My brother has a 2003 Ford Ranger XLT that has a strange issue with the A/c, hoping someone can offer some help. The a/c won't come on immediately when starting out, it was taking 18 - 25 miles of driving and then it would start cooling, and get very cold. Yesterday, the ambient temps in Raleigh...

Just ordered one of these...

I see that Blauparts is now offering Eurol motor oils, made in the Netherlands. The prices look attractive, much cheaper than the Ravenol of late. Does anyone have any experience with these products, and what is your opinion of them? I see that various types seem to meet all of the important...

Can a few year old Samsung Chromebook be rescued with a new OS? I have a 3 or 4 year old Chromebook that apparently is no longer getting updates and some banking websites are no longer interacting with the (Chrome) browser. Chrome says the version is current, but there is no way to get to the...

Out of curiosity, I just checked Blauparts website for Ravenol VST. $72.00+ for a 5 liter jug! That's a $22.00 increase over what I paid for it 8 months ago. I expected a price increase, but not that big of a one. I'm glad I stocked up earlier in the year, and have enough for two or three more...

My BIL just picked up a 20121 Chevy Equinox with the 1.5 T engine (6 speed auto), 27,000 miles on the ODO. I took a quick look under the hood for him and checked his oil level. It was a little high, and smelled a little like fuel, even though he had just finished a 3 hr drive to come visit me...

A co-worker of my BIL hopped in his truck this morning to head to work. Started truck, put it in gear, and it wouldn't move! Speedometer shot straight up to 50 mph when he gave it some gas. Got out, looked underneath for leaks or something, and the DRIVESHAFT was gone! I didn't ask for sure but...

Today I was searching the internet for some gunpowder, BE-86 to be exact. I ran across several sites, most of them reporting very high prices (of course) but all out of stock. You know the ones, Powder Valley, Brownell's, etc. Anyway, there were several (many) that were offering to sell the...

I hate to boast about expensive places I've visited, but I just came back from the gas station!

https://insideevs.com/news/563869/gm-mary-barra-autonomous-ride/ Just in case nobody has seen this one. Meanwhile Elon just promised FSD for next year, for the 9th year in a row.

Just finished doing an oil change on my 2018 E300 and decided to post some filter pics. This is a MANN filter purchased from the dealership (yeah, $18.00) and the replacement filter is the same. This filter was in service for 22 months, but has only 4000 miles on it, so a lot of short trips. I...

Or install solar panels, or complains about there being no electricity in Texas, show them this: Sorry for the ads.

I thought this was an excellent idea! Not so sure the guys in the video are using it to it's fullest advantage though. Saw it on Jalopnik this morning. About $225 though, so not for everybody.

My nephew has been in the air force for about 9 years, and has worked very hard to maintain his communications expertise as well as his physical training standards. He has just taken the assignment to the communications team for the Secretary of Defense! A quote from a website covering his...

Sirius XM must be getting very tired of people calling to cancel! My renewal bill for 2021 was $364.13! (All access), so naturally I called to cancel. While still speaking to the computer, they offered me All Access for $99.00 for the year! All I had to do was say YES. Now, after taxes, license...

Has anyone had experience with STP gasoline additives? I've heard that they're excellent products for the money, but have never use them personally. A good friend of mine tells me that they will clean up your cylinders and give you much better fuel economy by cleaning your injectors. He tells me...

What can anyone tell me about Pinnacle Oil Co. out of Indianapolis (?) Indiana? One of my favorite brands is going to be switching to this supplier soon, and I would like some impressions about the quality of the product.I don't know exactly what they will be offering yet, probably the normal...

I didn't see where this topic was moved, just closed. I hate to see an honest question go unanswered, regardless of the subject, so.... The shop owner was probably right, the clay bar MAY not have done a bit of good. The easiest test is to gently run your fingers over the paint, if it feels...
