Whoa! That's it! Thanks, MParr! Appreciate it! :)

Thank you, I will.

I have a friend if Taiwan who recently damaged her 2012 Ford Focus SE's front under engine plastic panel. I'm uncertain exactly what the part is called/the part number. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Sadly, this story has an end. Today my friend was driving the car around and went to put the car into reverse... and... nothing. The engine started to rev but not free rev. It felt like it was pushing against something, followed by a "tink" then "chunk" sound. The car would move, but it would...

Just an update, the vechile owner has driven the vehicle as a grocery-getter but that's all. He's not willing to drive it further than a block or two, or maybe just down the street to the store. My prediction is that his confidence in driving this car will grow and in a few hundred miles we will...

Originally Posted By: exranger06 Normally I agree that "lifetime fill" is bogus, and you should always change fluid. But this time I'm not sure. 261k miles is a very good lifespan for any automatic transmission, regardless of its maintainance history. Even if it had regular fluid changes every...

Originally Posted By: Ethan1 You're a good friend. It might be a candidate for a magnefine and some more drain & fills. I actually have some extra magnafine filters however I did not bring them to this job. I had to do this job in my friends garage, not my own. So I had to pack everything I...

Originally Posted By: oilmutt What is the year,make and model of the car? This is a 2009 Chevy Cobalt with the 2.2 Engine.

A friend of mine called me on Friday and said that his car was acting very strange. He would hit the gas, and the engine would rev, but the car wouldn't go anywhere. It would not accelerate. Then he would stop, turn the car off for a little while, and he could go again, but only for a short...

Originally Posted By: DemoFly Return that filter wrench and buy one of these http://www.autozone.com/shop-and-garage-...nch/114009_0_0/ I have used this tool many times. It's fantastic. Works with all kinds of filter sizes, never failed me.

I'm using a Logitech G930 right now. Sound is good. They are built mostly for gaming, but I mostly use them for Netflix videos and audio. They are a touch bulky, but they are not heavy. Battery is good and can be replaced. It used the 2.4GHz spectrum, so if you have other 2.4GHz wireless devices...

Aren't politics banned on bitog? Talking about free stuff is one thing, but opening with "current nutty political candidate" IMHO crosses into politics. We bring up something like this on BITOG and people bring in huge amounts of extra baggage to the conversation. Why do we keep making posts...
