    QE re Meguiar's Gold Class Carnuba Plus paste wax

    I detailed both of my cars over the weekend. Axiom was washed twice (once with purple Simple Green HD (safe for pint and aluminum, then TW Zip wash), clayed with Mother's clay bar kit and finished off with Mother Cleaner Wax that came in a kit. Used Clay bat for a first time, and quite a bit of...

    Anti-seize for spark plugs

    Aluminum heads, steel plugs. Copper or nickel? I am looking at copper Permatex 81343 Anti-Seize Lubricant 133 or nickel Vibra-TITE 907N Nickel Anti-Seize Lubricant Compound, 2ml Bullet Tube om Amazon. IIRC nickel is recommended for aluminum/steel combo, plus I do not need a full 1 oz tube. Thanks

    Leaking front differential

    2002 Isuzu Axiom, same differential as Isuzu Rodeo. Noticed that my differential was wet a couple of years ago. Did not think much about it, since dealer spilled oil past the filler cap and some spilled down on the undercarriage. Noticed it again last week. Put a cardboard box underneath. So...

    Apple looses another iPhone prototype.

    Maybe Apple should hire Mennonites to test its phones. They tend not to loose things in tequila bars http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-201011...OCmoreStories.0 http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2011/09/lost_iphone_5_apple.php

    Anyone use use Asus WL-520gC router?

    My d-link D-524 is starting to die slowly after 6 years of faithful use. I have to reboot it at least once a week to get the wireless signal back, and I was never able to get Wii to talk to it anyway. I am looking at Asus Wl-542gc and Lynksys WRT-54GL. Asus is half the price. I am looking for a...

    Got our first snow today.

    Rain and snow, more like sleet. Snow melted as it hit the ground, but winter is definitely here. Changed rear brake pads on Isuzu yesterday, just in time.

    Anyone used Wagner Thermoquiet brakes?

    Need to replace rear brake pads on my Isuzu. OEM runs $123. Wagner is running a $15 rebate, so I can get Thermoquiet for $18.80 shipped from Amazon. OEM gave me 60K and rotor is still good, so I am looking for something comparable. Thanks!

    Just passed IM test, with MMO in gas.

    Been using MMO in gas since last summer, in every tank. I just had the vehicle tested (before renewing the registration). As in all other times, passed with no problems whatsoever. This time it had gasoline treated with MMO. All emissions are within the limits. Yet another nail in the myth that...

    Any appliance/dishwasher repairmen in the house?

    Our dishwasher has become very noisy. Motor noise is very loud. I took apart the insides, cleaned out the filter screen, ran thru some vinegar to clean the calcium build up. It is better, but still noisier than it used to be. There is no water leakage, hoses are not pinched. I pulled the unit...

    Do I need to add LSD additive to Valv. Durablend?

    Called the tech line, they said no. Said that both white bottle and Durablend already have LSD additive. But Full Synthtic Syn power specifically mentions anti-chattering additive, where as Durablend does not. I already have a tube of Trans-X Positrac additive (GM 1052358-compatible additive)...

    How's Wal-Mart ST 75W-90 Syn blend?

    I have searched, but could not find much info on it? I know about the lawsuit a while back. How is it now? I won't be changing it again for 4 years/25K miles (yes your read that right). Last differential service was 4 years ago and I put only 25K miles on that oil. It was done by Isuzu dealer...

    Locktite on the differential cover bolts?

    Had to pop the cover off the rear differential on my Isuzu. I will be putting all together tomorrow. Factory RTV was gray in color, I am using Permatex Super Black. Have a question about the bolts. The cover is aluminum, after I pulled the bolts out, I noticed that they seem to have red...

    Confused by G05

    So my 2002 Isuzu Axiom with 54K miles is due for coolant change. According to dealer any green coolant will work (has green in it now, dealer did flush and change 2.5 years and 20K miles ago). I know that color is not something to go by. Axiom has aluminum V6 engine block and aluminum radiator...
