    Toyota 6 speed transmissions

    Hello, I picked up a 2011 Avalon the other week. While reading up afterwords, I realized that these have the dipstick - less transmissions. There is a long video out there: Transmission inspection/drain/fill The process to do a check, drain, etc. is ridiculous. What are other owners doing -...

    Vehicle warranty - lifetime

    Hello, I was looking online for local Ram trucks last night. I came upon a '17 Express with the Hemi in it. I was intrigued by the following, but figure it is full of loopholes: *INCLUDES A LIFETIME UNLIMITED MILEAGE $0 DEDUCTIBLE WARRANTY*, Commentary on this being truthful, are...

    63 Vette

    Oh, how the times have changed over the decades... I have an uncle who had a 63 with the chrome side pipes, back when I was a kid. Took a couple of rides in it, when I was young (late 70's), and it scared the crap out of me.. LOL. He bought it, after returning from Vietnam, then became a long...

    Android users - experiencing recent GPS issues?

    Morning, I have a pretty simple phone - the Samsung J3, but have had it less than a year, so I am hoping to get another year out of it. Recently, my Google Maps and Waze have been almost inoperative. It will show me at a location sometimes several miles away. Running a route, it often takes me...

    2004 Silverado

    Hi, A unique opportunity may have just come up, possibly changing my direction in looking at trucks. Looking for anything from that year (5.3 z71) that may pop out as unusual issues, compared to other years of GM in that era. I've put on about 110k on my 01 Tahoe, so familiar with the usual -...

    Feedback on 2016-2018 Ram 1500

    Hello, I may be in the truck market, post Labor Day. If not, first half of 2021. Been looking and researching the Ram, both the Bighorn and the Express. I've been getting a feel for what the typical prices are, researching some feedback, etc. As an example, there is a 2017 Bighorn Hemi near...

    K24 Kreen Update

    Here is my original thread: Initial Kreen thread Wanted to give some updates since then. As noted, my initial run of 1/2 quart didn't make much of a dent in the oil burning (still roughly 2k/qt). I've gone in a couple of directions, so this isn't something you can draw specific conclusions...

    Pirelli ice zero fr bsw winter tire

    Hello, I believe I am going to splurge this upcoming winter, for a set of snow tires. I've never run them before, so have little knowledge. Up until early this morning, I thought I'd buy the Cooper Discoverer True North tires. I just ran into these, while doing some reading. Does anyone have...

    Anyone ever order tires online at Wallyworld?

    So 3 of 4 Coopers came today. Do they typically not send all 4 at once? The email I was sent was unclear as to what is going on,, and online help (i.e. chat) is non existent; at least from what I looked at.

    2009 Infiniti G37x

    Looking for feedback from owners. Oil consumption, general maintenance, longevity, etc. Haven't owned Nissan products in a long time. I know MPG is not good, but other than that, thoughts are appreciated. Thanks. Drove in a friend's 2006 G35x, and it was a blast.

    07 Accord K24 and another Kreen thread (sorry).

    Hello, So I have a couple of questions and an observation, after having used an initial Kreen cleaning. My K24 (with 192k) burns a quart at around 2,000 miles - give or take. In the late fall, I did an initial run with a half quart for 600 miles. Had to change out a bit early, given the...

    Question on a 2000 Ranger

    Hello all, and Happy Holidays. I am posting a question, just to learn more about vehicles. I have never pretended to be a person who does more than the routine maintenance work on vehicles, so here it goes.. Just spoke to a friend who lives about an hour and a half away from me. He has a 2000...

    50" LED TV refresh rate minimum

    Looking to move to a 50" LED Toshiba tv. (currently have a 40" LCD Toshiba). In looking at the screen refresh rate, it is 60hz. I was under the impression, that 60hz was acceptable, if screen size was 40" or less. This was when i purchased the present TV 10 years ago. Would a person be...

    Illinois football fans

    Nothing to see here tomorrow. Best to enjoy the weather. The Badgers might have their reserves in by the 2nd quarter. Honestly, I've never felt WI could match up with Ohio State...and history has proved this correctly. It just seems different this year. The D is lights out. Running game is as...

    03-07 Accord K24 oil consumption tendencies

    Hello, I've heard it said that the K24 can use oil. I have an 07, and it is going through some oil in between changes. Now, I will preface this - it does a good deal of delivery work (stop/start), as that supplements my income. I believe it is going through a quart and 1/2 between 5k oil...

    Tires Plus opinions (mounting outside tires)

    Hi, I have 4 new tires that need to be installed this weekend. I've never used Tires Plus before, but the quote was substantially lower than the business I usually go to (Mills Fleet Farm). I'd just like some opinions on their level of competence. I've been happy with Fleet Farm (and listen up...
