it's been 3 days with the new OEM cap and so far no drip drip drip on the driveway.

We were able to locate a OEM part from a dealer today. New cap was installed and fingers are crossed. we'll see what happens.

The cap we put on is a Motorad cap. We were also thinking of switching back to the old cap.

My son has 2014 RAM 1500 with a eco-diesel. A couple of weeks ago a code came up which said there was a fault with the thermostat I don't remember the code number. Wanted OEM part and since none of the local dealers had the part we ordered the thermostat from Rockauto. We also ordered a...

I am not a mechanic and barely a diy type person. Did you disconnect the gun and hose. When pulling on the cord you probably built up pressure and all you would need to do is pull on the gun trigger to release the pressure.

I have 2 snow blowers. The newer one is a single stage Toro 2 cycle built in 1992. Was given to me for free. Previous owner couldn't keep the carb clean. Starts after 2 pulls. The second one is a Montgomery Ward's 2 stage built by Gilson with a 7hp B&S engine. Future father inlaw bought it in...

We have a local tea store called Tea Source they also are online. They carry over 200 teas. We make refrigerator tea. We have a iced tea picture which we add the tea to, and then place it in the refrigerator for 8 hours and then remove the tea leaves. The flavor we like is called Minnesota nice...

I have a 09 CRV and every so often the TPMS will light up and then go away. I would also check the tire pressure and it would be fine. So it might be a sensor. Or the batteries from what I have researched in the Sensors last about 10 years. I would call a tire shop for their guess on the...

My son and I changed the serpentine belt on his 2014 RAM 1500 with the eco diesel. It just hit the 100K mark. Went to You Tube and found a video on how to do it. Replaced the OEM with a gates heavy duty and saved a few bucks. After removing the old belt we noticed it was made by Gates.

I first did a search for personalized plates and could not find a thread on personalized plates. So here goes. My son and I running a few errands a few days ago. A car passed us and I don't remember what type but something like a civic so nothing special that would stick out. The license plates...

My son’s father in law used to have a pond with fish. The ducks found it, they thought it was great. Bottom line is the ducks ate the fish.

Last spring moved into a brand new house so it's very air tight and we live in MN. We have a Aprilaire 600 along with a air exchanger on the gas furnance. Last summer ran the central air with air exchanger on. The central air ran a lot. Brain cells finally kicked in, turned the air exchanger off...

We have a cold snap coming up for the next week here in MN., the highs will be about 0°F. So I looked up the last time I replaced the battery in our 09 CRV. It was 2 years ago, a Interstate bought at Costco. Small battery but slightly larger than OEM. Batteries usually last about 5 years for me...

This last spring we moved into a new house and it’s really insulated compared to the old house. Plus it’s almost twice the size at a little over 1900 square feet. At night it’s set at 62 F. The heat comes on about 7:00 and hits 65 for the day during the week and 68F on the weekend. I have it set...

Just retired my 04 explorer which I bought new. Had a few issues over the years. Differential at 58,000, trans at 68,000, all 4 coil springs and a few other issues along the way. I somehow was never left stranded and it never used oil unless I put Mobil One or Amsoil in it. She had 159,000 when...

Fleet Farm carries their private label Road Runner batteries and I believe some of them are completely sealed. or at least the one's I have used have been. No idea who makes them, but they have been an excellent battery for me.

This is probably the third time I have tried the MMO to correct it which it did. It seemed to take a little longer than normal maybe because of the cold weather. In the past it was during the summer. I usually buy a quart at a time and use it till it runs out, and than tend to forget about it...

Bought when new a 04 explorer with the 4.0 engine. I usually use Costco or Kwik Trip gas. Every 3 to 4 years after filling the gas tank, the gauge will not go to the full mark. You have to drive for 20 to 30 minutes before it reaches the full mark. With trial and error I have found by using the...

The regular traps with peanut butter work the best. I place a trap on each side of the large garage door.

My son has a 17 or 18 Forester, not sure what year and a 2019 Highlander. According to him the new safety features are better in the Forester than the Highlander. He also loves the Forester in the snow.
