Anyone have any experience doing this? I have a electric snowblower that I replaced the brushes a couple of years ago. I have only used this a handful of times, and the brushes are gone already. All I did last time was put in the brushes. the commutator is pretty blackened up but not really worn...

Anyone here own one? I'm looking for something compact. It doesn't need to have the power of a 20 volt, just looking for something to run screws.

I have one of the very last carburated 454 engines.it's in a 1990 motor home. The chassis was built in August of 1989. My question is when I go the summit's web site they ask what generation engine is it? Is it a gen 3 or 4 or a mark 5 . I don't know what it is. Any GM guru's out there?

My generator has been setting for at least a year. There was a lot of oil on the cement underneath it. It is a 8hp Briggs engine. When I unscrewed the oil check, I had a big flush of oil/gas come out of it. So I drained the rest of the mixture out of it and filled with new oil. I ran it for a...

I own a real pos Ingersol Rand compressor, SS5 I've owned it for 5 years since it was new. After one year the company replaced the whole pump assy. because it would not develop pressure above 110 psi. ( blown head gasket ) Now it has another blown head gasket on the replaced pump. I find this...

I started coming here to get educated on oil. The more I come here the more confused I get. I have a 1989 motorhome with a 454 in it. It only has 46k miles on it. I keep reading about the flat tappets it has, and certain oils will cause quicker wear on them and the cam. I have been running M1...

I purchased a 2008 E-150 van about a year ago. It came with a trailer tow package. I haven't towed anything yet but I am getting a large trailer and I need to find out where the tie in point for the brake controller is. I have pulled the cover off from beneath the steering column but it reveals...

That Bob had on here at one time that would show how oil was affected by additives ( foaming up and such ) also there was testing done on oil filters with gauges showing back pressures and bypassing. Am I missing where there at?

I was wondering about this syn. 2 stroke oil. It states that it is good for all 2 strokes mixing it one bottle to 1 gallon of gas. ( 50/1 ) I run everything from 20/1 to 50/1 but it has me concerned about using it in the 20/1. Am I worried about nothing?

I have had a on & off clunking in the back of my 2000 Ford van and had the A/C quit on me a couple of weeks ago. Come to find out, the rear leaf spring bracket has rotted off, the spring went up to the floor board and smashed the rear A/C line. Ford tells me the only way to get that bracket is...

In the past year. The generator is inside of a heated building and has a block heater on it 24/7. I know it should have been run on load over the past year but that is past history. question is would you change the oil even though it has only one hour on it? By the way when it runs it supply's...

I called Prestone a while back about using DI water versus distilled water and the guy kinda did a "HUH"? Heres the dilemma, the people that provide the DI water tell me that the water is so pure that it looks for minerals to absorb into. Now I don't know if that is good or not. Will it help to...

I always prefill my oil filters. I am putting on a PF 932 oil filter on my 454 engine. This filter is a larger than normal filter and it took about 1.5 quarts of oil. As quick as I could pour the oil into the filter it filled all the way up till it started coming out of the small holes. The...

How long will oil in the plastic bottles last sitting on the shelf, either in a heated or non heated inviroment. If I found a good price on oil and wanted to stock up for a couple of years is it a good idea?

The factory idle can be set when the engine is initialy started? I have a 2000 Ford E-150 chateau van with the larger V-8 5.4L?.When I first start the engine it revs high, a lot higher than other newer Fords that I have driven (f-150s, 2000-2002)The engine knocks for a few seconds then settles...

I would like to do a complete transmission fluid change-over to a synthetic fluid. Do you run any cleaner in the trans. before the synthetic goes in? I will be having a local trans shop do the work. Also where would locate a temperature sensor on a trans. for a gage. All of this will be done on...

Has anybody out there put headers on a motorhome? and if you have was there a noticeable increase in fuel economy and was it worth the money?

I have a 1990 motorhome with a 454 4bbl. I am currently using rotella 15w40. I plan on going cross country to Oregon next summer and thought a thinner oil might help out on gas milage. Also thought about synthetic but afraid of possible oil consumption. The motothome has 18000 miles on it...
