    LED Bulb flashes on/off 1 second interval in ceiling fan fixture

    I bought and installed a Hunter fan. Didn't even know until a week later, the light was dimmable. Pull down on the chain and hold it and it dims. Pull again and it goes bright.

    AGM Battery Replacement

    I will get it tested and go from there. I have never heard of any of these manufacturers before. My local Blains sells a Duration battery, but unknown who makes it. It was easier with the old 'made by Johnson Controls' batteries.

    AGM Battery Replacement

    Hi all, I bought a 2011 Jeep G.C. recently and it has an AGM battery hidden under the front seat. At 55K miles and four model years old should I consider a replacement before our typical Wisconsin winter? If yes, is there a recommended brand I should look for?

    2010 Ford Explorer

    OK, you guys talked me out of it. I bought a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 55,000 miles. Looks like new, drives very nice and lots of bells and whistles. They extended the warranty because it was "certified" used car.

    2010 Ford Explorer

    As the subject suggests, I will be looking at a 2010 Explorer with about 157K on it. Very good condition, hwy miles, 4x4 with a 4.0L V-6. I did an extensive search and was not able to find much info on defects or shortcomings of the truck other than something about the transmission. I am kind...

    Wix oil filter duration question

    I just put a white Wix oil filter on my son's 2003 Nissan Altima. I am hoping he can run this filter and QSUD until about March or maybe April. He puts about 7-800 miles a month on the car. Any doubts about this filter? I have never used Wix and don't know anything about them. I got it with the...

    Evap Codes - Camry

    Your canister and the vacuum switching valve are under the car and exposed to winter weather. A common problem on Toyota is the VSV rusts to the point it is non-functional. If it does not work, it will appear your charcoal canister is defective. Save some money and get a second opinion to double...

    Just broke the Maglite

    Isn't the Maglight warrantied forever? I would check into it and maybe a letter to the company.

    Replaced Opti-Coat with CQuartz UK - Holy Gloss!

    Nice shine. Question: Seeing that you are from California, do you guys out there have to wash / wax / polish more frequently due to pollution, ocean air, wild fires, etc. that you have going on.

    NTI Backup Now 5

    It is part of a package with NTI CD & DVD maker. It does not take up much space. I skipped the install once when I wiped my HD and NTI did not work well. I re-installed everything and all was good. I would just leave it.

    Purolator's Lack of Communication. Contacts.

    I guess I will never understand you guys. Why on God's green earth would any of you ever expect to receive a refund from Purolator, or for that matter, any other manufacturer? This will NOT EVER HAPPEN, period! "I accept that manufacturing defects may happen..." No you don't! "Let's put some...

    3.6 pentastar oil question

    Now I don't have your manual in front of me, but my Dodge OM specs IIRC, a Pennzoil or Shell brand 5W20 in my Pentastar. I changed my FF at about 3000 miles and put PU in it. You could ask at the dealership and I think they might follow the OM specs, especially in Wisconsin.

    Interesting Purolator Info

    I interpret the miles to be the same on the regular filter, they certainly would not be higher. The thing that sets the P1 apart is the filtering abilities. I run mine for 3-5k. I will continue to buy them also.

    disappointed during repair.

    Are you sure that the "carbon" pieces weren't the remains of the tensioner block disintegrating?

    Wearever brake parts

    I was looking at the Advance Auto parts ad and thought with the deals and online codes I could get the parts for an impending brake job. I have never purchased the "Wearever" brand from AAP before. Can anyone speak to their quality or lack thereof? Seems like a bargain if they are any good.

    List of Purolator failures

    "thank you but a lot of people stopped using them including us" "maybe its better to forget about it and never use them again that is what we did" Got it.
