    What do you use in your ultrasonic cleaner?

    Zep Citrus degreaser concentrate. Best stuff I have found to use in the ultrasonic cleaner. It's about $15 a gallon at Lowes.

    Anyone still use Mobil Super 5k?

    Last time I used that is when AAP was clearing it out for 5$ for a 5 qt jug. I grabbed as many as i could buy.

    Foam filled tires

    Haha I tried that a few years ago with some great stuff. Absolute fail. Ended up buying a set of these flat free type front tires...

    Anderson - gone

    Anderson made lowers and AR's for MANY other BIG name companies. Cracks me up how some folks like to trash their name when they don't know even know what their taking about...

    Anderson - gone

    Anderson made great mil-spec lowers. I'm glad I bought several when they were $40.

    Subaru Crosstrek?

    Picked up a 25' MY. The 2.5L is adequate and the CVT seems decent so far. I like that they use a decent size fuel tank in these. That was our biggest complaint for the CX-30 we had.

    https://zep.com/products/zep-heavy-duty-citrus-degreaser-and-cleaner-1-gallon-removes-oil-grease-adhesive-and-kitchen-soil-zucit128ca This is the best stuff I have found for the ultrasonic cleaner.

    TOYOTA OIL DRAIN PLUG GASKET

    I use a torque wrench and use the specs from FSM's whenever possible. So, yes, even on the engine oil drain bolt. I break things all time, so I like to think of this of a way to save myself from me...

    2019 Yaris (Mazda 2) long crank before start

    Well the new HPFP did not solve the problem. Regardless, at almost 200k, it was probably a good time to install a new one anyway. I picked up a Crank Position Sensor and put that in yesterday. Fingers crossed, but it's looking promising so far.

    My new 2025 Subaru Forester Limited

    On a side note rant... These arn't 70's muscle cars. I'm not a fan of them putting the white lettering of the tires on the outside sidewalls. Reminds me of old school BFG Radial TA's on a 70' Chevelle.

    My new 2025 Subaru Forester Limited

    So we ended up trading the Crown for a 25' CT. The Crown was a great car but we live on a dirt road and it wasn't a good fit for our living conditions and the 21" wheels were getting beat. Now Rob had to make me mad after seeing that awesome color on the Forester... Now I wish I would have done...

    Toyota Corolla transmission fluid level

    I wouldn't trust a mechanic that says an inch over the fill lines is ok... I have two 09's with the same transmission. You want it warmed up and make sure it has been throuth the entire gear range on the shifter. Check it in Park, it should not be over the top line for the "hot" section.

    Welding helmet recommendation

    I just found that I also have one of these also https://www.arccaptain.com/products/arccaptain-large-view-auto-darkening-welding-helmet-true-color-welding-helmet I haven't really used it much, because I remember that I had a difficult time getting it adjusted to work to my liking.

    Welding helmet recommendation

    I have the Jackson BH3 and the Yeswelder one that @cptbarkey mentioned. I use the Yeswelder one 95% of the time. Mig and Tig primarily.

    2019 Yaris (Mazda 2) long crank before start

    That one of the thing I was looking into also. I purchased a HPFP to try first. If that doesn't do it, I'll pick up a CPS next. Thanks.

    2019 Yaris (Mazda 2) long crank before start

    I've run the redline complete fuel system treatment and a couple cans of B12 Chemtool on a few different tanks of fuel. I believe this should have cleaned it up if something was dirty in there.

    2019 Yaris (Mazda 2) long crank before start

    That was another possible thing I was thinking, a leaking fuel injector.
