    Odd misfiring and codes on a VW VR6

    I haven't torn into a VR6 yet, but a few things come to mind. Did you use a blow nozzle with compressed air and clean around the plug wells before removing the plugs? Hopefully you didn't drop any debris into the cylinder and this would be worst case but not likely. Here's some...

    New tool thread

    Finally caved and decided it's time to get out with the old, cumbersome, HF holder and somewhat accurate gauge. I will say once the holder is tight, it does hold it's position and is sturdy. That setup served it's purpose, but I did use my smaller but nicer Starrett 81-241J towards the end...

    Best New Asian Mid-Size SUV Engine / Drive Train ?

    I'd look at the Mazda, they still use a conventional automatic. The CX-90 is sweet. I wish any SUV could be available without a sunroof though. Mazda has a very nice interior and drives well.

    bought nice 2011 Suburban K2500

    Nice find @gman2304 looks clean. Should be reliable, thirsty, but reliable. I'd take the MPG hit any day...solid vehicle 🍻

    2002 LS1 Trans am - Random low idle/stall

    How old was the fuel in the tank? I know the plugs are a bear but are they OE AC Delco? May have slightly fuel fouled them and now they could be compromised. If fuel pressure is good, and no codes, I would look at a few plugs.

    Need recommendations for clamshell bearing puller

    Puller arrived today, I was going back and forth over trying to save $100 on the Vevor. Maybe it's fine and the problems are isolated, but looking at some of the pics I had my doubts. However once I opened this, all the thoughts on saving a few $$ went away. Definitely we'll built and the weld...

    Need recommendations for clamshell bearing puller

    I ended up with the puller from Rigid Axle. The weld seems to be more uniform with other models I have seen....but not the Vevor. Will post pics once it arrives.

    Need recommendations for clamshell bearing puller

    I may have answered my own question. If you select the 1-star reviews on Amazon and look at the pics, it seems the consensus in the last year or so is the top of the tool breaking off where the main bolt threads into the top. Looking at the more expensive Rigid Axle version, there is clearly a...

    Need recommendations for clamshell bearing puller

    Or the twice as expensive Rigid Axle but maybe there's a difference in the metal...who knows.

    Need recommendations for clamshell bearing puller

    I wish I had it once before, and after not having one, I'm going to opt to purchase one. I hear what you are saying, but I do plan on using it a good handful of times.

    Need recommendations for clamshell bearing puller

    I'm fine with spending a couple hundred $$ on one, but if a Vevor is built just as well as the Rigid Axle then I don't mind saving $100...:) I don't know what is good, but I also want the tool to work, not tear up bearings or be of low quality. Will be used mainly for pinion and carrier...

    Any microwave techs here? Magnetron question.

    Yes, about .35 ohms between terminals, and 80 ohms to ground so definitely not infinite. Oh absolutely. I discharged the cap as well.

    Any microwave techs here? Magnetron question.

    You are referring to these terminals in relation to ground correct?

    Any microwave techs here? Magnetron question.

    I removed the magnetron and found this little guy. Might be why this was a floor model years ago...lol. Is the magnet isolated or can it cause a short to ground. I would assume it hasn't moved since we owned it but someone has been inside it and it has worked for a number of years...but...

    Any microwave techs here? Magnetron question.

    Our OTR LG microwave (LMVM20333BM) last time we used it, made a laboring hum for about 5 seconds after startup, then seemed normal for the next 3 min. Fan didn't stop, platter kept rotating, but didn't heat the food. After some poking around, I found the high voltage fuse was blown, also I...

    What aftermarket keyfobs are reliable for Toyota?

    Thanks, worth a try...but I think that was the same price my dealer came down to. The fob price does not include the key blank or programming.

    What aftermarket keyfobs are reliable for Toyota?

    I called the dealer today to get a price on a spare keyfob for our 2014 Highlander, along with the small key that slides into the fob....and it was just under $500. 😵‍💫:mad: Almost $300 for the fob, $65 for the tiny key blank, $45 to cut it, and almost $100 to program it. What planet are they...
