I have had a Honda HRS216PDA for 3 or 4 years now. It is powered by the GCV160. It has been a decent mower but always underwhelming when it came to the quality of cut. I attributed it to the entry level model and features. It just didn't seem to lift the grass very well and left straggler grass...

I can eat my own weight in livers but just don't care for gizzards and hearts. However, I am picky about the liver that I eat. I don't like those big cluster type pieces of liver. I like smaller pieces about the size of a pecan still in the shell, or around the size of my thumb. I guess you...

We use a $40 RCA antenna mounted probably 18 feet off the ground for OTA DTV. We get a total of 28 channels (9 main channels with 19 sub channels). I like to watch just a hand full of channels, Grit TV, MeTV and PBS. We used to pay $100+ per month for Comcast cable and due to repeated price...

Our utility company is giving us a $100 coupon/rebate towards a new wi-fi smart thermostat. Our choices are: 1. Nest Thermostat E 2. Nest Learning Thermostat 3. Ecobee 4 4. Ecobee 3 lite 5. Honeywell Lyric T5 6. Honeywell Lyric Round 2nd Generation It seems most are sold at Lowes and I can...

Yes, I know there is an ATV section but I figured the cooling system section was more appropriate. My 2012 Arctic Cat 450 had been running warmer than I thought I remembered it running and the fan was cycling a lot during low speed riding and idling. I had tried to flush it with a garden hose...

Does anyone know of an OEM or aftermarket pan with drain plug? I don't want a fancy aluminum 'cooling' or extra capacity pan. I am just looking for a Dorman type pan with a plug. I have found a couple but the plug is on the high side of the pan leaving probably 2+ quarts still in the pan. I am...

I plan on changing the transfer case fluid on my 2014 Silverado this weekend. Spec is 2 quarts of Dex 6. I have a few gallons of Maxlife. Should I just spend the $10 and grab 2 quarts of SuperTech Dex 6 or possibly Valvoline Dex 6 or just pump 2 quarts of Maxlife in there? Thanks.

I changed the front and rear differential fluid in my truck today. The truck has 48,000 miles and the rear fluid came out a dark golden brown and it smelled of grapes and diff lube, quite the combination of smells. The magnet in the bottom of the differential housing had more goop/fuzz than I...

A family member's 62" Ferris was just repowered with a Kawasaki FH680V. The gentleman that did the repower only sells/uses Amsoil. He put 10w40 small engine in it for break in. $10 per quart isn't happening when I have HDEO options for $5 or less available. I figured I would spring for a Fram...

I normally use my electric smoker or my traeger to smoke stuff but I decided to try smoking with my 22" Weber kettle over charcoal. It was a huge success. I used Cowboy hardwood briquets. I put 4 pieces of oak on my charcoal snake and it worked great.

I stand to make approximately $1,000 in free money off of Chase Bank this year. I signed up for the Chase Freedom Unlimited card (1.5% cash back) and received a $150 bonus for spending $500 within the first 3 months and $25 for adding an authorized user (my wife). We just cashed in our first...

WIX update document New L83 5.3 Gen V filter - WL10255 The new filter has been discussed but I haven't seen the document yet. Appears to be from 3/16/18. Well, I guess this answers all of our questions/fears about bypass ratings on the new engines. When will Fram release their updated...

The 5.3 GDI L83 in my 2014 Silverado has a variable displacement oil pump and per GM requires a high PSI bypass oil filter: Originally Posted By: GM Today's engine has very tight tolerances, two stage oil pumps and high flow lubrication system requirements. The proper match of oil filter to...

I have a Sig Sauer P226 .40S&W that I bought almost 10 years ago on a whim. I like the gun but it doesn't fit my collection (not much into handguns) and I just don't shoot it anymore. I am interested in selling it and have an interested buyer. The day I bought it I had gone in to look at a Glock...

Long story short I inherited a small amount of silver bullion, 50 or so ounces. Knowing absolutely nothing about precious metals beyond the obvious I stuffed it in my lock box and figured I would worry about it later. Well a number of years have passed and it is now later. I have been reading...

Our 2002 Avalon has had a CEL for 12+ months, P1135. Car runs fine, mileage hasn't been noticeably affected and UOAs haven't indicated any issues with excess fuel. After 12+ months I decided I was tired of the CEL. Bought a Denso sensor, removed the rubber boots on the intake assembly, reached...

Holy smokes! How on earth can a 310 CCA power sports battery cost $105?! Even with coupons at Advance that is crazy. O'Reilly is $105, Advance is $107, Wal-Mart is $78 with mediocre reviews. I am tempted to call the Arctic Cat dealer on Tuesday and see what an OEM battery will cost. Insanity!

My usual station sells E10, E15, E30, E50 and E85. The E85 button says 51-83% ethanol concentration. I wasn't able to make it to my usual E85 station so I used a station I haven't used before. Their E85 seems to be more gasoline than E85 as my truck has obviously reverted back to the gasoline...

Long story short... My wife's Grandmother passed back in the Spring. She left 9 surviving children and was predeceased by 1 child. The estate consists of the 9 surviving children and the 5 children of the predeceased child. My wife received a US Treasury check for $100 today. The executor said...
