I have a 97 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) with the 4.0 that is shedding fine metal into the oil so I've been researching engine re-manufacturers. The engine had a new cam and lifters installed around 2-3k ago ( chasing a tick and low vacuum) and I think something didn't seat right and is getting chewed up...

Picked up a 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk this week to take over DD duty from my 97 Jeep Cherokee. I want to preserve and continue building my XJ for more heavy off-road as well as save it from he road salt. It still has surprisingly little rust for a MN Cherokee. Pretty crazy end of year deals...

I've been looking at mid sized trucks to fulfill the following duties: -Homeowner~ New home so we take lots of trips to Home Depot etc to pick up mulch, dirt, plants, wood for shelving etc. Also runs to the compost heap with grass clippings. - Camping~ We camp multiple times a year and every...

I have a 2013 VW Golf TDI, 83K miles, that I typically use to commute to work and run errands etc, usually 40 miles a day so it gets up to temp during my driving. My office has converted to work from home with the current world issues, kids school cancelled etc so I won't be driving it for...

The girlfriend and I purchased a new home, around 1/4 acre yard. Sold all my power equipment when I moved from my home to her town home last year. I had a Honda mower with the GCV160 for the past 10 years at the old house, Echo trimmer the same age and Hitachi leaf blower only about a year...

I've been stringing along my 8 year old Poulan Pro ppbv25 for a few years. It finally became so hard to start I've given up. It was actually a great blower for the money, albeit heavy and hard to start sometimes. I have to have at least 5-600 hours on it over those years. I use it mainly in the...

We had a major hail storm come through my area and drop larger than golf ball size hail, unfortunately both vehicles were parked outside. One of the vehicles is a 2010 Impala, pretty big dings all over the hood, roof, rails above the doors, trunk deck, a few on the fenders etc. I counted at...

Looking for some one that knows mortgages, specifically VA mortgages. Here's the situation. I have a home where only I'm on the deed and mortgage, i purchased the home before i met my ex. I've moved out and my soon to be ( papers are done just need to file) ex-wife rents the home from me. She...

My girlfriend drinks either Kevita or GTS brand Kombucha every day and likes the way it makes her feel. I've had IBS like symptoms on and off for a few years now (generally under control) and she convinced me to try it to see if it would help at all. Some people report it helping a lot with IBS...

I've been a member of the forums for many years and you all seem like a well rounded group so I need to ask some input. I decided to leave my wife of 6 years about 4 months ago for various reasons. I had been very disconnected form her for about the two previous years and just got fed up with...

Just curious if anyone else has picked up a Diesel Gate VW? If so, what do you think? I was looking at used VW Golf's and came across an abundance of Golf TDI's on the market now that VW has been repairing them after the scandal. I ended up picking up a certified 2013, loaded with NAV...

Our 2006 Sienna that we purchased a few years back is starting to have some issues. I'm on the fence on whether it makes sense to fix it or trade it and get into something else. I'll lay out the details for you: - It has 102,500 miles, we purchased it with ~ 80K miles. We owe about $2K more...

Good Morning, I've wanted a truck for a few years now for home improvement projects, to haul stuff to the compost site, tow the dirt bikes and my hunting/fishing boat etc. Right now our 2006 Sienna does those duties, but a 4x4 would be nice for the aforementioned reasons and to take some...

We picked up a 06 sienna last year, low miles, around 96k now, 83k when we got it. I’ve slowly been changing the trans fluid out by draining, measuring the old fluid and refilling the measured amount with Toyota t-iv fluid, what it specs. I’ve done 5 drain and fills, fluid is bright pink now...

I have been maintaining our 2010 Impala for the past 5 years and close to 100K. It's at around 130K miles now, is starting to show it's age and well... I'm sick of working on it. Some more serious issues have all popped up the past year or so: - The airbag light is on. - The rear defrost...

How does your transmission shift? Are the shifts soft and laggy when warm? IE, it goes to change gears and it doesn't flare but kinds hangs for a few seconds before it goes into the next gear? We purchased our 06 sienna (2nd gen is 03-08, 07-08 use the 3.5 and diff trans) last year with 83 K...

First summer with our 06 Toyota Sienna that I picked up last year. I just discovered that the rear A/C blows hot if I try and control it from the front HVAC controls for the rear. If I switch the front HVAC for the rear to "Rear" to allow the rear A/C to be controlled by the controls in the...

Twice this past year I have had a cracked windshield from debris that has flown off a semi hauling dirty equipment or dump trucks hauling sand or rocks. Has anyone ever called the Highway Patrol to report something like a semi cruising down the highway spewing sand and rocks all over? It sucks...

MY oldest son who is 11 has shown interest and has been talking about wanting to get a old car to work on with me. He is a step kid and I think this could be a good opportunity for us to have some bonding time away from video games and modern kid life. Plus I was super into cars when I was young...

I Posted a vehicle on craigslist last Tuesday. That night and over the next day I emailed back and forth with a guy that seemed interested and he offered me a price contingent on him coming to take a look at the vehicle and it checking out per my description. I gave him some days I was open for...
