I am currently restoring an older Simplicity 1080S snow blower I found locally for $150. It was in fair to good shape, ran and started OK but I still wanted to restore and refresh it. After ordering a few parts, I started tearing into it over the last few weeks. Fast forward to yesterday, I...

This filter was taken from a 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500. 5.3L V8. It was run for 5500 miles and 13 months. Everything was well made. The pleats and glue job were perfect. No tearing or stretching of the media. If you are going to buy these filters, I recommend you look inside first and make...

So I am starting to look for a new riding lawn mower. I have a 1 acre yard with 6 trees and a small but steep hill. I have a 12 year old craftsman LT2000 that has had a pretty hard life. The brakes are gone, the frame is warped, the body is rusting, the seat is crumbling to pieces, the deck is...

So I am ready to move up in the motorcycle world. Specifically, I am looking to upgrade to a larger, more powerful adventure touring style bike. I currently ride a 2008 Kawasaki KLR 650 that I upgraded for adventure touring. I really like the KLR and will be sad to see it go. The KLR is...

I thought I would share my experiences with dupont’s new line of Teflon lubricants. I started experimenting with them when I found most of their products being carried at lowes for what I consider a very good price. Sometime in 2012 Dupont updated and re-vamped the product line so this review...

I just changed the oil in the car in my sig. I took some information and pics to show everyone. I know a few other members here (bigtallV was one I remember) asked to see this filter after its period of service so here it is. The filter was run for 4,700 miles from the fall of last year till...

Has anyone seen these around yet? They are availible from Wal-mart at $5 for 2 blockers. Just based on looks and intended design, they seem pretty cool. A simple way to stop simple siphoning without the problems related to locking gas caps. I know the idiots can still cut your filler neck or...

My truck (see my sig) has a little over 2,000 miles on it and I am happy to report that it is running well. I was thinking about running my first dose of MMO this fill up and then repeating every 2,000 miles or so. My hopes would be that the MMO would keep the fuel system clean and lubricated...

I now have a small collection of oil filters that fit my truck so I thought I would do a quick comparison. These filters are for my 2011 Silverado 4.8l V8 but they also fit many newer GM engines as well. It doesn’t seem to be a very popular filter yet but is gaining as new the newer GM engines...
