    Are vehicle owners leaving their tow ball in place subject to to insurance fraud?

    Oh, please. You walked into a stationary object. It's your own fault. That's like suing a grocery store when you walk into a candy display. Or suing the auto parts store when you walk into an engine block displayed in an open area. Or suing a homeowner because their mailbox sticks out...

    Intermittent Torque Converter Lock Up -1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ - AW4

    Sorry so late to the party, only signed up a few months ago after reading for years. Excellent. Glad it's working well. I do note that no one has asked the mileage on your Jeep. (Might have missed it though) Transmissions are designed for clean fluid. For the Jeeps I've had in the past, a...

    What is the danger of using one of the newer oils in old vehicles

    Maybe nothing, or maybe accelerated wear. If you want to (potentially) sacrifice your engine for science, let us know how it goes. With UOAs! Is this the 2.4? I never went thinner than 5w30 on ours; no issues.

    Need to learn how to do Oil changes I guess

    Ramps plus a couple of youtube(tm) videos and you'll find how easy it is. Also, getting a mechanic's creeper will make a huge difference in QOL

    Terrible picture inside oil pan (2001 Silverado)

    Title does state that...guess you missed it? Looks like an upside down oil pickup to me; maybe OP can clarify?

    Idiots that drive with hitch balls attached…

    The title of this thread should be changed to "Idiots with no integrity that hit you and run in a parking lot". I agree with the member that said you should check with the security cameras of the shopping area. Soon. Because they may not store the images for very long.

    Panhandlers at absolute perfect choke point- family in real need or hustlers/ con men?

    They're professional beggars. Been going on a long time; my dad used to give a guy at the subway station some pocket change, until one day he came out of work late and saw the guy look around, get up and get into a limousine! My personal stories-- Had 2 guys in a median strip begging for bus...

    Earth, from about 4B miles out...

    Hmmm well we're still receiving transmissions from Voyager's very weak transmitter at, what, 24 billion km away? But don't take my word for it: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/voyager-1-is-24-billion-kilometers-away-how-much-longer-can-it-survive/ar-AA22qNnf ...and let's agree to...

    Earth, from about 4B miles out...

    Except that ours is the only planet in the system spewing out radio waves and other emissions. But it WILL take quite awhile to get here, since radio waves will take awhile to get there...however far "there" is.

    Most braking done by the front wheels?

    Bingo. "Trail braking" by having the rears doing more work under light application has become a thing. Add this to the fact that many manufacturers haven't upgraded the rear brake size (hello 5th gen 4Runner, talking to you) and we've started to see quicker rear brake wear.

    Which is the latest BITOG Darling of the filter world?

    Microgard Select are installed in our vehicles. All through the Purolator, Fram, Amsoil, now Wix, and the rest of the filter drama, they've remained steady in quality and cost. If I'm not mistaken they're manufactured along with the Carquest.

    Struggle to commit to a 10,000Km oil change interval

    Can't agree in all cases. Turbo/DI vs NA/Port Injected is one case. Short trip vs highway is another. Some engine designs are better suited to shorter intervals. Only a UOA can say for certain if your interval is safe (in the case of a longer interval) or a waste (in the case of a too-short...
