    Family farm and home Mobil Super 5000 $2.99 qt, -20deg washer fluid $.99 gallon

    I just left our local Family Farm and home and found the Mobil super at $2.99 per qt. While not a great price its a pretty solid buy for individual qts, I picked up a few for my mower and snowblower. -20 degree washer fluid also at 99 cents per gallon. I doubt youll find that any cheaper all...

    Adding ATF to a 10 spd "Allison" branded GM trans in a late model GM truck

    After determining the plug size on the side of my 2024 Silverado 3500HD "Allison" branded trans I came up with an idea for an easy way to fill the unit after draining and servicing. Rather than pumping ATF into the side plug I figured a better way would be to put a plug into the hole with a hose...

    2014 Chevy Cruze 1.4T 121,300 miles Blackstone

    I sent a sample off to Blackstone for the 2014 Chevy Cruze that we have owned for 2 yrs. I have done 5k oil changes since we bought it in April 2021 with 103k on it. We are the third owner.

    Lack of information on new vehicles

    I have noticed an aggravating trend on the last couple of GM/Chevrolet vehicles I have bought. The owners manual may list a fluid qty for replacement and maybe a service interval, but they no longer list what fluid to use in differentials and transfer cases. The manual simply says "see dealer"...

    Ordering vs buying off the lot

    I keep hearing rumblings that the domestic auto makers are trying to move the customers to order their new vehicle vs selling stock units off the lot. The vast majority of vehicles I have bought new were ordered so that I got all the things I wanted and didnt pay for things I didnt (like wheel...

    Oil fill tube for GM 6.6L gas L8T

    I just changed the oil in my 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 with the L8T 6.6 gas engine. Since the engine sits down and back compared to my other trucks I have to stand on a 3 step ladder just to fill the oil. Mine came with only a cap in the drivers side valve cover. Since it was just a cap...

    Adding an external filter to a 2021 GM truck

    Unfortunately the new HD gas engine trucks dont have an external spin on filter for the trans. Is anyone familiar with a way to add one without cutting everything up ? I am glad to see that the trans pan has a drain plug and could be dropped without disembowling the underside of the truck, I...

    2014 Chevy Cruze 1.4t trans advice

    I recently picked up a 2014 Cruze 1.4t with 104,000 miles on it. One of the biggest reasons I bought this particular car was because the owner claimed they had changed the oil regularly and after checking the car over it appeared it was fairly well maintained. It appears the coolant had been...

    Wrangler JK manual trans fluid

    My nephew has a 2012 Wrangler JK with the manual trans. He was looking for a recommendation for a fluid replacement. Royal purple and Mopar both have a syn fluid that lists for his application but they are both in the $20 per quart range. The trans is fussy on certain shifts (which I am told is...
