    2015 10th gen Impala trans fluid check/change

    2015 Impala LT V6 10th gen With just over 100K, it's due for another fluid change. I bought it used and the 1st service was done at 45-50K. The manual states checking the fluid is difficult but I have a cap and dipstick....:unsure:. Does this trans have a filter and is it serviceable...

    Quality aftermarket toner for Brother color laser printer

    Just wondering if there are any high quality compatible options for my Brother color laser printer. For the record, I don't mind paying for genuine Brother toners, that's what I have always used, but for some high workload projects where the best quality isn't a priority, I may try some...

    Need torque spec for the four front crossmember bolts of a 2012 Yukon

    Pretty sure all GMT900's are the same, but I have a slight creak a few months after I changed my front diff, had to remove crossmember and I thought I had it tight I have new diff mounts, those are torqued, but 2 of my crossmember bolts could have been tighter IMO...maybe that is the issue...

    Is Dexos 2 safe in a 2012 Denali 6.2

    Curious if a 5w-30 Euro Dex 2 is safe to use in a Dex 1 LS3 6.2 with AFM, motor has 130K Was thinking on the Penzoil Euro L 5W-30. Nothing wrong with engine, just toying with options. Motor loves Redline, but curious to other slightly "heavier" oils with higher HTHS. (edited)

    Can I use a cable lug crimper for air compressor fittings?

    I have a Temco TH0005 hydraulic hex die crimper and was wondering if it can be used as a brass ferrule crimping tool for air compressor fittings. This is the tool and dies it uses. I've seen ferrule dies that are similar but unsure if they would fit. Could I use a hex crimp on an brass...

    Electric pressure washer decision

    I'm debating the SunJoe SPX3000 or the Active 2.0. I know the Active is much, much more capable than the SunJoe, but I'm only needing it for spraying off vehicles, undercarriage, muddy ATV, and maybe some dusty film from the siding around the porch, very light dirt and dust. Won't be used for...

    2WD ATV snow tires

    We have a smaller Grizzly 125 which is 2WD, looking for a good tire for the snow. We have some hills, and I'm thinking the Carlisle Trail Pro isn't the best option. Thinking about the Kenda Bearclaw but curious to what others have had good success with. I want to speculate that some...

    2015 Impala lug nuts don't fit socket anymore

    2015 10th Gen Impala, went to remove the wheels and the socket barely goes over the chrome caps. ?? I've had the car for almost a year but 1st time needing to remove a wheel. Pretty much all the lugs are like this. 22MM, no chance, 7/8" still no go, 15/16 goes over but too loose to use...

    Speedometer error on Toyotas

    We've owned 3 Toyotas in the last 8 years, Sienna, Corolla, Highlander, all newer than 2005. All of them register 2-3 MPH high, with new tires. Am I just the odd man out or have others experienced this? Makes me wonder if true....good standings with insurance companies but that's purely...

    Are the "My Chevrolet" and "GMC" apps no longer working for Android?

    Nice to know the location and when the vehicle moves especially with the new drivers, but seems those apps aren't supported anymore? This is for a 2015 Impala. Are there other means?

    I have always loved to watch F1 but....

    ..I'm sick of seeing Verstappen achieve a double digit lead within the first 20 laps. Yes, he's a fantastic driver on a great team, but how can this car accelerate away from the pack, even at start with no other car having a chance? Even if he's behind after a pit, doesn't matter what car he...

    Current Keurig K- pod prices in grocery stores

    I generally buy these at clubs but was looking to pick up a box while getting groceries. Hovering around $1 per K-cup pod??? Some higher than $1 per.....to each their own but that's enough to price me out of these lol. I get it, you can close your eyes and point at a product that's gone crazy...

    2012 Yukon headlights flicker on acceleration

    All was working fine until my OE alternator went bad. I did rinse off the engine bay as I have done numerous times,with always being careful not to hose down the alternator. Within a day of the last rinse, may or not be coincidental, I received the battery light on the dash and could see it...

    Water heater upper element not turning on, is this normal?

    I have been recently chasing an increasing utility bill over the last 3 months, to the tune of an extra $100. My gut said the water heater, and this was replaced about 6 years ago and is currently a Bradford White 50 gal. Long-winded but trying to answer all questions... I figured it's time to...

    Going to build outdoor firepit, have a few questions.

    I have an area roughly 20'x20' that had a trampoline and now we are moving on. My main debate is using pavers for the area around the pit or just stone, stone would be far easier and cheaper. Any drawback to just stone,.other than having elderly members lose their footing...I figure some...

    Stihl Kombi scythe vs hedge trimmer for grass

    I have the KM-110 powerhead and need to address some grass on an embankment, as well as some weeds, and other growth. The issue I see with the FH-KM adjustable scythe, is the small 10" blade. The HL-KM adjustable hedge trimmer has a 20" blade but obviously for a different purpose. Has anyone...

    Pinion seal leak after rebuild, yoke sleeve?

    Low and behold, on my 2012 Yukon after 1K miles, the rear pinion seal of my GM 8.6" has a tiny weep. I knew I should have replaced the yoke sleeve, but it looked good and seemed smooth. The leak doesn't appear to be from the splines, also might be a void in the outer lip where I might have...

    Need advice on ring and pinion pattern.

    I think I have this as good as I can get it. GM 10 bolt 8.6" Backlash varies in 3 points from just under .005 to 006" Drive is slightly biased to the toe, and coast is slightly more centered from toe to heel. Root and crown for both look good. Drive Coast All input appreciated.

    Replacing sink and faucet assembly, what are these slots?

    Replacing vanity in bathroom, new faucet includes drain. These slots seem to be located between the top seal and lower seal. This appears to allow water to accumulate between the drain and the wall of the sink drain hole. Unless I'm missing something, but looks to be an ideal recipe for funk...
