    Plastic Repair

    Can anyone suggest a way to repair this plastic piece? It is the side panel on my 1991 Honda 300 4x4 ATV. The panel attaches to the gas tank by way of the slide in connector. It appears as over time a stress crack has formed in the right angle of the section. Buying a new section is not...

    Does anyone have any info on the new Nissan Frontier 3.8L, Direct Injection, V6 engine (3.8 VQ) and their 9 speed automatic transmission. Do they have cylinder sleeves or is it the plasma-transferred wire arc (PTWA) sprayed onto the cylinder bore? My daughter was wanting a new vehicle and likes...

    Which brake pads for towing?

    I have installed the Raybestos Element 3 EHT pads on the front and rear with Bendix severe duty rotors. Seems to stop as well as the Bendix semimetallic severe duty pads but with no obnoxious dust. They might stop a little better but it is hard to tell.

    Which brake pads for towing?

    I am going to keep the Bendix MetLock Rotors as they are almost new with less than 5,000 miles on them. They seem like good rotors. I think there is several new formulations of pad materials but with the Covid outbreak getting in touch with someone at most companies is nearly impossible.

    Which brake pads for towing?

    I have a 2008, F150, Crew Cab, 5.4L, 4X4, 6.5 ft bed, 78,000 miles. Weighs in around 6000 pounds. When I bought it the brakes sucked, brake dust was bad and it ate rotors.

    The 15 Year/500,000 Mile Warranty had no charge FREE for just letting them service your ride. I do not think we will use it but was curious. We have 3 free oil changes from the dealership because the wife registered her F150 with the FORD PASS app. Those 3 free oil changes will give her a...
