2005 Sequoia 2wd. Taking corners at any decent rate of speed activates the stability control with the beeping and ABS actuation. I don’t recall this being an issue prior to changing the worn steering rack bushings… I’ve tried doing the zero point calibration without any change. Live data seems...

Trying to organize the garage and came across a crate with some oil. There were several of each of these and I’m trying to think when I might have got them. Must have been over 20 years ago. Also a few quarts of pennzoil 20w50 that I must have run in my old 72 f100… I think it also said SG rated.

Going to tackle the steering rack bushings on my 05 sequoia. Any tips? Feedback on these parts? Got the energy suspension poly bushings.

I have a 95 Tacoma 2.4 5 speed and about 6 quarts of this fluid leftover from when I had a 17 forester 6 speed. Any reason not to use this for the trans in the Tacoma? Usually I’d buy redline but this has 330k miles and no idea if/ when the trans or gear oil has been done. Figure if this will...

Haven’t seen this particular oil, but ended up with a 6 gallon eco box of it because I couldn’t pass up the deal. I think you folks can relate! Figured it can’t be that bad and we have 3 vehicles that should like it just fine. Anyone happen to see much about it? It seems the conventional...

Tough to find a real answer but I wonder if this is normal. Say I'm in 1st gear, accelerate to 3000rpm and clutch in, off gas. Revs stay at 3000rpm for a very noticeable moment. Like over a second before they start to drop. Makes the 1-2 shift tough unless you really exaggerate a double clutch...

2017 Forester 2.5i Premium 6M. Used a 5qt jug of Castrol Edge Titanium Extended Performance 5w20 along with a Fram XG7137 filter. Specs say 5.1 quarts with filter change. It was a little over the full line on the dipstick since I bought the car, and I got out about 5.4-5.5 quarts with my...

Sold my 2003 Nissan Maxima and ordered a 2017 Forester 2.5i Premium in Jasmine Green with the manual transmission. Apparently nobody else wants a stick shift in this market, so I had to wait 6-9 weeks. It will be here in November. My motorcycle is my main transportation until then. Does anyone...

Twin I beam front suspension on my truck. All symptoms point to lack of caster. Does anyone have experience adjusting caster on these trucks? I know camber can be adjusted by bending the beams, but I'm wondering about caster. Truck is 2wd. I did a lot of searching but haven't found any real...

Base clear job. I figured after a month or so, wet sand with 2000 and follow with meguiars 105 on a wool pad, then 205'on polishing pad.

In my 67 F250, the NP435 manual transmission had some really, really nasty gear oil come out when I changed it a while ago. I have no idea when it was ever changed in the past, if ever. The truck pretty low miles, but I don't know much of the maintenance history. I did some searching about...

I have flushed the system out best I can with plain water several times until it all flows clear, but it doesn't take all that long for the coolant to start looking a little dirty. I was reading several places that Cascade makes a good flush chemical, but would it be OK in an engine like the 352...

It cross referenced to the same filters used by my 2003 Nissan Maxima actually. Wondering what would be a good choice for the bike. It's an air cooled 4 cylinder engine. Nothing too crazy, but I just bought it brand new and want it to last. I'm not opposed to paying about $10 or so for a filter...

Pretty stoked, just picked up a brand new welder. 110v Lincoln 140 HD MIG/ flux setup. My Snap-On is MIG only, so it will be nice to have more options to learn with. I'm very much a novice, but have welded a few things successfully. I just really need to get out there and practice. Going to pick...

Replacing my 2008 Yamaha Roadliner with this bike. Anyone else have one? I know there aren't many out there, but I really like it so far. I'm not liking the 8k valve inspection, but at least there isn't much in the way of pulling the cover. Been using T6 in my bikes for a while now with no...

Waiting for the call from the tire shop to go pick it up. Hoping they don't mess anything up haha! But got a set of Goodyear Wrangler HT's in LT245/75-16. Should be a nice upgrade from the P265/70-16 the PO installed. Ordered them from tirebuyer.com and had them shipped to the local Firestone. I...

VQ35DE engine code, I believe. Seems to really go through a lot of oil. Like 1qt/1000miles. I've never had something that used this much oil. The guys on a Maxima group say it's normal for these engines. I bought an oil catch can and will be installing it inline with the PCV valve hose to see if...

My cousin is getting ready to buy her first car. Her parents are looking at a Honda Accord sedan with the 4 cylinder automatic combo. I think it's about a 2003-05 but I'm not sure. Only saw a picture of the nose so far. What years had the trouble prone tranny? And was it only with v6, or 4cyl as...

I live in Southern California. Will be picking up an 03 maxima SE auto soon. I think the tires might be getting close to replacement. 17" factory alloys if I understand. 225/50-17 stock size. Seems the general altimax rt43 is a favored tire? I'll be using it as a work car, lots of driving. Extra...

3.5 v6 automatic as far as I know. Picking it up in about a month. 108k miles and well maintained but body dinged up. Family member buying new car and was going to donate it. Wondering what suggestions you guys have. I was thinking a high mileage oil (PHM or VML) and changing all the fluids and...
