Took a minute to find this again, just another test of their quality here..lol

China was the first to mass produce items 2000 yrs ago. They first learned to mass produce very high grade swords for its own military to fight with. Later China became the best place on the planet to get high grade swords/knives, so before guns many world leaders ordered all types of battle...

First half crank engine I saw was about 15yrs ago in an old Featherlite weedeater. Big "WTH?" moment for me too..lol Some compressor pumps use Half crank too so look at those breakdowns before you buy!

Old post I know, I never tried PRT sorry, but we have an Infiniti I30 that had KYB struts from factory. It never rode or handled well & one totally froze around 80k. I put Bilsteins on it they handled better but were too stiff riding, didn't last much longer than KYBs. I put Gabriel's on it in...

I see Goodyear & DOD will soon make more real rubber from Dandelion plants. Maybe we'll have more real rubber again someday too so wipers, tires, etc can last like they used too again? Seems Dandelion & Rubber tree shares same compound? Starting off its just so military has rubber as worlds...

Ditto on Icon, Ditto on Beams failing to fit on Pin design cars. Wish they did make a good flip/close adaptor for pin design vehicles similar to older metal frames. My old Dakota just cannot use a Beam at all. None I've tried ever stayed on long anyway. Grrrr! Now' I've tried most models/brands...

My freind was a foreman at a Firestone at the time and never saw any bad tires back then. In fact Firestone never changed anything but the name on the tires in question and the issue simply went away. Firestones problem actually started from owners ignoring low air pressure in higher sitting...

Michelin replaced our 4yr old Destiny tires for dry rotting so bad (I had to pay mount/bal). The replacement set they gave us (Primacy MXM4) did same thing, just as fast/bad. So buy a good brand from a reputable dealer, maintain them correctly & you should get another set at least. Yep' 5yrs...

In a nut shell as long as it don't ping your perfectly fine. Most newer engines will not ping today unless you get bad gas or they have an issue like bad sensor or carbon build up because the computer compensates everything today. Wife has owned a 2000 Infiniti since new with 10:1 compression...

No' you just never see all the smoke behind yours when your driving it like everyone else does.

Idk about this oil but I put Harvest King in my Tundra & Wifes Infiniti and within a week or so they both developed major oil leaks. I drained both engines and put Mobil1 back in again cause its what I usually run. That HK $10/5qt sale price got my attention though. Grrr! The Infiniti leak...

I had an old 1989 Shadow ES Turbo/5spd that was fairly quick. Well' when it ran it was quick...lol The issue with the old Myitchybushy cars was the same as most GM cars is their engine machine work was absolutely terrible. If you got one that was done right your good for yrs to come, but' if not...

Last two sets I bought for my Tundra were RockAuto clearance deals. My rears were about $6..lol Always new in box just marked down to make room for new items. Bought its shocks like that too. Well I got 3 shocks anyway, had to buy 4th at parts store. It was less than half the cost when done. I...

I just got another set of Pro-Acts for our Infiniti and they still have the coated metal shims F/R. I never had dust from mine & I run them pretty hard on my Tundra. Also had metal shims fwiw. Both of our vehicles have aftermarket wheels so I hate dust from pads believe me. I suspect their...

I had a 72 Chevy Custom Deluxe for yrs. One of only a couple I saw with lots of factory options including ps, pb, a/c, am/fm,carpet, tinted glass, tilt steering wheel too so mine was pretty loaded. Light blue/white with red/white/blue seats. White leather had scroll on seat the door panels had...

I used to swear by my Tundra V8 cause other than reg maintenence Ive never put a wrench on it. That was until this spring when I had to replace my valve cover gaskets costing $36 and 1hr by myself. I have just under 400k miles so far & never burned a drop of oil. My 6th Toy, owned over 200...

Its good it lowers for you but it still looks too tall for many people to ride safely. If makers made seats low enough so short riders can safely sit on one they'd actually sell about 3 times as many bikes at the least. I know after makers began producing all their dirt bikes too tall for the...

The way vehicles oil pans are made today I suspect sales have raised quite a bit on these drains, I may put one on an old tractor with a hose on it due to drain location? Don't have to tell anyone here because we all know already but my neighbors on both sides and a friend of mines car all had...

If that was a 750 I'd say "whats this bikes vin?"..lol My 750 was stolen, looked just like it back in early 80's. Never recovered it even though they caught the guy 3 yrs later they never found it. They only gave him 1yr probation and supposed to pay restitution. My insurance paid me off for...

Put this oil in my Tundra 5W-30 and my wife's Infiniti 5W-20 couple ago and both developed oil leaks within the first month. Drained it out put Mobil 1 back in, I normally run it in everything and my wife's car stopped leaking just a few days later. But' I had to change my valve cover gaskets...
