    Generator - Gas or Not

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UvS_D4_lF5U This guy says fuel stabilizer doesn't help ethanol. I run my small engines empty and it has helped to keep the carb jets from getting varnish in them. I like the propane idea because propane last forever.

    Brand loyalty is a weird thing

    I've been a Supertech guy for a long time. I bought a 2016 F150 Lariat with a 3.5 ecoboost in July. Dealer changed the oil when I got it and put on the sticker for a oci at 7500 miles. I changed it at 5000 miles and put in PP with a Fram Ultra. I'm second guessing myself thinking I should of...

    I've plugged several tires and even seen a guy take a drill bit and waller the hole to get the plug to go in and it worked. If you have implement tires and 4 wheelers you diffidently need to plug.

    200,000 First Transmission Fluid Change

    I have a friend that has a Dodge minivan that has 200,000 miles on it without a trans fluid change. He took it to a shop today and they said they wouldn't touch it with that many miles on it. What's everybody's opinion, just keep driving it or find a shop that will change it? Thanks
