I have different tires on my Silverado. They are different type & size, Blizzacks in back, 2” taller Defenders in front. I ended up like this as I went to a taller all season, but still wanted to use up some older Blizzacks. I’ve done similar a few years, no problem. I plan to eventually get...

More than most repairs, standard brake service at the shop is a low parts cost high labor endeavor. One can add parts(rotors) and still be under 1/2 the cost at the shop. I just did two complete brake jobs, front & back. This was on the Honda CR-V, 2005/73k miles, 2017/92k, both original...

Nobody gets ‘Raybestos’ brake pads besides me? I agree more than just the pads themselves. I go slow, do the required lubing & all. Anyways, Raybestos are a little mid for standard quality, I think, $42-$45 range.

‘Virtue signaling’.

I realize you asked for a straight 30 weight. I would just put Supertech 10-30 ‘cycle oil’ in it, compatible with the clutch.

I see off they came. I took my Winter tires off a month ago, my ‘all seasons’ are pretty good anyway.

Yes I have, recipes on the web. As I recall, auto trans fluid to start, some thin synthetic motor oil & a few other things. It kinda becomes ‘Ed’s Red’.

I have 2, dirt simple, made to last several lifetimes with minimal care.

I’d be plugging that myself, then monitor closely for a while. I’ve had good experience plugging, here’s one.

Maybe they changed, General & Cooper have never been favorites of mine.

2014? Most shops don’t seem to want to mount a tire over 7 years old or so. I’m not saying anything is wrong with that policy. I would just get 4 new tires, if the 2014 date is correct.

I would get LTX Michelins, for your round use.

I’ve sold used Winter tires before, changed trucks. I now have two that are getting kinda old, plan to just use them up, Blizzacks. As long as they aren’t excessively old(date code), and the price is right, should be just fine. They sound pretty new, some shops balk at mounting tires over 7...

I just did my trans yesterday, 2017 Sierra 1500, 4wd, 5.3 engine, 6-speed tranny. I have 90k miles, never done tranny prior. I ended up doing the pry down on the crossmember that’s in the way, bar with a floor jack. That’s to get the pan off once loose, all you need is about 1/2”. The magnet...

I made some ‘gun oil’ a while back, more a general lube, than a ‘bore solvent’. The bulk was Royal Purple 0-10w motor oil, then ATF fluid, after that I used up a touch of MMO(Mystery) oil I had, that was about it.

Did we ever get to intended use? Lots of salmon up that way, other fish too. I know a couple who bought a large boat for Lake Superior, they have a ‘no fishing’ policy, think it will stink up the boat. There’s is more a cruiser, not even for skiing as far as I see.

Speaking of meth; A guy I associate with has been in a rough patch the last 18 months. It started with surgery then a painkiller addiction. After that it went to insane, heavy drinking. He’s been through 2 rehab programs & more recently got 2 DUI’s and totaled his truck. Then I have the...

I met a guy through work a while back, him & the wife had matching ‘Hellcats’, cars. I thought the cost was in the $70+k range, then expenses. I’m on my 3rd plane over the years, 1976 Rockwell Commander. My 1st plane cost $10.5, 2nd, mid 30’s, this one started just under $50k. Yes, with all one...

I keep a few CC licenses current. Another deal, sometimes the seller likes to see it on a FTF gun purchase. At least you’ve been vetted sometime in the recent past.
