    Karr Auto Security

    I removed the one in the Highlander a few years ago:. One end plugs into the factory OBD data port. The other end takes it's place in the factory location. Check the door jambs. There might be a sticker, similar to this one. If you really want to know what it is, Google the FCC ID.

    Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not lewd, no gas price pics etc.

    Simba has taken to sleeping in our bedroom closet. He's genetically predisposed to Intervertebral Disc Disease (Type I). I thought a memory foam bed with bolsters would be more comfortable than the hard floor. The first night with his new bed.

    severe sludge accumulation in low-mileage engine (video)

    Customer towed his '78 (or '79) Ford Fairmont wagon into my father's shop. The 302ci V8 suddenly died on the road and wouldn't re-start. After confirming the no-start condition, I got to removing the distributor cap and observed the rotor while cranking the engine. No rotation. I pulled the...

    Jeep Death Wobble observed

    My father's 3/4T '65 GMC developed a front end shake after he swapped the 305 V6 with a 283 V8. The shake would most often occur after going over the rise at railroad crossings, He asked the alignment shop to dial in more caster. Never shook again.

    One Drive captured and stored my data without having an account (speculation)

    I wanted to do a deep dive on my current One Drive issues before re-posting. I was doing some file maintenance in my local drive; relocating/consolidating files and folders in a more intuitive manner. It was getting difficult to find where things were stored. The "search" function doesn't do...

    Honda XR600R - Big End Rod Bearing Failure.

    The XR's were 4-strokes. Without seeing the bearing, it's pretty hard to diagnose. What did the top of the piston look like? Any bent valves? Edit: Clue - the rod bearing is supposed to see oil pressure. Visual inspection would have confirmed an oiling issue.

He's genetically predisposed for Intervertebral Disc Disease, and shows nerve issues with his hind legs; slow response to the...

    New tool thread

    I have a Model 2567-22 (Amazon ASIN B09WTM9ZXF). This model is variable speed, and the ratchet head is clutched; it's disengages when the fastener is tight. I attached a 10mm deep socket, ran the ratchet WFO, and grabbed the socket (bare handed). The clutch disengaged. There will be a...

    New tool thread

    Three-eights drive, cordless ratchet. I know pretty much nothing about these things, other than I see videos of other gearheads using them. I don't know which are good and which or meh, but Milwaukee Fuel appears to be the weapon of choice. I have zero experience using cordless hand tools...

    What is the purpose of this Lexus oil pan bolt?

    The only thing I can think of is vibration related? The Lexus FSM states to replace Bolt "A" (A650E 1998-2005) pan bolt whenever the pan is removed: All 19 bolts are identical, except for Bolt "A" which has a Nypatch, so I can understand why this is a one shot deal. However, what is curious...

    Rocker Arm Assembly installation

    This is the MDX, yeah? This is from a blown up J35 (~18 minutes into the video). I would swap the rockers/shafts from the broken shaft holder (girdle?) to the replacement shaft holder, keeping the parts in order of removal. Back off the valve adjustment nuts/screws, then bolt the girdle...
