    Rusting Sig P365

    Thank you guys for this thread. The gun store I stopped by - one of the larger in the area with a shooting range in it - acted like the Sig should be just as good as the Glock for rust prevention. It's a little tiring, here in 2019 now, that rust issues just keep being lied about. My S&W...

    Comparison: OEM Ram 1500 Air Filter, Wix 42725

    So here's a nearly dumb question: are some transmission breathers routed to the air cleaner, or is there any air-cleaner sensor that would affect shifting of an automatic transmission? It really seems like the transmission shifts smoother after putting the clean air filter in, and that just...

    Blowing out a filter does not work.

    Not only does it not work, but in the trucking industry where large filters are more expensive, we're starting to believe that the amount of air pressure needed (or perhaps used) to clean out air filters actually opens the pores/holes up, and causes engines to go bad faster in / around really...

    Purolator Pure 1 filter cut-open pics, with debris

    I trust Pure One. But I should do another filter change now at about the 500 mile mark just do have a cleaner filter. I'll leave the new oil in there though. They may not be the most efficient motors, but there's something to be said for these strong old inline sixes. It almost has 185,000 on...

    Purolator Pure 1 filter cut-open pics, with debris

    Sorry guys, I posted but didn't get to edit or finish. I sunk the Jeep in a water hole. Hydrolocked it. Took the plugs out on-trail, shot a lot of water out, cleaned out the distributor, and then continued wheeling it, then drove it home 40 miles. Changed the oil the next day, and was curious...

    Aluminum-based grease through u-joints/ball joints

    Here is the issue: Wanting to buy and have a tube of some really good grease on hand for the vehicles, I just used Royal Purple Ultra grease through my grease gun, and lubed up the ball joints and u-joints of a 1991 Jeep two days ago. Only after did I come across the compatibility chart that...
