    Dealer put gear oil in transfer case

    So basically I bought a 2001 AWD 4.7L Durango from my father-in-law. I have a service record spreadsheet that I made up from his receipts and it came up that the transfer case needed to be drained and filled. According to the owners manual the TC needs ATF+4 transmission fluid. I crawl under the...

    Kelly Safari ATR

    Got a sweet deal on some 17" Safari ATR tires for the wife's 4Runner--since Belle Tire has stopped carrying the Safari and are replacing it with a house brand made by Cooper (at least that is what the guy there told me). So far I have been extremely impressed with the noise, ride, and wet...

    Mopar oil filter gasket seal issue

    Had a slow leak around the Mopar oil filter I bought at Wal-Mart for my 98 Dodge Ram. Did oil change last night and the rubber gasket seal actually bowed off and out of the groove in the filter upon removal. That is the first time I have ever had that happen with any filter I have used. I always...

    Start your Engines! Fuel system Revitalizer

    I saw a new product in the Bailey's catalog it is called Start your Engines! Fuel system Revitalizer. It is made by Golden Eagle and is supposed to be used if you have left gas sit in a tank for a long time, or at the begining of the season, i.e. after winterizing. Not sure if anyone has heard...

    Drive train noise

    1998 1500 Dodge Ram club cab 4x4. Very noticible whine when moving. I cannot tell for sure but it sure sounds like it could be coming from the rear end. Any suggestions as to what it could be. 63K miles on it, 50K mile service done at dealer including draining and fill diff., trans. case...

    Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10

    Well I just replaced my [censored] GY RT/S with these Dynapro ATMs by Hankook. I did a lot of online searching and reviewing of some lower price point LT tires and these ranked consistently at the top, even rating out better than some premium LT tires. I have only driven a few miles on them but...

    Prefered Transmission coolers

    Ok, so I am thinking about adding an external transmission cooler. The 2003 4Runner supposedly comes with a cooler that is internal to the radiator, I do not think I am keen on that idea when I know my radiator temps are hotter than I want my fluid to start with. Anyhow, any prefered...

    Already posted in Power Sports Thread-- What are your thoughts on slime? I have an old 1982 Honda three wheeler I am fixing up (exsisting thread) and it has a two piece rim that is a little rough. I blasted the mating surface but the problem is the pitting from rust. The old o-ring is cacked...

    Kelly Pathfinders

    Anyone have any experience with these tires. A guy at work is selling a set with about 200 miles on them for about half what they would have cost new. They just happen to be the right size for my Ram truck. Thanks in advance.

    Selling small 2 stage Airens-what should I ask for

    5hp Airens 2 stage snow blower, the smallest 2 stage they make. Four years old, new house and driveway that is too big for her. I would estimate 30-40 hours of use, well cared for, no problems and pretty much looks like new. I think new they are around $600. What do you think I could reasonably...

    1982 Honda 200 3-wheeler

    Got a line on one. It has been setting unmoved and unused in a guys pole barn for the last 5 years. He claims it ran like a top when he pulled it in last. A few months before he put it in storage he put on two new rear tires and had the carb. rebuilt. Bought a bigger four wheeler and now wants...

    vent free fireplaces

    Any experiences negative/positive with vent free fireplaces. I have a friend who uses a vent free stove in his all season room and it does a nice job of giving the wanted ambiance and heat. I would like to use one to heat the largest part of a partially finished basement (I am estimating 900...

    1998 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L

    Buying this truck off my inlaws for a nice price. I know it gets [censored] gas mileage but it will be driven minimumly. Any common problems I should know about, he has had pretty much zero problems with it so far. Anyone use any of these supposed fuel economy programers with good results? I see...

    Mixing All makes and Models

    2002 Century 140K miles, replaced hoses and another serpentine belt as preventative as we are taking a long trip. Could not find the Peak Global Extended Life AF I have been using for the past 90K miles in my Century, so I bought some Prestone all makes, models, and colors stuff. I tossed them...

    Traveller HD30

    I bought some of this 30wt at TSC for oil change in rider that came with a new home purchase. No concrete numbers, but it seemed to thin cosiderably after only 3 mows. I drained it out and refilled with some old Delvac 1300 I had laying around. Anyone else use this oil and have any thoughts on...
