I put Malwarbytes (free version) on my Android cell phone a few years ago, but it's not functioning anymore and when I go to the Google App Store it shows that it's not supported anymore. So I'm looking in the Google App Store for another good Android AntiVirus app. I need to uninstall...

Problem #1

I've been looking at the KLX300 for a couple of years. Sold a bike I hardly ever rode anymore, so decided to sell it and get dual-sport bike. I've had a few non-street legal dirt bikes, but never a dual-sport. Decided to go traditional Kawasaki Green instead of the "Battle Gray" or "Cypher Camo...

Anyone else notice this lately on Amazon? If you are not a Prime member and not logged in, items show that shipping is free for orders of $25 or more. But when you log-in, the same items then show that shipping is free for orders of $35 or more. What's going on there ... typical Amazon games...

Will be interesting to see how this unfolds. https://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-unpatchable-jailbreak-hack/?eml=organic:eml:brz:08102023:tesla-unpa:article:print:owcst:mt&utm_source=braze&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=print

Another possible car on the used car hunt. Older Ford Fusion SEL model with ~107K miles. Metallic silver with black leather interior, nice 17 inch factory wheels. Looks well cared for, and has a good Carfax. Local PNW car, so no rust concerns. Has the 2.5L 4-cly 16V MPFI DOHC engine with the...

Still on the hunt for a used car. Might look at a 2014 Nissan Altima 2.5L on Saturday. The Altimas have had a CVT transmission for quite awhile, and this 2014 has one. I know CVTs seem to have a bad reputation, but are they really that unreliable if you keep up on the fluid changes? The Altimas...

Looking at a couple of KIAs ... one is a 2014 Forte EX and the other a 2015 Optima EX. The 2014 Forte has the 4-cyl 2.0L DGI naturally aspirated engine with a 6-speed automatic. The 2015 Optima has the 4- cyl 2.4L DGI naturally aspirated engine with a 6-speed automatic. I'm assuming the...

Still on the hunt for a used car. The Chevy Cruze is off the list, and I'm back to the Mazda3. I learned the Skyactiv-G direct injection 2.0L engine with a 6-speed auto started in the Mazda3 in 2012 I believe. This is very clean well cared for 2010 Touring package with the 2.0L port fuel...

Looking at a 2011 Chevy Cruze with the 1.8L 4-cly (non turbo) for an inexpensive commuter car with good gas mileage. It's also an automatic transmission. It only has 67,000 miles. Can get it for ~$7500. Local car (no salted roads to rust), clean title, no accidents on Carfax. How's that engine...

Will it take off? Seems viable, and Toyota is good at innovating new technology.

:oops: ... check your lug nuts.

This paper seems to support that introducing an oil with a different formulation to an already formed tribofilm can have an almost instant effect on the already formed tribofilm - seems to be due to the partial removal/stripping of the existing tribofim, then a rebuilding of a new tribofilm (and...

Seems strange that the oil pressure took so long to go to zero with no oil in the sump. Hey, it picked up some HP for a little while when there was no oil shearing drag ... kind of like running super thin oil. 😄

I'm looking to put some LED lights in my 2005 Tacoma fog lights - been thinking about it for a while and time to do it. Seems the way to go is the blade type LED lights that more closely mimic an old fashioned halogen filament bulb. The OEM fog lights use a 42W halogen bulb, and they run pretty...

Some have been wondering if the Fram Titanium is still the old design Ultra wire backed media or not. I just bought one from Advance Auto Parts (FS7317). Got it in their oil & filter deal, and wanted the oil for my Tacoma (Valvoline Advanced 5W-30, API SP) and the Titanium filter for my Yamaha...
