Out camping this weekend and noticed that one of the trailer tires looked to be way overinflated. The tread along the whole tire was bulging up like the tire had 100lbs of air in it. The tread was not flat like the other tires. I got the gauge out and it was actually about 10lbs low which...

Just got the new shoes for the truck installed today - Cooper Discoverer AT3. Quite the upgrade from the junk Hankook Dynapro HT's that were on there. However, have a question on determining the best inflation pressure, especially when towing our trailer. The truck is a 2011 F150 Ecoboost with...

Looks like I'm going to need some new tires on the F150 in the coming months and am starting to look at options. The current tires that are on there are Hankook Dynapro HT's and I'm not real impressed with them. The dealer put them on at 43k and now at 82k they are pretty worn out. The snow...

http://www.autoblog.com/2016/01/27/dodge-dart-chrysler-200-dead-confirmed/ I still say Sergio is going to put Ram and Jeep on the block like Ferarri and gut the rest of Chrysler.... He's grasping at straws as they circle the drain.

Been dealing with a steering wheel shimmy as well as general shakiness under braking in the Taurus. Coming up on 80k with the original fronts, I figured it was time for a change. Knowing the brakes are a sore spot on the SHO, I picked up the Power Stop drilled/slotted kit for the fronts. Put it...

The "I want to like PP..." thread got me thinking... Since some oils tend to be "quieter" than others, is there any correlation with the amount of noise vs wear? Or even wear metals in an UOA? Or is the noise only a nuisance?

Continuation of my other thread here: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/3248453#Post3248453 Found a really nice 2011 F150 Supercrew Lariat, Ecoboost, Max Tow, etc. with 45k that we drove last week and really liked. About the only thing wrong is the bed never had a bed...

Looking at buying my first truck and need some help with Towing. We're planning to get an RV in a year or 2 and I want it to do it right the first time! Looking at a 2011 F150 Supercrew Ecoboost with Max Tow. According to the Payload on the door jamb it's 1850 lbs and Ford says it can tow...

I'm in Central PA and missed probably a key opportunity to get the leaves off my lawn this winter last weekend prior to the snow. However we missed the snow and it looks like it will be clear the next few days so I'm hoping what little snow/ice will melt off when the sun hits it tomorrow - it's...

I was thinking this week (always a bad thing) about OPE storage and the wet vs dry argument.... Has anyone given thought to using kerosene for storage? Since it's a heavier oil than gasoline, it would coat the carb and since it doesn't absorb water like gas would keep the carb oxidation free...

Anyone know if the Stihl Kombisystem will take other manufacturer's attachments? Got a TroyBuilt 4 cycle weedeater that takes attachments and I'm not impressed with it. When it dies, I'll probably go wth the Stihl Kombi. I've got the tiller attachment now but I need to get an edger attachment...

What's with the planned obsolescence with today's OPE? Have a Homelite Vac Attack 2 blower which we bought in 2006. Runs great, starts right away, doesn't smoke and still a great machine. A couple years ago the gas tank started leaking at the lines. Bought the Ryobi fuel system tuneup kit and...

Looks like Dell may be starting to circle the drain: http://www.cnbc.com/id/100378030 Never looks good when you constantly loose market share, and start prvate equity talk. Usually one of the steps on the way down. Perhaps Mikey should close the doors and return the money to the shareholders.

I'm getting ready to replace the passenger PTU seal on the wife's 03 Escape that at 119k is leaking and making the car smell.... In reading the Haynes manual it says you have to remove and discard the Axle Nut. Sounds simple enough but I can't find one anywhere....Rock Auto has none listed...

Happy Thanksgiving! Need a High Mileage Oil recommendation in 5w20 for the wife's 03 Escape. She's got 105k and I'm trying to find an oil, ATF, or gear oil leak in this engine. So I'm thinking a good high mileage oil to condition the seals that are probably hard or shrunk. Not expecting...

Hello All! Recent generator purchaser here and have a couple of questions on storage. I picked up a Harbor Freight 5.5kw unit as our power has been pretty wonky around here lately and with a finished basement we need to keep the sump running no matter what. Working in IT, I know generator tests...
