Selling my house which was built in 1989. Breaker panel is as it was built and has been through a few owners including me for the past 13 years with no issues. Buyer wants me to have a licensed electrician correct this. What do you think?

Dad recently gave his rv away to someone who wasn’t going to use it on the road, so he pulled out the generator and kept it. I need to sell the thing, but have no idea what it’s worth. Hr meter was broken for years, but I’d be surprised if it had more than 1k hrs. Was working fine when removed...

Someone is dreaming big..

I've always been a big fan of Wagner Thermoquiet pads and have had excellent service from them in multiple applications. Installed a set (front and rear) on my wife's CRV roughly 6 years / 60k miles ago and they are now getting down to around 25% so I looked up some replacements. Worth noting...

Best price I've seen in a long time for .22. Aguila is excellent in my experience for rimfire as well. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/aguila-22lr-rimfire-ammo

Lately I've been buying Gearwrench ratchet's as I've needed replacements and have been liking them. The other day I was using the 1/4 swivel head (as a hammer) and broke the selector dial off of the back of it. Uploaded a picture of the damage and submitted a warranty claim on their website in...

Got a message on my Ram today saying the right rear tail light was out along with the quick flash from the turn signal indicator inside, went out and looked at the truck and it took me a while to even figure out what was bad, but there are 3 led's burned out/flickering in the top corner of the...

Generally speaking I have decent luck with aftermarket parts, but last night I really had to struggle with the A/C condenser install on my 2002 Tracker. The fit was so poor its like they designed the thing off of an phone picture, everything generally looked right, but nothing was quite right...

Mom's Enclave has a small oil leak that dealer identified as being the oil pressure switch/sender. Told her 5ish hours of labor to the tune of $742.. Apparently the alternator needs to come off, but that still seems way high to me? Anyone one familiar with this job?

Decided to cut open the filter that came off the 2002 Tracker 2.5 V-6 I just got. Unknown mileage, but I'm going to guess its been on there a LONG time. Anti-drainback valve was pretty hard. Lots of carbon deposits (nothing was attracted by a magnet) you can see in the can/baseplate and what I...

As a result of spending to much time on Facebook Marketplace I'm now the proud owner of a rusty/previously wrecked Chevy tracker. Plus's are clean title, runs and drives way better than you'd expect and its a real 4wd with hi/low range, and it was $1400. This will end up being a woods buggy...

Just picked up this this 6x12 trailer with a dovetail and was surprised by how light the tag says it is. It was a repo trailer on a local rent to own type trailer/building place. 2021 model and honestly doesn't appear to have been used any if at all. It has a 3500lb axle and overall looks good...

I enjoy watching Vice Grip Garage's videos on youtube and he recently had a video with a wipe on clear coat that was real 2 part paint. Watched a few videos on it (and Poppy's Patina which is the same stuff and bottles it for VGG) and decided it would be worth a shot on my Mazda with a failed...

I'd like to add limited slip to my mother's 1999 4.3 2wd S-10. The thing gets stuck everywhere in the yard and is hard to keep from spinning taking off from a stop in the rain. I've been looking at this unit which I believe would be the correct unit despite the website saying it doesn't fit...

I've had my truck for a few years now and thought I'd just share my opinions on how this truck does towing. I hear a lot of folks saying no one does real work with a half ton and I like to think that mine has to earn its keep from time to time. I tow heavy for maybe 5% of the miles I put on the...

Need to replace the radiator in my Mom's 99 S10 for the 2nd time. 4-5 years ago I bought the truck to flip and put a cheapie radiator in it and I remember removing the cooler lines and reinstalling them into the 'quick' connect fittings that came with the cheap rad being a huge pain. Now that...

Here's the latest analysis on my Ram 1500. Looks like it liked the Mobil 1 5w-30 a little bit better than the Pennzoil 5w-20. This is actually the 2nd 1yr interval on 5w-30 I had the kit and forgot to collect the sample on the last oil change.. What do you all think?

Noticed while changing the oil on my old truck yesterday that the slow oil leak around the front timing cover has turned into a pretty significant one. I'd heard of the "Fiber" cam gear on these engines being a weak spot, and I'm sure mine has the original one in place. Seems like replacing it...

I recently discovered I'd blown a trailer turn fuse on my Ram (pretty much each pin on the 7 way has its own 20a fuse come to find out) and they were the Micro2 size which I didn't have any of, so I went down to the part store and bought a 5 pack for $5.50, then came home and promptly ordered...

I was shopping for a cheap light shotgun to carry around for snakes that I didn't have to worry about getting beat up and ran across these ATI Nomad's. Reviews are good and I think its the cheapest new gun I've ever bought. Haven't picked mine up from the FFL yet but if it goes boom it will be...
