    dual exhaust on chevy tahoe?

    I have a 1998 tahoe with a 350. I was thinking of putting dual exhaust on, but I got to thinking this might look to wanna beish. I would love to have that bad $%# sound, but not if it's going to look gay. I mean when you think of a suv, you think family vehicle right? And yes, I have 3 kids. So...

    recovery straps

    My question is which method would be better when hooking up a recovery strap/s to a vehicle that's stuck in the ditch, mud, or snow. My question isn't the hook up to the pull vehicle, but on the vehicle that's being recovered. Hook up #1: use one strap and use a recovery point on the vehicle...

    tip your barber?

    Do you tip? I currently don't, does that make me look bad? I came across this on the net: "The difference between a regular job and the jobs that require tips is that they are service jobs, and they are called service jobs because they are serving you. They personally and intimately effect...

    GTX & Pennzoil

    I have a co-worker who asked me which is better between the two. He's asking about 10W30 dino. I told him it really doesn't matter as they're both good oils. Any other information that I'm missing that I could tell him? One thing I don't like about castrol is they won't give out the viscosity...

    wax build up with pennzoil?

    If this topic has been covered, please direct me, as I didn't see any in my search. I've read (not on this site) how some people say that using pennzoil will create a waxy build up in the engine or valves. Any truth to this? If false, which I'm sure it is, why do people make claims like this?

    penzoil or havoline?

    Have been using havoline 10W30 dino for the last 2-3 years because at the time the price was cheaper per quart. Currently in my local area the price is now the same per quart, and it's been like this for the past 9 months. I was wondering if I should switch back to penzoil since that's what I...

    synthetic back to dino?

    I bought a 2003 bonneville with 75,000 miles on it. The previous owner used full synthetic. Can I go back to dino oil without hurting anything? Would the answer be the same if someone used a dino/synthetic blend?

    5W30 or 10W30?

    I have a 1998 Chevy Silverado with a 5.7L. The truck has 95,000 miles. The owners manual says I can use either weight as long as it's 0 degrees or above. If it's below 0, 5W is preffered obviously. So, which should I use if it stays above 0 degrees and why?

    92 octane in 3.8 supercharged?

    Would I be doing any harm if I use regular 87 octane in a 3.8L supercharged engine? It's recommended to use premium gas.

    7,000 miles on dino?

    I'm looking at buying a 2002 pontiac bonneville with the 3.8 supercharged engine. The guy told me he relies on the on board computer to tell him when to change the oil. He said it comes to about every 7,000 miles. He takes the vehicle to the dealer for oil changes, so I don't know what brand is...

    On average, when do you people change yours? I usually change mine every 30,000, but I was thinking that's too soon?

    opps.. went 6,000 miles on dino oil

    I have a 1997 Pontiac Bonneville with 148,000 miles. For whatever reason, I lost track of miles and time. I went about 5,875 miles without changing the oil or filter. I use AC Delco PF 47 filters and Havoline 10w30 dino oil. Any concerns?

    balance tires with valve cap on or off?

    Does it make a difference if tires are balanced with the valve caps off? Someone told me that if the tires are balanced with the caps off, the balance will change when one puts them on. I don't see how this would affect the balance as it would be so small. When I'm talking valve caps I'm...

    going beyond 3,000 with havoline dino?

    I usually change my oil at 2,500-3,000 miles. I was just curious if it matters any if I change it at 3,500 or even 3,700 miles? There have been times that I've went beyond my normal milage rountine by a few hundred miles. I have a 1998 Chevy Silverado with the 5.7L and a 1997 Pontiac Bonneville...

    engine ran in the red area: any damage?

    I was driving my 1997 Pontiac Bonneville on the highway when all of a sudden the check gages light comes on. I look down and see my engine temperature gauge is in the red! I drove about another minute before I could pull off. The vehicle didn't start at first, but did after about 1 hour. I think...

    silicone and metal

    Will silicone corrode automobile metal? Some of my sticky foam under my hood is coming down and I was thinking of using silicone to hold it in place, but I heard that silicone will corrode some metals. Is this ok to use?
