    2020 Toyota Sienna

    My first Japanese car since 1980. Initial impression is very nice, well appointed, quiet. Seriously, you cannot hear the engine at idle standing next to the car. But that's not why I bought it. I simply cannot lift my special needs daughter in and out of the Chrysler any more. She is a grown...

    Copper in UOA

    I've gotten interested in this topic lately. I've looked at many UOA, and noticed that some oils will show a higher concentration of copper than others. There may even be several UOA that show low copper, then a brand change will be made, and copper spikes. This may explain some of it. I have...

    Restrictor Ramblings

    I got this idea from a thread on an import board. The discussion was in regards to restricting oil to turbos.Might be old news to most of you, just sharing an idea. In my mind the restrictor should be on the output of the head, after the filter. YMMV, some folks restrict the input. I do not know...

    What the Heck/Pickup?

    With so many words being re-defined in todays world, this one really got me. When did a flippin' golf cart get to be called a pickup truck? And a half-ton at that? Shocking how the english language is being assaulted by the TBATV . Pickup Truck

    New Ford Hybrid

    Interesting concept. Lots of times patents are issued to protect IP, not because they will hit production. This looks viable though... Ford V8 Hybrid

    Can't make this stuff up

    19 year old girl gets her head stuck in oversize diesel tip on a bro truck. Hold my beer and watch this... A Minnesota teen had an exhausting ordeal at a country music concert this past weekend when she got her head stuck in the tailpipe of a pickup truck. And, yes, alcohol was involved. A...

    Good deal on a bypass filter

    No affiliation, stumbled on this while looking for a vintage MG100. Looks like a really good deal for a Racor clone. I doubt it's a real Racor at that price point... could be I suppose since not manufactured any more. Cartridges will still be available for some time to come.

    Fram PB50

    Fram bypass filter for several tractors. Fits Baldwin OB1305 head, replacement for Baldwin B50. Caught them on sale at the local Farm and Home for 1.00 each, so one got sacrificed. Simply nothing special here. Thin can, standard media, simple button in output for restriction, leaf spring at top...
