@AutoMechanic that sucks. I dealt with some garbage at work, a few years ago it got bad enough that I was willing to pull the pin with over 17 years in. I began researching other opportunities for my experience. I told upper management that there are plenty of other places hiring right now...

@D60, us white trash over at the trailer park are quite proud!

I had snagged a picture of the filter from the Grand Caravan. With zoom I can see it's a Chinese made Napa Proselect.

Did the parents 2021 Grand Caravan 3.6. 26,670km. Out was unknown and in went Castrol Edge 0w20 and Mopar filter. I used some Mobil 0w30 to top up past the 5L of Castrol.

Went to diagnose the speed related tick on the 3500 towing the 3 horse tag. Figured it was the trailer as there was some bearing play. Pulled all four wheels, inspected bearings and brakes. Freshened up the grease, retorque spindles as per Dexter and adjust brakes. Always a good excuse to do...

So I took a trip down to Cambodian Tire to snag a filter. So, the possibly Champ made OEMPlus filters we're sold out. My local store has a large stock of Wix now, the cross was made in SE Asia, now forgetting but possibly Vietnam. I picked up the Mopar filter, with the only COO being the US...

It's 31c here today. While not crazy like you southerners, eith the humidity, it's cooking up here. I took the Trailblazer to town, fuelled it and snagged a can of refrigerant as the ac is not as cold as it should be. I'll need another can as it barely touched it. I snagged some oil and a...

Alright, I'll bite. I had posted this years prior but was a long one. I had my 2017 Ram 3500 6.7 deleted. Used a Bulkydog tuner, 5" flo-pro exhaust (4" kits were back order during covid) but I left the EGR cooler and all plumbing intact but all electrical connectors untouched I wanted to...

I've been lucky i guess, never needed any special tool for those. Maybe once needed something to hold the pin still, maybe a regular wrench.... otherwise, I use my fingers to hold it still until it makes contact with the caliper bracket and thats it.

About 20 years ago, myself and my three older brothers were all goofing around during a visit. My dad said "I have four sons and they are all retards." It stuck with me because he was right. I still joke about it today. My dad, who's in his 80s, has dementia. I dont get to talk with him...

Got the driver door working again on the 2004 Escape. Put some dry lube through the outer door handle and magically she works. So..... Im going to clean it up this week, maybe throw a new front wheel bearing in it and put her for sale.

@Number_35 I have to keep in decent shape for work but also, I like being in shape, you can enjoy everything better.... if that makes sense. I have had some reoccurring injuries that keep resetting me. My new work schedule is more balanced so I will likely get back into martial arts. I like...

Did my morning interval run, had some coffee. Rototilled the garden, raked it and seeing as I was that far in, planted the thing. Last weekend, it was below freezing at night, cold during the day and very windy. We are finally well above freezing at night so perfect soil temperatures to...

Sore. Began my sprinting interval training now. A long way from last year and even further from the good old days. Oh well, the hardest part is starting.... but mostly the next day...... I have been working a lot with my youngest daughter on her driving. She passed her driver's license...

Im not an energy drink fan, prefer black coffee but, once a year or every two years, a situation arises when I'll drink a Redbull. Its the only drink I can find that does not have any version of fake sugar.

Thanks for sharing and glad you got her going!

First time tracking mileage in the old 2004 Ford Escape 3.0, 230,000+km. I used it for a couple weeks as my daily driver to bomb to and from work. 13.8L/100km.

2021 WL Grand Cherokee L 3.6, 85,000km. Finally took it out to stretch its legs. 867km round trip, decent speeds ans a little city driving. 10.111 L/100km. Not bad in my mind. My old Trailblazer could only manage low 12's.

Visiting my aging parents. One of my brothers came over as well. We fixed a few odds and ends around the house, then got the rototiller going. It sits most of the year and had stale gas in it. My brother said its always hard to start and runs rough. Well, we threw out all the old jerry cans...

No pics but did some work on the loaner gas powered trash pump. Of course, something broke. The rotary kill switch had broken off, so finally got time to wire in a toggle. Had to add a longer ground wire and eyelet as well. I zipped it all on, pulled the plug and it works. Now she can go...
