Ok took the new Avalon in for the first check up.....which is really just a tire rotation, alignment check and top off fluids...So being the double-triple-anal retentive Bitoger type....I get out my torque wrench and hit all the lug nuts just to be sure so I can have peace of mind when I drive...
I lubed the chain and rollers lightly with some M-1 85w140 I have had laying around in my "orphan shelf" of half full containers. Now my garage stinks like sulfur....
How many decades until the smell subsides? BTW on the up side....the doors are really quiet now.
Ok so I am upgrading to win 7 (maybe). Ran the MS win 7 upgrade advisor report and it says my Broad-com NetExtreme 57xx Gigabit controller might be a problem. Everything else is compatible.
How do I tell if it will work? Or should I get a refurbished system for $399 with win 7 already on it...
My daughter is getting ready to trade the 2009 Civic college car in. The 2 choices are a 2014 CRV LX (certified) or a 2015 SanfaFe Sport (certified)
Which one is the better vehicle? Both have 30-40,000 miles.
Ok so I have a wife and 3 daughters....all of them drive their cars up to the curb and one many of the newer cars they sit so low the plastic bumper drags over the curb. Then they back up and drag it back off...pulling the clips out....2 years later there are numerous "hits" all over these...
Ok so here is the scenario.....the kid's 2009 Civic 110k runs great.(paid for) She lives in the city and walks to work so the car gets driven
My question to the members is: Should I?
1. Take it to a shop and pay $900-1100 ( I have a real good Honda indy shop)
2. Buy the gauges, vacuum pump...
GOT MY CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT TODAY
So Trump said everyone should carry.
I went over to the local Gun Shop to get a small 9 mm handgun for home/personal protection.
When I was ready to pay for the pistol and ammo, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me."
Making a mental note to complain to...
What is the best way to do these. DIY then have a dealer do them or a tire shop. These can be bought on Amazon for $25/each. The dealer wants $70 each and $70 to program each. Anyone ever DIY and then just get reprogrammed? Do you need to re-balance the tire?
Ok for my new Toyota Avalon with the 0w20 TGMO Syn 10,000 mile OCI....would it be better to go with a 5w20 Syn Blend and go 5000 or stick with the 10k?
2008 Rav4 kids high school "share" car....since new. 110,000 teenager miles.......new brakes 2x, new tires, new battery, tune up air filters 5000 OCI with QSUD 5w20.....dents & scratches ALL THE WAY around. I have done WS drain fils through the dipstick tube with my fluid extractor every 15,000...
Ok so my new Toyota takes 0w20........I have Toyota care which they will use 0w20 TGMO (which is a blend if I am not mistaken)...but all 3 other 2GR-FE engines I have had have been flawless using PP 5w30.
Should I switch it to 5w30? This is going to drive me nuts......
Ok got a new Toyota 2GR-FE and was wondering of anyone knows if there are AW additives in Toyota FF like Honda? I usually dump the FF at 1000-1500 miles.
It just spins...zero torque....It has served me well for about 5 years...it is worth rebuilding? I can get a new 19.2v one on sale for about $85 with a new battery.
Are these things worth repairing?
If I am on this and other forums and I follow a link to another site when I return back the text in all of the posts disappears. What is causing that?
Anyone know? I am running win XP SP3
