    LMX Red Grease - any good?

    I never thought of even looking at Walmart. I generally only go to that store as a last resort, but never would have for grease. I may have to check ours out. Our TSC has the normal Multipurpose Mystik JT-6, but not the High Temp. Mine didn't even have the bulk loading JT6 HT that's listed on...

    LMX Red Grease - any good?

    It could be. I'll have to call the Napas around here and see if any of them carry it. I'll have to call the ones in neighboring cities as the owner of the local Napas backed into my truck in a parking lot, less than a month after I bought it, and tried to drive off without leaving a note or...

    LMX Red Grease - any good?

    Thanks for the replies. I think I'm going to send it back since, like you said, bruce, the higher Timken would be better. Tempest - I looked on Napa online and nothing came up for it. Thanks anyways.

    LMX Red Grease - any good?

    Here's what I found out about it: Grade: 2 Drop Point: 510 4 ball weld: 315 4 ball scar: .50 Timken load: 45 lithium complex It's made by Plews Edelmann under the brand Lubrimatic code# 11390 That's all I can find on it. The Timken load is much lower than Mystik (45 vs 80). Is that a...

    LMX Red Grease - any good?

    I placed an order for some Mystik JT-6 High Temp #2 grease from thegreathardwarestore.com because of the good posts I read on here about it. However, they sent me LMX Red Grease instead because they are no longer carrying the JT-6. They are sending me a shipping carton to ship it back to them...

    What sort of gas mileage on GM 3.1 or 3.8

    I traded in a 2001 Grand Prix Gt with the 3.8 a couple of months ago to get a truck. It was by far the best car I have ever owned. In 5½ years, the only thing that ever happened were the washer fluid motor died (very easy fix, about $20 and 20-30 minutes DIY) and my A/C compressor got a hole in...

    The Ballad of Cheap Vitamins and Motor Oil

    I have to agree with others that it's not easy reading and I like reading nutritional articles. However, I agree with a lot of what he says about vitamins, though I've read that stuff years ago. Basically, vitamins like Centrum and I think One A Day vitamins are very compacted to fit all those...

    Alton Brown - Feasting on asphalt

    I'm with you guys, both of his shows are great. Just as Tom mentioned, I like the way he eplains the science behind what he's cooking and not just telling you to add a certain ingredient.

    Greetings and a few questions

    Thanks for all of the replies. It looks like I'll just stick with the M1 and Pure One and see what a UOA looks like. m2200b - Thanks for the suggestion on the trannie and coolant fluids. I will have to do some searches on them as well, although my next hunt will be for air filters. winston -...

    Greetings and a few questions

    Greetings everyone! I recently purchased a 2006 Silverado 5.3L and was just going to use Mobil 1 and a Pure One filter. Then I decided to google it to see if anyone recommends anything better. That's how I discovered this site. I never knew there was so much to know about motor oil. The amount...
