    My daughter let herself be ripped off today.

    What about replacing the fuel filter on my daughters 3.1lv6 Sunbird for $275? Sounds a bit excessive but she was 4h away from dad, so had no choice.

    Sunroof Rail

    I neglected to tell you that I am from Canuckistan. I checked with my local Napa, and the partsperson I spoke with said that it wasn't available. Any other suggestions?

    Sunroof Rail

    2010 Terrain, the sunroof is getting sticky and for sure it needs some kind of lube. There seems that be an amber almost translucent grease of some sort in there now. Would have to clean what we have out and then add new, something that won't drip and stain the roof liner and us too.

    Remeber when all new car salesmen drove new cars?

    I was in the business from 87 to 2000, and even then, we didn't drive demos as we were taxed on them, can't remember exactly how much, but it was a percentage, and then, also had to pay something for the monthly "honor" as well. Was just too expensive. I used to buy an in-demand unit, drive it...

    OLM for chevy DI engine

    It just so happens I picked up a '10 Terrain with the 2.4l DI engine, and about 60,000 miles. We had a prior model 2.3l Quad IV back in the day, so am familiar with the motor, what it's like, how it sounds, OCI, etc. When we got the terrain, it was still cold out, but the motor was a bit too...

    Backpack Leaf Blower quits in Run Mode

    I had a similar experience 3yrs ago with my snowblower (Briggs) and hedge trimmer (Deere 2 stroke). Hard starting as well on the hedge trimmer. I happened to be at the local Polaris dealership and telling my woes of how my year old snowblower (and I had always used stabilizer in) was hard...

    Stihl Trimmer Issues

    I've got a Deere trimmer, would be hard to start, and then run on a fast idle. All the time. I was recommended Polaris Carbon Clean fuel additive, used it according to the bottle, and switched to a premium fuel. Fixed. Idle is back to normal, and its running great. Don't know if it would work...

    Ethanol in Gasoline - Friend or Foe?

    I've got a bunch of small engine stuff, and up until 2 yrs ago, running on regular fuel with no ethanol. Had some issues with my 2-stroke hedge trimmer, but figured it was just age (about 8yrs). Then I purchased a 24" Craftsman with a 305cc 13.5lbs/ft torque Briggs. From the get go, as I was now...
