    Shipping vehicles across the country?

    Not quite 2 years ago I moved from Oregon to North Carolina. Almost exactly 3,000 miles. I still own THREE diesel pickup trucks that are parked in a storage lot in Oregon. Long story short, they cannot be driven to NC under their own power. It is also not possible for me to sell them for what...

    Towing without 85w140?

    I have a 1998 Cherokee. It did not come with the tow package but I am installing a hitch. I won't tow more than about 2,000lbs with it. The manual says for towing you need a transmission cooler, which I'm installing also, and 85w140 gear oil in the rear. I've got some pretty fresh synthetic 90w...

    What is this pump?

    I recently bought a bunch of stuff from an estate. The previous owner worked on boats his entire life and had a ton of NOS vintage stuff. (Some parts from the 50's still in it's original packaging) I've got these two pumps...but I'm not sure what they are used for. Obviously some marine...

    A/C stop leak and "synthetic" refrigerant?

    I have a 1998 Jeep Cherokee and the air conditioning system has a slight leak. It's not that big of deal, I only have to refill it about every 6 months with a $5 can of R134A. With that said, I'm wondering about the available stop leak products sold for air conditioning systems. Do they work...

    Hitch/trailer lock that takes a standard pad lock?

    I'm trying to reduce the number of keys in my life and have switched to using mostly SFIC type locks. These are commercial type locks that let me use the same key for my house doors, padlocks, and a variety of other things. I'm looking for a hitch lock that doesn't come with yet another key. I...

    How to remove positive lead from starter?

    I'm installing a new starter on my truck and I want to use a remote starter solenoid instead of the one that is attached to the starter. (Long story why) I want to connect my new 2/0 battery cable directly to the main positive lead on the starter, avoiding the OEM solenoid. The problem is I'm...

    Oil pressure gauge to determine filter change time

    I'm installing a remote oil filter on my truck. I'm also going to install a bypass filter and send away regular oil samples to determine when I actually need to change my oil, not just some nice round number that makes me feel good. I'm wondering if it would be possible to install an oil...

    Rust in a fuel tank - how much is a problem?

    I recently got a used 50-something gallon fuel transfer tank I'm going to use for diesel. It's got a little bit of rust on the inside. Nothing major, doesn't look like it's flaking off or clogging anything, just some surface rust. I'm wondering how big of deal this is? The tank has a...
