I have a bit of a strange one on my hands. I recently acquired a 2003 F150 with a 4.6l in it at an auto auction. It wasn’t running when it purchased it. A new fuel pump solved the problem. The kicker is that it’s a single owner truck and only has 30k mi on it. By the condition of the truck...

My '06 CTD has a MFG'er reccomended OCI of 7500 miles for towing, and 15000 miles for light duty. No mention of synthetic oils what so ever, other than breakin should be with a conventional. With that said, I'm going to go out on a limb and ask the following: Why would one want to use a...

I was wondering how home brewers were keeping their equipment from freezing/gelling up in the winter in non-heated sheds? I've got my setup in a non heated machine shed. I'm thinking that it would be best if I enclosed the area around my setup and then installed an electric radiant heat panel...

Well after many moons of driving Ford products, I now have a brand spankin new '06 Ram 2500 Mega Cab 4x4 with a 6 speed tranny. I'm getting mixed responces as to when I should change the oem fill. If you look at the maint book, schedule A says 15000 miles, and Severe duty is 7500 (where this...

Hey all, I'm kind of a gun nut, and I came across this Browning BPS that was in real tough cosmetic shape at a auction awhile back, picked it up for $100. I'm trying to restore it into a shooter on the cheap. I've got all of the necessary parts from ebay and the such. I've got the gun...

I posted this on another Ford forum, I'd like to share it and maybe get some advice from the oil gods that reside here! Here's a UOA that I did on my F150 with MC 5w20, Purolator air filter and a MC 820S oil filter. The motor also had a Diablo Predator tuner. Mix of miles was 25% in town, the...

Would it be worth it to use Auto-Rx on a '04 F150 5.4L with only 27000 miles and that has had a steady diet of MC 5w20 and a Fl820s every 5000 miles? Even with almost 4k mi on the last oil change, dip stick is very clean almost like it was dipped in a new bottle of MC 5w20. Or would it be...

I have a '05 Kawasaki 1500 FI Vulcan Classic that has about 600 mi on it, it is a liquid cooled bike, but the radiator is so small that it might as well be air cooled. Its ready for it's first oil change. The only spec that the manual says is SE, SF,SG 10w40 oil. I've had motorcycles and quads...

Hey all HDEO Gods! This lowly site scavanger has a simple but complex question, and is seeking the higer powers that be. I'm a long time poster on another Ford forum, but lately I've been seeing alot of misinformation regarding oils (I know enough to be dangerous), and it seems that alot of...

I saw this on another forum, and I'd thought I'd share it. I couldn't find any similar posts here, so I'll assume that most havent learned about this must have marvel of filter technology. "TRUFILTER, lifetime direct replacement washable oil filter (Think K+N) is designed from 6061 T6 Billet...

I was wondering if any one has been using Rotella Diesel Ready ELC in a diesel motor. I was going to use G-05 Zerex with it's 5yr/150K mi claim, but for a $1 more a gallon at NAPA, Rotella ELC was what I left with. I got a really low milage '00 7.3L PSD and it has the original coolant with 47K...

Hey all! I've got a bit of a problem. I recently purchased a Honda Rancher 350 and I'm now coming up on the (it has 15hrs) 20hr OCI and Valve adjustment. So far it still has the Honda 10-40 factory fill. With the cold temps (as I speak we've reached a high of -1 F) I feel that this 10-40 is...

Just came across this on BFG's website, I thought I'd share this information on a voluntary recall on certain tires. I also posted this on a other site. http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/bfgapp/news/recall_pressrelease.jsp "All of the recalled tires were produced in week 15 and 16 this year...

Being a Teachers kid, I find this interesting. Okay, so lets create school vouchers, thus creating a influx in private school attendance. Do you really think that this is the answer to all the problems in our childrens education? Hardly. There needs to be fundamental across-the-board changes...
