    Yokohama Avid Ascend tire issues (kinda long)

    Is anyone on here running these tires,or considering buying them? I noticed a while back the tread on my Traction T/A tires on my daily driver HHR was trying to separate. The tires had about 35K miles on them,and they rode fantastic. I had a set of these tires on my wife's old Grand Prix GTP...

    What to use to eliminate brush and vines??

    What chemical would you use to get rid of brush and vines? I'm looking for something to pretty much nuke the ground. I mean scorched Earth. I live in town so I can't pour oil,gas,or diesel out. I also don't want to burn either. I've cleared off a bunch of brush from the back of my property,and...

    You will lean to the left when you watch this.

    This dude is a nut. There's a couple of words in the video that are pretty NSFW,and that you may say yourself while viewing it.

    AC PF454 and other equivalent filters

    I've noticed that when I've tried to take advantage of various oil change specials that the filter they try to give me for my small block chevy is the "shorty" version like the AC pf454. I prefer to run the Wix 51069 or 51061,or the AC PF25 or 35 instead of the little PF454 or equivalent. I...

    Trop-Artic in an Ecotec?

    Has anyone on here used T/A in an Ecotec engine?? I've been thinking about switching to Trop-Artic in my '08 HHR. A Farm and Ranch chain here sells it very reasonably. I wish it was $1.29 per quart like it was a few years ago!!

    What exactly are "pulse" wipers??

    Wiper problems...

    My '90 Sunbird beater is aggravating me to death! I've been fighting a problem with my wipers for quite a while. The wipers will not shut off, or they will come on randomly. I have to pull the fuse to get them to stop. Also, If you try to use the windshield washer, that's an automatic blown...

    Help with tilt wheel...

    Recently I've developed a problem with the tilt steering column in my beater '90 Pontiac Sunbird. The tilting part of the column will now move side to side. Actually, you can move it in a circle now. Can this be fixed without buying a new column? I've never heard of anyone having this...

    Vinyl Repair kits....

    Are Vinyl Repair kits worth the time and effort? Somehow a hole got poked in the bed cover of my truck, and I don't want to buy a whole new one of course!

    M06 lot GC...

    Good Stuff yea or nea.... I'm currently running Gold GC in my wife's GTP and Green GC in my Formula. I didn't have anymore Gold GC,and I didn't want to get into my stash of Green GC. The closest Auto-Zone to me only had German Castrol with a lot number from this year. The last time I was in...

    Found 6 more qts. of GC

    I went and cleaned out the Hope,Arkansas AZ. I got six qts. of M0332 Green which brings my stash up to 29 qts. I was pleasantly surprised that they had any! Of course, the GC was behind some of the ancient American 0w30. A quart of Kendall was in the back of the GC. One more qt and I will have...

    2.02 vs.1.94 intake valves on SBC

    Hello, I have a friend with a cylinder head shop who has hooked me up with a set of heads. I was running a set of Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads,but I wanted to get rid of them. They made good power, but I've had trouble with breaking valvesprings and rocker arm studs. Anyway,the new heads I'm...

    Phillips 66 Trop-Artic in a Kohler engine

    I have a Sears Craftsman mower with a 17 hp Kohler command engine. I've been running Castrol GTX 10w30 with good results, but I can get a great deal on the Phillips 66 at a local farm and ranch store I believe this oil is a synthetic blend as well. My owner's manual doesn't say anything about...

    Leak after CV axle install??

    Last Friday I had a CV axle replaced on my wife's GTP after the boot started leaking. I had been noticing a couple of spots on my driveway, but I figured they were coming from my old beater because I had parked on that side of the driveway over the weekend. However, where I usually park my car...

    Scored 10 qts of Green GC today!

    Whoop! I visited 2 different Auto-Zones today and scored ten quarts of Green GC!! There was some of the ancient Ow30 in front of the good stuff in both places, so I almost didn't bother to look. Both places also had bottles of 0w30 with no lot numbers on the bottom. The bottle had the 0w30 with...

    I'm a believer...

    Today I changed the oil in my wife's 2000 GTP using GC for the first time. I had a stash of 16 qts before I started, but only 11 of them were green. I decided to use the Gold on my wife's car and the green in my Formula. I had been running M1 Truck and SUV previously and was very happy with...

    Wish me luck....

    I'm going to hit two more Auto-Zones in hopes of finding GC this weekend! One of them is one I've never visited before, so I don't know what to expect!
