Could try gates thermo band clamps - and let O'Reilly stock them.

He's not driving an investment, he's driving a car. Who cares what someone thinks it's "worth"? Should he dump the car and spend more money on a car with more value that is worth the privilege of owning and repairing? Really, the only time value comes into play is buying, selling or when the...

I used to take a pretty dim view of art like this too - to me it had to fit "my view" of what art should be. But after getting to know some customers of mine that are artists, I've become a lot more accepting of it. Art is part of our economy and contributes to economic diversity - which is...

I would caution against getting batteries with high CCA in a given case size, especially in lawn and garden. CCA requires plate surface area and to get that, the plates get thinner and more susceptible to damage from vibration. Even autos, I rarely select high CCA for a given group size. If it...

You were given several good things to check but you sound like you really just want to replace it.. so why ask? This is a tech heavy message board, you had to know that you were going to get more ideas than change the plug or replace it.

What are your personal thoughts on such a move?

How much does the price of the bullet factor into the cost of reloading? I have most all the equipment necessary and hundreds of pounds of lead to cast my own and thousands of rounds worth of brass, but haven't bought or priced powder and primers.

Another vote for Techniplate.

Auto oil or no, you'll be fine. Rule number one for long ope life - have oil in it. Rule number 2 - keep it clean. To be fair, there are benefits to running a heavier oil (40 or 50 grades) but typically those who realize the benefits are putting mega hours and/or run in extreme conditions - for...

I think almost any battery make can be susceptible to those sorts of problems.

Perhaps a drop of lube and a session of engaging/disengaging? Loosen it up through accelerated use? You generally shouldn't have to but maybe worth a try before sending it back to the mothership.

There is little doubt that there is some truly next level tech out there - well beyond what most people know or have been told about, but I think that you may be overselling it a bit here. I would be truly surprised if every square meter above and below surface has been mapped and even if it has...

Interesting the timing of this thread.. I just received a letter from a local transmission rebuilder which made me think the exact same thing! "Dear Customer, At (Transmission Rebuilder), our commitment to excellence drives us to continuously enhance our offerings to cater to the diverse...

Everyone has their limits... Even if he can "afford" it, he obviously doesn't want to pay for it. I'm sure there are things that you're unwilling to spend on because you think it's a waste or too much... Maybe a premium video service or a fancy steak or.. doesn't matter.. there's something in...

We've become a very disposable/consumerist society, one focused on growth/expansion/money. Because of modern manufacturing, it's simply become easier and often cheaper for us to throw it away and buy another (which isn't an endorsement from me)... it can be needlessly wasteful and a drain on...

I haven't gotten the car yet - but I plan on baselining it. The engine was built by a sort of local machine shop but installed by my customer and his son. They're well intentioned but I think that they're lacking in knowledge. For sure I want to check timing and I'm generally pretty good with...

I have a customer that has a 514 Ford with aluminum heads and mild cam/compression. The builder originally used an Autolite AR3934 plug which looks super cold. Carb tuning issues aside, I'm not convinced that he needs a super cold plug.. I'm thinking something similar in heat to an AC 43.. how...

An update - I went out and shot about 100 rounds through the P365 and a little more more through my Canik TP9 SF Elite, all Magtech and they all went bang and the guns functioned perfectly. I also loaded the dozen or so dud Win NATO rounds in a mag for the Canik and they all fired perfectly. So...

I use Deka too and get similar results. I feel like I have been pretty lucky after listening to all sorts of people (both on here and around where I live). I stepped up my battery game starting at the end of last season by purchasing a maintainer.. Hoping that will get me another year or two out...
