Critic, hopefully that can be prevented, or if it does happen hopefully it’s still under warranty. This is the first vehicle that I’ve ever taken out the extended warranty on. Between the twin turbo v6 and all the other gadgetry it didn’t seem like such a bad choice.

Hey all, I just bought a ‘22 Tundra with the 3.5 twin turbo iForce engine and was wondering what others have been running in this engine? Right now it has fresh dealer bulk oil in it, presumably Kendall 0W-20 as that’s been their bulk oil for years. I’m leaning towards running 5W-30/0W-30 of...

CKN, thank you for the input and hope you’re enjoying your new Silverado! I’ll definitely look into the extended warranty. This truck has 18,000 miles, so it does still have the remainder of the powertrain warranty. As far as the transmission I’m not a believer in lifetime fluids, so I’d...

Clinebarger, thank you for the insight! Does turning off/using a tuner to deactivate the DFM seem to eliminate or reduce the issue?

Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT with the 6.2 v8/10 speed transmission and was wondering what people’s experiences have been with the current gen as far as reliability, likes/dislikes, etc.? How is the 6.2 for fuel dilution and carbon deposit issues, also are lifter...

Champion 2500w dual fuel inverter generator. Just bought it on Saturday and ran it for 4 hours under various loads for break-in. Out: Amsoil Outdoor Powersport 0W-40 In: Same

Cooper Discoverer AT3’s have been great in my experience. They’re fairly quiet, get good traction, and have excellent tread life. I ran them on my 04 F-150, and have them on my 2013. I’ve run through 3 sets and they’ve all gone 80-85k miles and still been above the wear bar indicator when...

2015 Chevy Silverado LT. It’s a company truck that I inherited when my boss retired. The cabin filter definitely had seen better days and had a mouse house in it. The truck had a 138,600 miles on it when the cabin filter was changed. Also had the truck detailed, which made a world of difference...

Kruse, that’s a great tractor you have there and even better history to go with it! Oliver made some great tractors too. I have a lot of fond memories of time spent on my grandpa’s Oliver 1650 as a young kid.

Creekside, thanks for the reply! Any particular reason for sticking with the 90wt GL-1 over a multi-grade? Also, what engine oil do you run in your old gas tractors? I was planning on going with 15W-40 just to keep things simple. Thanks again!

Thank you, it’s a smooth running little tractor! This one’s a 1946 model. The PTO and really many things on old equipment can definitely be a little dangerous if one’s not careful. A lot of people my grandparent’s age are missing fingers and fingertips from the snap rings on old corn pickers and...

Hey all, I’m getting ready to change the transmission/rear end fluid in a Farmall H that I just acquired and was wondering what people’s thoughts are on GL5 rated 80W-90? From what I’ve found it originally called for straight 90W gear oil. I wasn’t sure if there is anything in GL5 rated fluid...

Will do!

2000 watt Champion inverter generator. OCI was roughly 25-30 hours. We used this Friday at work for about 14 hrs after losing power on Thursday from the storms that rolled through, and then I borrowed it to rotate between powering my fridge and freezer at home until the power came back on around...
