I'm not adverse to doing 15k changes in the oil, it is not a money issue, and I understand the reaons for changing the differential oil, but I'm not understanding why GM does not require that frequent a change and has the same brand differentials. Why was my 2012 GMC 3/4 ton that pulled the same...

Have a 17 Ram dually with 6.7 diesel and 4wd. Oil change interval for differentials is 15000 miles by the book. I've searched alot and get little info but I had an 05 ram that I did 15,000 interval until 30k and then did not do it again and sold it at 85K with no issues. I had a GMC duramax 2500...

Hi-got a 17 silverado with 4.3 and AFM. It is the new 4.3 engine so no experience to speak of on internet, and does have the AFM about which I have questions. There is a device from Range Technology that goes into the OBDII that will make the AFM not work which I find many people with the 5.3 V8...

Hi-did not check phone app as we ride horses well off beaten track. I like the garmin's ability to document trails so we can take them again until we learn them. Thanks. Bill

Quattro Pete-I chose a cheap one on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ISAMUA6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to start with, and have not had any issues. Just looking at youtube videos and practicing on my batteries! I don't expect any problems based on the answers I got...

Hi-anyone use a hand held GPS-for hiking, horseback riding, geocaching, etc? We've used a Garmin 10 for some years but are looking to "upgrade" and wonder which ones others may have found useful. Thanks, Bill

Thanks for the many replies. I've spent some time on YouTube and I'm going to go with one of the $20 Amazon choices for now to see it works. I appreciate the time spent to answer my questions. Bill

Hi-I don't have one, and don't know how to use one and would like to correct both deficits. What is a good "starter" one, and what are some reasonable websites or other learning places for me? Thanks. Bill

Hi-Just purchased a 17 Silverado crew cab 4.3 v6, 4wd, November 1, 2016 with over $6500 off sticker. Drove it to Arizona, got over 29mpg part of the trip, over 25 average, and it now has 4000 miles and all tanks have been over 20mpg. Not leather, but nicely equipped, tow capacity at 7200, and my...

Thanks to all for your helpful responses, I have lots of info to sort though. Bill

Criteria are not well thought out by me, I saw the article, was intrigued by the items listed for choices, and thought I'd see what the Bitog posters opinions were as I'm always impressed by the experiences here. For me I'd say "general purposes" would be best, carrying on hikes, while riding...

sorry-link follows http://www.artofmanliness.com/2011/11/29/how-to-choose-the-perfect-survival-knife/

Hi-found an interesting article about choosing a survival knife at the site "art of manliness" posted in 2011 and wonder what Bitogers think, choices they have made, and what they think is a good general "survival knife". Thanks in advance. Bill

Hi-Leo99-the usual term "projection" I think covers that. Bill

Hi-Having been a psychiatrist since 1975 (I am 72 and still work), BITOG is absolutely my favorite site on the Web and this post is why. In my opinion, mild OCD is the best "pathology" for adults in our society to have as it keeps our culture going. It is relatively harmless compared to most of...

Hi-I have a mid year 2010 MBP that was still running leopard and 4g ram. I also went the OWC route, got 16g of 1066 ram, 250 SSD, and bought Sierra off ebay and spent an hour last night installing the drive and booting it and then putting in the 16 or ram as I was told one had to have at least...

Hi-I recently changed where my computer is in relation to the router and purchased a $6.99 no name usb adapter from Amazon, came in 2 days, took 5 minutes to install and I have 150Mbps on my 6 year old desktop with no problems that I can tell. Most of the USB units on Amazon looked alike so I...

Great post, something I have wanted to do so I made a bootable USB with Linux Mint Cinnamon x64, and put it on a partition on my desktop. Took about 90 minutes total and I was working my way around the site. Looking forward to exploring this system I've read about but never explored and the...
