What’s everyone’s opinion on them or smart watches in general? My wife, her sister and brother in law all love theirs. I don’t even wear mine. I don’t care what my heart rate is, how many steps I take in a day and am annoyed by the fact I’m constantly tied to the notifications of my phone even...

I’ve got a Saginaw power steering pump that will stop giving assist if the engine is lugged to below idle conditions. In order to get it functioning again I can rev the engine to like 2k and assist returns as it should. To me this sounds like a sticking control valve. My issue is finding the...

I saw some of this for sale. Shows it’s a 75w85 GL4 rated lube. Would this be safe for an older synchronized manual transmission? Transmission in question is an NP435. Calls for 80w90 or sae50 depending on vehicle it’s in and year range. Pretty sure mine calls for sae50.

After owning my 12 F150 for about 8 years I had an itch to make a change. So I sold it, picked up a new daily driver and a new semi project/truck to do truck things. The DD is a 2010 Fusion SE with the 2.5 and auto. About as boring as they get but reliability is boring 🤷‍♂️ The project is a 78...

Finally got me a new holster for my concealed carry piece. Really liking it so far! Disclaimer-It’s from my brother in laws company and I actually made it myself as I do some of the production for him when he gets overloaded. So any reviews on my part will be extremely biased 🤣

Never thought I’d see the day when I bought a brand new vehicle. Never thought I’d be ok with paying (almost)msrp but here we are! Needed a vehicle that would fit the whole family and our Explorer only had 6 seats. So with baby number 5 on the way it was mini van time. 2022 Chrysler Pacifica...

When you see things of value laying on the side of the road or in an intersection do you pick them up? If so do you keep them, ask around a bit then keep them, post to social media or take to City Hall or other lost and found? I’ve found plenty of things over the years. I think it’s usually...

Went from the stock XLT chromes to the 15-17 Sport appearance package machined aluminum and black. Decided I’m probably keeping this truck a few more years with how gas prices are and how little it’s driven now. So I thought I’d change it up a bit and the price was right at $200 for the set.

Looking to buy a floor jack. It will be for small jobs and home use only; tire rotations, brake work and checking front end components for play during an oil change. Any larger jobs will go to the shop where the majority of my tools already are. Needs to be able to handle compact cars up to a...

I’ve always leaned towards using Shell products mostly because I’ve never had any reason to switch. I’ve been using RGT in the vehicles I service but my stash is starting to run low and it has become unavailable locally. The marketing for the new PFS is not exactly confidence inspiring as they...

From the web searching I’ve done it appears that Prestone makes Supertech coolant. From what I’ve found the two formulas do look different as the Prestone shows to have phosphates as part of their cor guard additive package. Also the Prestone is advertised as a ten year coolant and the Supertech...

This weekend I changed the transmission fluid in 2017 Explorer Sport that calls for Mercon LV. Checked local WalMart stock online they showed to have 7 quarts of SuperTech LV/dex 6 in stock. Get there and none left in stock. So I ended up purchasing the Castrol Transmax universal fluid...

Am I the only one following the NFL that is shocked Chris Jones is going to be allowed to play in the Super Bowl? He was suspended in 2018 for punching an opposing player and then did it again against Buffalo in the AFC championship game this past Sunday. I would have expected the league to...

So last month I hit a deer. I have full coverage insurance with progressive(my first mistake). So I send in pictures through the app. They review the pictures with an instant estimate. I immediately call because the instant estimate appears way off. They tell me they do not send out adjusters...

Looking into a mini van as my family is just outgrowing the wife's Ford Edge. The Edge has been a spectacular vehicle for us but two rear facing car seats and a booster are not going to fit comfortably in the back. Had considered a Chrysler Pacifica but it seems like everyone I've talked to that...

I have a job oppurtunity that has been weighing on me heavily for the past few months. I figured the anonymity of the internet would let me be more specific about it than I can be with friends or family. So here goes! I’ve been an automotive dealership employee for about 13 years off and on...

Both are available and similarly priced at WalMart. Which would you choose and why?

Looking for tires for a Ford Fusion. Mixed driving in Missouri weather so we see all 4 seasons and heavy rain at times. Here are the options I'm looking at: Continental Pure Contact. 70k treadwear warranty. Made in USA. Great reviews especially for wet and dry handling. My personal experience...

Anyone know who makes them? We've used them at work as a cheaper alternative to Motorcraft in the past. I've even used them in a personal vehicle with decent results. http://www.fvpparts.com/products/batteries/platinum/
