    New tires with strange DOT code?

    265/70 R16 on the latest generation Frontier. So far they seem better than the OE BFG Radial Long Trials ever were.

    New tires with strange DOT code?

    Thanks for that thought. Had them mount white lettering in, so crawling under there and checking got me the extra numbers I wanted: 1319, so March 2019.

    New tires with strange DOT code?

    Just bought "Provider Entrada AT by Taskmaster" tires, and trying to determine their manufactured date. I have never seen a DOT code like this. There are no four numbers together like you would normally see to determine the week and year they were made: "DOT 1YC FAPPCR" They were manufactured...

    75W-90 to 75W-140 in Frontier C200K?

    It is an open differential, no limited slip, the truck just has antilock brake limited slip. Per that link, it looks like the main question is gear speed when going to a heavier weight. Guess the C200K gear speed isn't too fast for 75W-140? The temp here, at extremes, ranges from teens in...

    75W-90 to 75W-140 in Frontier C200K?

    I am considering switching to 75W-140 GL-5 synthetic gear oil in my Frontier's rear differential. It has the C200K that the manual calls for 75W-90 GL-5 synthetic in, but I have read on forums that some use the heavier gear oil, and someone even claimed that a warranty replacement had 75W-140...

    HVAC Flex Duct Disconnect/Clamp Shut?

    Didn't know about duct caps, thanks for mentioning! I'll definitely go that route over clamping the ductwork. One reason I wanted to cut it off at the supply is that the ductwork under the sunroom is open to the elements. I'm afraid if I completely block off the registers, it may leak at its...

    HVAC Flex Duct Disconnect/Clamp Shut?

    I've been thinking about disconnecting two 6" flex ducts from the HVAC supply line that are a few feet apart. If I went that route, I was thinking of screwing a piece of matal slightly larger than the ducts onto the supply line to seal it up. I could use metal duct tape for the edges. Another...

    Samsung syncmaster 930bf died; refurbished Acer?

    Just thought I would follow up on my findings of the narrow screen views I questioned above. I can't find a comfortable angle to look at the screen without some type of color/brightness distortion on a 90 degree horizontal, 65 degree vertical monitor. I don't know why they make these for...

    Samsung syncmaster 930bf died; refurbished Acer?

    ^ Less than half as much per year if I bought this Acer and it lasted to the three year mark. I'm feeling like I didn't get my money out of that samsung, costing me over 40 bucks per year, with its death at the 10 year mark; though I'm guessing 10 years for an lcd used often is better than average.

    Samsung syncmaster 930bf died; refurbished Acer?

    So my monitor, samsung syncmaster 930bf 19" lcd, died today. It was around 10 years old and had recently started buzzing fairly loud. When pressing the menu buttons on it, I can see a faint box, but the screen is almost completely black. I'm thinking the backlight is out on it? Anyway, it was...

    My new Coupe

    They are nice little cars. Someone should post a pic of an Accord coupe at that exact angle. It really does look as big as the Accord coupe looked a few years ago (haven't seen a pic of one recently).

    Hemorrhoids ?

    Originally Posted By: Merkava_4 I'm wondering how they were able to inflate the hemorrhoids before tying the rubber bands around them. I don't think they worry about how much blood is in the hemorrhoid before banding it, since the goal is to cut off the blood supply anyway. There are two...

    octane ratings and ethanol % in your state

    Does anyone use E15 instead of E10?

    So now everyone with a 2001 and up that wants to save a few cents will be running this. There are lots of vehicles way past 2001 that warn not to use anything more than E10. My 2009 Frontier included.

    octane ratings and ethanol % in your state

    Not too many years ago it was all 87/89/91 octane here. Then one day I was filling up and noticed premium was 93. Started checking all stations around and they all are now 87/89/93. Everything has at least 10% ethanol. Too bad the minimum octane didn't get raised any without a cost increase...

    What's a good drink that doesn't destroy teeth?

    If you're in the heat all day you probably need something to help with electrolytes to a greater extent than water would. Soft drinks will dehydrate you, so that's no good. I'm not sure what a good alternative would be to gatorade even though that does help hydrate... They do make electrolyte...

    Here's a link to the motorweek catch can video for direct injection that I was mentioning earlier: http://www.motorweek.org/features/goss_garage/catch-can-oil-separator

    Deposts on DI engine valves

    I just recently saw an episode of motorweek where the mechanic on there put a pcv catch can on a new camaro. He said if you drive aggressively that it will save you a lot of money in the long run having one on a direct injected engine.
