    ZF Service kit question.

    Call FCP and tell them what you want. They are very helpful in confirming the right parts for your car. Considering the FCP lifetime warranty, it would be worth the call.

    2019 F150 - Owners Manual says 200K or 10 years for coolant - Reasonable?

    Test it. I suspect you are going to find it in great condition, in which case you can leave it until it needs to be changed. These newer coolants are so much better that the standard green coolants of the past.

    What are you eating right now?

    I've been seeing more choices for uncured hot dogs recently. Considering that it is the nitrites and nitrates that are killing us, I'm trying more or the uncured varieties.

    Invest money into mountain towing companies!

    Not always. I've seen at least one recovery that MORR has done, where the only purpose of the recovery was to pick up the trash, to avoid steep fines from the gov't. In those cases, there is no finesse at all.

    July 4, 1996 - Newspaper advertisement

    Some here on BITOG still expect to get oil filters for $2.50.

    "November 1963" movie being filmed here

    Considering that JFK attempted to have Castro assassinated, I'm open to the idea that Castro reciprocated. But I've always been very skeptical of any of the evidence that suggests anything other than Oswald acting alone. It all seems pretty conspiracy theory type of stuff.

    @Cujet, better be careful with Florida's new speeding law!

    The trooper in the video says 30 days in jail and a $500 fine. The jail time should definitely be a deterrent, but the fine seems very low. My nieces daughter just got a ticket for 104 in a 65, here in Utah. The fine is $700. I can't remember which Scandinavian county has a graduated...

    Project Cobra

    You do realize that if Carroll had been able to have his first choice for the Cobra power plant, it would have had a Chevy powerplant, right? Carroll Shelby approached Chevrolet first, with his proposal for the AC Cobra concept. Chevrolet turned him down because they had the Corvette. Ford...

    Grand touring vs. standard touring tires

    Grand Touring tires are made to feel more like a performance tire, so it will have a little nicer handling, and generally also have a higher speed rating than Touring tires. They also usually have a longer tread life. The ProContact is a very good tire, so it makes sense that the Maxlife 2...

    AMC Pacer

    Sexy is not a word that I would have ever used to describe the AMC Pacer. Not back then, when it first came out, nor now. Different? Absolutely. When the was first released, my friends referred to the body style as looking like a pregnant guppy. Car and Driver called it a flying fishbowl...

    Opinion on these filter brands - Baldwin, Donaldson & Fleetguard

    I agree with @MurkyAsparagus. These three make fine filters. I don't know if Donaldson makes one for your car, but if you can find a Donaldson Blue, these are their better filters.

    Subaru Owners, which diff fluid viscosity do you use?

    I always used M1 75W-90 in both the front and rear diff's in my wife's '13 Outback. I wasn't aware of any TSB, but the Service Manual showed that 90, 85W, 80W, or 75W-90 were all acceptable, depending upon operating temperature, with 75W-90 covering the greatest temperature range. It always...

    Another fire has started near me

    Wildfires aren't necessarily started intentionally. It could be a cigarette butt flicked out of a car window. A campfire that wasn't put out properly. Trailer safety chains dragging on the road and sparking. Careless target practice, perhaps even shooting exploding targets, without clearing...

    In-N-Out sues YouTube prankster

    Good questions. Initially, it would seem most likely that he is just looking to increase traffic on his channel, for profit. But his video seems pretty mean spirited, so it's easy to ask if there is more to it than making money.

    Figuring out what coolant for my Light Tower (MLT3060K)

    When you mentioned red coolant, this is what first came to mind for me. It would probably be my choice for a diesel engine, particularly one that is intended for industrial type uses. https://www.amazon.com/Zerex-Heavy-Extended-Antifreeze-Coolant/dp/B0011E91K4?th=1

    In-N-Out sues YouTube prankster

    From what I have seen and read, I think In-N-Out deserves treble damages, and some level of punitive payment. That said, I hope most of us appreciate the constitutional rights that we enjoy here in the USA, and recognize that it is very unfortunate that those in other parts of the world are not...

    In-N-Out sues YouTube prankster

    I did wonder about trespassing as a criminal charge. Anyone know what the maximum penalty is for trespassing in California?

    Dad's 1947 Lincoln coupe

    It's alive! That is cool to see all the lights working. Now it looks like more that something filling up a spot in the garage. Great work.

    What Constitutes a true BITOGer

    I'm not sure about the original list. I consider myself a dyed blue and true BITOG'er, but I don't meet any of the criteria first posted. What about these? 1) Have spent months consternating over what oil to use in a newly acquired car, even posting a thread here on BITOG to get advice on...

    In-N-Out sues YouTube prankster

    No jail time for civil suits. But there is no question that he is making his living at the expense of others, in this case In-N-Out. I hope they are awarded not only treble damages, but also a very handsome punitive settlement. Make this guy think long and hard, before he defames anyone else.
