Hi. Long story short. My tools were stolen this past weekend. I just picked up a Quinn Master Tech Tool set. After checking HD, etc.... none of their tool kits are currently on sale, nor probably will be until Father's Day. Prior to my opening this, are Quinn considered to be decent for a...

Before I begin, I need to note: There are going to be holes in this story, as I don't know all the details, nor do I have the time to jump on here and check responses all that often. With that said, the point remains the same. I have a friend (approximately 60) who is a Diesel Mechanic and...

So, I've done the requisite reading on the head bolt redesign (04?). This particular DTS has 70k on it. Educate me on the good/bad/ugly.....

Looking for feedback from people who have actually owned this truck. I know what the numbers state. Is this set-up comfortable towing a 4.5k deep V boat (surge brakes) ? Towing through MN and WI. Key word - 'comfortable', don't want to feel like it is approaching the upper capabilities. Thank you.

Well, I guess this isn't really meant for the 'humor' section, more the 'reality' section. Turned 56 today. Was planning on going duck hunting this morning. Bought a license for the first time in 5 years, this season. Weather forecast - nice and warm for this time of year. Downside -- very few...

Had my plugs and coils done today. When I bought the vehicle last year, the Carfax didn't have any documentation as to if they were done at 100k. So, either these have 68k or 168k.... LOL You be the judge -- if 168k, plugs aren't your dad's plugs anymore...

Starting to look at tires for the fall. I initially had it down to 2 - either the Continental Cross Contact, or Pirelli Scorpion Verde. Cooper CS5 might be an option, depending on upcoming rebates. The wildcard is --- GY Assurance Outlast. GY gets such varied opinions here, and elsewhere...

My guess, he/she doesn't punch a time clock...

Picked up a Walmart value series battery for my Rx350 All on the shelf were mfg'd in Jan I'm assuming just run it, and it will return to normal?

Casually looking at the used market for Toyota Venzas. What's the overall feeling of the 2.7 engine? Thanks.

Morning, If you had a tire with a separated belt, what would you feel when driving? The roads in MN are in bad shape this year (potholes) - yesterday, the front R tire started to shake a bit, when accelerating around 50 mph. Above 55, the sensation went away. Just had tires rotated and...

Has anyone used a product, that bought them some time? Thinking that they probably don't work all that often My Avalon (272k) has a failing pump and rack. At this point, I am not interested in putting that kind of money into it.

What brand of bearings do you recommend for replacement on a '11 Avalon? Thanks.

Looking to potentially move some money out of my credit union, and into a higher-yield account. CU MM savings is at a meager .60% In a very quick look, I have SoFi at 3.5% and PNC at 4%. What should I be looking for, when viewing these options? Are these names a safe play ? TY

Had a friend tell me how one of her client's knee pain improved dramatically, using Turmeric (she needs knee replacement). I'm in the same situation - facing L knee replacement, but postponing it until summer. Currently been taking Osteo Biflex for about 2 years. Looking for info on particular...

Had my Avalon in tonight, both outer tie rods and Lt inner were replaced. When I was with my mechanic, I asked him what he was going to use....figuring he might say Moog PS (if that is even applicable). He definitely does not ever try to put cheap store-grade parts on vehicles. I was surprised...

Had the pads replaced on my Avalon a few weeks ago. These pads seem to get good reviews, so I thought I'd share a pic. Pads have a little over 60k of hard city driving on them.

Evening, I am going to park this vehicle for 6 months, starting next week. I've talked w/ my mechanic on a few things to prep it. conditions: it is going to have to sit outside in the driveway in MN. I'm filling the tank, stabilizing the gas and disconnecting the neg terminal on battery. He...
