville NC facility. Toss it or return it.

    Has there ever been a mainstream vehicle that holds its value as well as a 5th Gen 4Runner?

    The lower ball joints break if you look at them wrong. Engine is solid though.

    any thoughts on a 2016 Toyota Avalon?

    You are assuming that the dealership was telling the truth about the car. Most have no idea about the history, other than it came from the auction.

    2024-2026 VW Atlas 2.0

    The VW EA888 2.0T is a good engine and has been used in many cars and SUVs for a number of years. It's "tried and true". Nothing to be scared of there.

    Help me pick a 3/8” torque wrench

    I have been using the eTork clicker that you have linked. It seems to be a good one. Just make sure the range works for your needs.

    I understand better now, thanks. It was hard for me to visualize.

    installation of extended driveway without permit

    If your property is higher in elevation, why would it suddenly start washing away if your lower elevation neighbor extends his driveway? I understand your unhappiness for him not having the work done as city code states, just having a hard time visualizing the erosion issue.

    BMW 2001 e46 ignition coils - best choice

    I've had good service from the original and replacement Bosch ignition coils for N52 engines in E60 and E90 applications. I would go with the Bosch.
