I am seriously considering this as I have seen how much these GFCI breakers are. I haven't opened the panel yet to see if the neutral wire is long enough to reach the neutral bar. Not in too much of a hurry as it is usually a month or more between trips. And to whomever said about the outlet...

I will try a new breaker. This issue has only happened maybe 3 times since the end of March/beginning of April. Cannot remember when the kitchen was finished. Not sure if it might be a refrigerator issue as someone above has stated. Do refrigerators self defrost on a timer? Maybe once a month? I...

Had our kitchen gutted and remodeled this past winter. All new electric (outlets, wiring, breakers, etc). The outlet for the refrigerator is on a dedicated breaker. This breaker is a GFCI breaker as that is what is code in NJ. This breaker has tripped 3 or 4 times already since March. The...

Start simple first. I would check the temp sensor first. If it can be done easily get a mechanical gauge in there and see what happens. Don

Every time I have had a stuck O2 sensor I have hit it with the air hammer. Works all the time. Don

Very. I have it right now. Over the past 12 years I have eradicated all of the poison ivy in my yard. What I could see anyway. But the neighbor has burning bush plants on the property line. He usually trims them each year but hasn't trimmed them this year. Overgrown on my side makes mowing near...

A year and 5 months in and all is still working great. Haven't had a charging issue since replacing the outlet and keeping the cable plugged in all the time. I love it when a plan comes together Don

I use Bilt Hamber Touch Less exclusively. Also use ChemX Snake Oil. I do a contact wash on my car and the wifes car maybe 2 times per year. The BH and pressure washer does an amazing job. Don

Attach the battery cable, or jump pack, directly to the post on the starter. If it doesn't work the starter is bad. If it does work you have a faulty solenoid or a bad cable between the solenoid and starter Don

My guess is online buyers. Buy the car and then make arrangements to pick up or ship it. Don

Sure did. And I have to do it again. Joy Don

I just used the 1/2 inch torque wrench. It has an angle feature. It was slow going and very exhaustive to do. I pulled up on it using my legs and back Don

Yes. We had the CV and axle lined up perfectly straight. Factory bolt bottomed out without touching the axle. On the second go around we reused the "new" bolt but didn't feel good about doing the unbelievably tight torque sequence. So it is currently set t 250 ft/lbs since that is the max my...

Well that didn't go as planned. The factory bolt didn't remove the CV joint. So had to completely remove the axle from the car. Long story short had to do the job twice. We didn't get the snap ring correct and my son got stuck during the first test drive. Was able to save the new clamp and we...

Son the factory bolt is indeed long enough to accomplish this? Thanks for that. Also thanks for the heads up on the new bolt. I had no idea it was one time use Don

So MY son bought his first brand new car. He has a 20 GTI. We lowered the car on springs about 5 years ago. Just recently he hit a major pothole and had a rubbing issue. Took a look at it yesterday and found the front strut had slid down in the knuckle. We raised it back up and tightened it back...

They are heavy. Like real heavy. But I decided no more ratcheting stands for me. Those things scare the hell out of me. I would sleep under the car with the jack stands I have now Don

I bought 2 sets of these https://sunextools.com/products/22-ton-pin-type-jack-stands-pair Buy once cry once. Ultimate in heavy duty. I use 4 twice a year to do tire rotations and to deep clean the wheels while they are off the car. These will hold up my house Don

Do you need a hard hat? Will a bump cap suffice? If so I use this one at work and it is r4eally light and not at all bulky https://www.magidglove.com/erb-67-series-bump-caps-with-4-point-nylon-pin-lock-suspension-19111pp?srsltid=AfmBOoo_4s2v0D1mL8Wu0xKmx88o02J2kqtYzqInR-ECIJHJCYngezO8 Don

So changing the oil and filter fixed your issue? If so glad it worked out for you. Owning the '07 taught me that the vanos is only happy with the proper European Formula oil. It will agree with other oils for a while but not very long. Not exactly sure what the difference really is but the...
