    ACDelco PF63 C&P

    Silicone benefits come into play on longer service intervals and/or more severe service. I prefer the better ADBV but a regular one does just fine in most cases such as what was just posted here. I like the Champ made filters.

    Running Lean. Where to look?

    You have to smoke test to diagnose this one. Smoke will find vac leaks that spraying carb cleaner will not find. I have seen this happen on a Northstar where the evap purge solenoid was the culprit allowing too much in but not enough to set a code. Another thing- cleaning the MAF was a good idea...

    Help cross reference an oil filter

    You are taking some chances if you cross reference based only on size and threads - there are other specs that need to be met as well. I would run the factory spec filter and rest easy or if you must have a "better" filter then buy the PPE filter that is a correct fit.

    My first odd credit card delay....and

    You said: "Buy stuff at HD on Fido Visa. Notified. Not really related but can't get through to a couple sites for an odd reason, but carry on. Says site is "weapons" related, blocked. Huh?" I interpreted that to mean your c/c company was blocking a weapons purchase. This is actually not...

    2015 Impala 10th gen rear brake pad replacement

    You MUST retract the caliper via a scan tool or other method or damage will happen if you try to push them in without them being in service mode. There are ways to do it w/o a scan tool -Google brings up the methods. Once in serviced mode and pads changed then you must exit service mode.

    2007 Dodge Grand Caravan - leaking radiator - Spectra brand OK?

    Spectra radiators have been just as good as the others but one thing to never run made by Spectra is a fuel pump. Given that if I was given the choice I would choose the Denso or even a TYC brand.

    Plumbing house repipe, copper or PEX?

    Had our current custom home built in 2014 and went with Pex. This was all new to me being originally from the east coast and used to copper pipes. I Could not be happier with it - a few rare texas freezes didn't effect the pex after thawing out and the water taste isn't objectionable.

    Of course changing it early is never a bad idea especially when $25 is less than $5000 to replace.
