    Antisieze

    I think copper is for aluminum and stainless steel. You can use higher temp stuff on lower temp materials, just that the higher temp stuff is gonna be more expensive. I have a large tube of the silver cheap stuff and a small bottle of the copper stuff. For my purposes they are both more than...

    Air France A380

    Man, I remember how ground breaking they were/are and all the technical achievements that had to take place for them to take flight. That's a darn shame.

    Exploded view needed: 2014 Infinity qx60 Middle row Passenger Side Seat

    Exploded view needed: 2014 Infinity qx60 Middle row Passenger Side Seat The seat will not fold up anymore. It will scoot forward and backward and will recline, but it appears that the cable that disconnected it from the tracks has somehow come loose and when that lever is pulled it only...

    This has to be the worst fuel filter made.

    Can't believe I'm recommending a FRAM, but Walmart used to carry some clear FRAM branded ones (been years since I actually looked to see if they still carry them) I've used them on generators and lawn mowers. Probably not the best, but it may get you back up and running. Never had one swell up...

    Grand Caravan buying

    I'm in the same boat... or will be here soon. Taking a look around. Buying a used mini van scares me as I know how hard they are used. We went through a few when I was a kid.

    Break free LP

    Been using Break Free LP since I found it on the shelf of a local gunstore about 5 years ago. I use it on all firearms before I store them. I don't get to go shooting as much as I used to so I wipe things down, run a patch with it through them followed by a dry patch and they seem good to go...

    What Half Ton Truck?

    +1 for buying on condition at that price. At $5k you are going to be looking at some really used up trucks. For that price I'd shop around for personal sales. Look for retirees who are trying to get rid of their ride. It may need tires and seals, but will otherwise be in great condition.

    Any Maxlife 15w40 diesel oil fans?

    I've used Maxlife 10w40 in several "beaters". I also use it in all my lawn equipment. I'm currently running Maxlife 10w30 in my 1998 F-150, 2004 Nissan Xterra, and 2004 Lexus RX-330 I haven't used the 15w40 diesel oil, but from my experience Maxlife is extremely good at what it does for the...

    Space heater burnt smell

    +1 clean it well. I use Windex on mine when I use them. Anything, including dust, will make them stink as it burns off slowly. I used to use them every winter in the cheapo apartments. I'd only heat the room I was in and turn the rest of the apartment to ~60-65 They do smell a little the first...

    AR Pistols - accuracy and utility

    I'm currently building a 7" 5.56 Wylde barreled pistol as a range toy and to see if I really like the idea. Might build a shorter .300 blackout if I like it. If you can work on a car you can build a AR-15, but be careful as it's addictive. I'm not going to poo poo on the Judge, (which has...

    Welding question

    if it is the flux core wire welder you will want to have clean bare metal to weld to. It SHOULD weld well enough for that, but make sure you clean everything first with a grinder, the wipe down with acetone. If possible you may want to heat the surface you are welding to so that the welder has...

    1 Mower, 2 blades?

    Thinking about getting a new blade for the mower so that I can rotate them. I'll have one sharpened and once a year exchange it for the one that has been dull and used. I have a 10 year old toro recycler, I run 40 weight high mileage oil in it an it runs like a dream. Just go with OEM blade...

    ...And 3 is a crowd

    "Two is company...3 is a crowd" Now that we are contemplating a 3rd kiddo I'm wondering how to get them around We already have 2 SUV's and a truck. But they all have 2 rows of seats and cannot fit 3 car seats on that back row. So I'm going to need something with a 3rd row of seats. Kiddo #3...

    Choice of .357 SIG Ammo

    After studying pistol and rifle ballistics for awhile and their terminal effects I've come to really love the design and ballistics of the .357 Mag and .357 sig. Anything at normal velocities within these caliber designed for social work will be good. Both calibers have enough velocity so that...

    What are the loud booms?

    I knew some folks who lived about 20 miles north of Ft. Hood while in college. At night the sound from an Abrams firing at that range would be a low thud, very unique, the low frequency would penetrate everything. Having friends who lived in South Texas when the Space Shuttle came apart, it...

    0 oil pressure for 10 seconds

    Maxlife is a synthetic, but it's pour point is -40 degrees F if I remember correctly. -32 F is getting close to that. +1 for some kind of block heater. BTW, Even if it is just a shop lamp with an old school 60 watt incandescent bulb placed under the oil pan 20 minutes before driving, I've heard...

    PDX1 And Underwood .357 Magnum Ammo?

    The great thing about a large .357 mag is that it is at a power threshold that most hand-gun calibers cannot attain. Cheap green-box Remington, in 110 grain and 125 grain Semi-jacketed Hollow Point varieties, are capable of damage premium rounds of other calibers can only dream of. Yes this is...

    Garage Door opener lighting?

    So I recently repaired the motherboard to our garage door opener. And in the process the cheap plastic covered crumbled in the process. I taped it back together, spray painted it, and got it back up. (Incredibly cheap plastic in a hot garage in Tx) Today I came home and it had fallen off taking...

    Corrosion Test

    Sounds like a cool test. I guess you now get to take 1 pic a month. Then at the end of 6-12 months you get to do a lot of detailed pics and write up. If you are really bored you can go longer than 12 months.
