For some reason now, for the past year or so I have been fearing the passing of my parents. They are in good health, although older. Sense of impending doom will come out of no where and cause me to become depressed untill I forget about it. I know when the time comes it will be very difficult...

Sup guys, I got my Tbelt finished and running great, but I got another problem im sure is not the tbelt. The car runs great, same power, no CELs, and good acceleration. Upon starting the car the rpms go up to about 1500 and stay there for a good 5-8 seconds then drop down to the normal 800...

Was doing the Tbelt on the focus yesterday, had to stop today due to possible rain. I figured you guys might like this. 105k miles, previous owner purchased the car from a dealer used with 40k miles. I bought it from her with a broken clutch at 82k miles. She kept all service records while she...

My 2005 Silverado LT with the 5.3 aluminum block has never burned our leaked oil. It has 61k miles, oil has always been changed every 5k-7k never getting past 20 percent on OLM. I checked the oil, 3k on the fill, and it was half a quart low. Valve cover bolts were not loose, no engine oil on...

I am replacing the timing belt on my 2001 focus zetec at 105,000 miles. I plan on also replacing tensioner, idler, serpentine belt, and possibly the waterpump. I want to use dayco products since gates has moved some production overseas. Anyone ever have any issues with dayco timing belts? Will...

Got the brake light, ABS light, and traction control lights on randomly. Usually the Traction will light up first, then the ABS, and sometimes even the parking brake light. I verified that the fluid is correct, it is, and the p-brake lever is down all the way. I got this car used 20k miles ago...

I have always been a fan of hogue grips, and have purchased many for my weapons. I recently ordered a set of wraparound grips for my Sig p220 and was excited. The grips are made in mexico now and no longer in America. Looks like i'll have to find a new grip manufacturer, I sent a letter to the...

I installed NAPA tru-stop front brake pads on my ford focus 2001. I also picked up two new rotors total of 64 bucks cause the passenger rotor was warped, with triple a discount and a couple of cans of brake kleen. The driver side threads on the steering knuckle for one of the slide pins was...

This filter was on for 6 months and 5k miles, about 80% city driving, a couple 40 mile trips thrown in, OLM read 39%. Oil used was Chevron Supreme 5w-30, as you can see in the photos the leaf spring and ADBV were on very snug. End caps were on secured, and the seam on the media suffered no...

Oil used was Motorcraft 5w-20 Semi Syn, for 5k miles of mostly city driving. Filter held well, good bang for the buck for 3.49 at wal-mart. No problems to report.

Car was sitting for a year when I purchased it from PO, so I did a quick 3k change with chevron 5w-30, this is the wrong filter for the car, it is for the 05 and up, but the only difference is the size so I saw no reason it would hurt the engine. No tears in the media, and end caps were on...

Hello guys, I have a 17.5 MTD riding mower with a tecumseh motor. Recently the tractor has been getting difficult to start, but would if I jumped it with a battery jumper. Then it would not start at all. I jumped over to Autozone and they tested the battery and it was bad, so I picked up a new...

I got a small clunk noise when turning at low speeds and hitting bumps. Metalic clunk noise. Alignment is good, that side has a new Strut bearing plate, and both front ends have new lower Ball joints. Wondering what this could be. Thanks.

I need a basic scan tool to scan CELs on my cars when they arise, then delete the code. I want something that is good quality for a DIY, but not extreemely expensive. Any recomendations are welcome.

I am going to do a UOA on my Sierra at 145k miles, I was curious do I have to make an account with blackstone prior to mailing my sample in or how does it work? I have the sample kit already, do I just take my sample mail it in or what? Thanks for the input. I am doing a UOA with Castrol GTX...

This one is off my friends GMC Jimmy with the 4.3, I discovered possible sludge in the oil pan after transferring oil to disposal container. Suspect possible coolant into the oil, however, filter has no signs of water or excessive sludge in filter. This filter held well, pleats were pretty...

I changed the oil in my friends GMC jimmy 4.3 that has 126k miles. He was at 5k and needed a change, so I removed a oreilly fram microguard and he said that the sump started with 5 quarts of NAPA 5-30 and a quart of MC-5-20 blend and another quart of Chevron Supreme 5-30. He said it leaks about...
