Drained the lower end fluid. No sign of water, fluid looks clean/new as it should be… What gives?

I have a early 1970’s Evinrude 2 cylinder, 2 stroke, 25hp outboard. Today after running it in a bucket of water for its first trip out of the year, a mix of what appeared to be lower end fluid, water, and gunk was coming out of this weep hole. I will be draining the lower end fluid this evening...

I have an old family cemetery on my 3.6 acres from the 1820's-1850's. There are roughly 15 headstones on the corner of my property, mostly all headstones are legible. You can see my house to the left. I have 3 children, ages 8, 5, 3. -A few years ago our oldest child has said to my wife...

Can you imagine going south on I95 in the back of a camper? It would literally beat you unconscious...

I went a different direction due to a new promotion. I went with a 90k Hankook Kinergy tire through Discount Tire. They price matched @ $122 per, $80 mail-in manufacture rebate, and 5% off for military. I'm looking at about $450 OTD for a 90k mile warrantied tire. They will provide free...

I did, only 1 tire has reviews...

I suppose: tire mileage/duration of service would be my #1 factor, then #2 comfort/road noise, #3 adverse weather

My wifes 2023 Camry hybrid with 23k miles is ready for tires....I do drive aggressively and rotate the tires as recommended. I have a slew of 70k-75k mile tires and would like help to pick one! I'll be using Discount Tire as they're local to me and offer a military discount. The convenience...

I had a 2013 Hyundai GT with the 1.8 motor. It had a loud piston slap noise about 1/2 the time. I sold it at 88k trouble free miles. I did bring it to a Hyundai dealer and they said the noise was "normal." I made sure that the notes indicated the noise I was hearing. A TSB was later...

I greatly appreciate your detailed response! I wish I was closer as I would drive over to you...

What would the cost be to rebuild and ship a 6L80 unit out with all these upgrades? What does this additional cost gain you in reliability/ longevity vs. a GM reman unit? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the new remans have a different torque convertor and updated internals? How would this...

We pull a 2018 Forest River Shamrock 233s. It's 4960lbs dry. One slide and 3 queen size bed pop outs. It works well for our family of 5 and is small enough to get into the majority of parks. I use a Curt weight distribution/anti-sway set up, which has worked great thus far. Camping is something...

I'm shocked that you all were able to get it done in 2.5 hours. You pulled the intake/head and reassembled? I bet that would take me 10 hours, especially working in the awkward forward leaning position!

What exactly was replaced? Just the failed lifter? You work with some good people!

I don't recall it pushing back easy. I use a L piece of steel and a C clamp to push the piston back. I went from almost no pad left to new pads...

As an owner of a truck with the 5.3 and AFM, this issue bothers me! There doesn't really appear to be any particular reason for a lifter to collapse...I'll continue changing the oil every 5k and keep my fingers crossed! I'm sorry that you're dealing with this...

I just did the front/rear pads myself about 3k miles ago... Maybe I caused the issue??? I always lube the slides and everything looked good when I changed them out.

The camper was set up at the campground. This situation occurred about 10 minutes outside of the park...

I choose to replace both as the truck is 10 years old and for piece of mind...

I pulled my camper about 220 miles from home to the coast of SC. I was taking my daughter to see a (urgent care) doctor over an ear infection for a 3:15pm appointment. I pull into the medical center's lot and my front drivers side brake caliper is smoking, all other rotors are cool... I do a...
