I have a Wix 57488 that I purchased from RockAuto and went to change the oil on my tractor and to my surprise I don't see any filter media, just a metal interior sleeve. Has anyone seen this before? Couldn't get the greatest of photos with my phone.

Has anyone poured a slab lately and wouldn't mind sharing costs? I'm trying to get a slab poured before winter (I'm in Michigan) and so far only one contractor has called me back with a quote of $8k for labor only of placement and finishing of a roughly 30x50' slab. I'm doing the foundation...

I work at a food manufacturing plant and we are having some problems with a mixer not raising and lowering the mixer bowl properly. It has a self contained hydraulic system that just uses a single hydraulic cylinder to raise and lower the bowl. I took an oil sample to see if it was oxidized or...

I've been shopping for deals on pickups to replace my old one and found at an online government auction a 2009 GMC 3500 with 11k miles that a fire station owns. Current bid with buyers premium would put it at roughly $27k. It has a 6 L gas engine, 4x4, service bed, extended cab, cloth interior...

Guy at work will give a prize to the first person that knows what SWAG is in Nuclear Navy Military talk. Google turned up the wrong answer so I'm hoping someone here will know.

Just to start I'm not looking to fix it, I'm sure the cost will exceed the value of the truck. It has 182,600 miles and slowly has turned into a rust bucket but not as bad as some vehicles. What I am interested in is anyone has an idea what else could cause the problem other than a blown head...

Hey everyone, Just kicking an idea around in my head for a car project that would require an independent rear suspension. In your opinion what is a good late model IRS from an OEM? Not worried about trackwidth or anything else as it doesn't need to bolt/weld up to a current frame setup. Only...

My sister is currently a flight instructor looking to fly more hours than her current job can offer. So... She bought a plane. A Cessna 140 with a Lycoming 235a engine. The now previous owner put MMO in the fuel and is telling my sister she needs to do the same. It's a rebuilt engine with about...

This is what happens when you randomly look at Craigslist for vehicles older than 1980 :) Doing just so, I found a 1969 Chevrolet C10 pickup. Looks very clean and original in the pictures, although I wish he/she had more pictures of the engine bay and interior. Has the 292 cu in inline 6, 4...

I've been looking for some slip on insulated rubber boots for outside work in the snow and cold weather. Not looking to spend more than $150 and I've narrowed it down to 3 boots. I tend to have cold feet and last year with some cheap insulated boots I had to have toe warmers even in 25 degree...

Fair warning, rant ahead. I don't ship anything on a regular basis and my motor freight shipping experience is minimal. I bought some stuff at an auction for my brother and I shipped it motor freight. It was one pallet, 2 used electrical motors that I made a pallet for. I used all 2x4s, bolted...

Picture from Street Rodder magazine March 2018. I always thought Amsoil was a blender and got their refined base stocks from a supplier.

One of my friends is looking for a car for $4k or less. I've told her that I would start with Toyota or Honda. She has also found a 2007 Mazda 3, which reading through posts in the past on this website seems to be a reliable car. So my question is are there any brands/models/years to look for...

I am (was) subscribed to Car Craft magazine and received a letter today that it was no longer going to be published and received a code for a digital subscription to other TEN Publishing magazines and a free 6 months to Motor Trend on Demand. Sucks that this is happening in general to print...

A buddy of mine has been battling problems with a furnace not lighting and has figured a way around it (safely) and a repairman has been out 3 times but still not 100% fixed. It's a Payne 74k BTU furnace from 2002, not sure of the exact model. It is a condensing style furnace. What happens is...

I call it Two night pancakes because that's how long it ferments for. Just as a caution I don't measure out all the ingredients, I just put enough where I think it works. Makes about 6 medium-large pancakes First night: 3/4 to 1-1/4 cup of milk depending on how thick you like them Baby...

Looking for opinions as my research has come up with less than conclusive evidence but see no reason why it won't work. I'm building a post frame structure and for the foundation I am doing concrete piers and attaching brackets to the pier. Most videos I see using piers the bracket is using a...

Cool video from ChrisFix on how brake pads are made, some interesting technology and methods of manufacturing.

Looking more for what's a reasonable price, not necessarily to sell it here although anyone can take a look if interested. Backstory - friends from work bought it new, had it as a daily driver for many years, kids drove it in high school, but have left the house and the friends have newer...

I'm in the planning stages of building a new pole barn and have an electrical question. I'm planning on running new service from the existing drop from the transformer to the barn and don't know if I need a ground wire the entire length of the cable or if a ground wire from the main disconnect...
