About a 2 years ago, I had a new furnace and outdoor unit installed. The outdoor unit is now out of level. (The new unit is larger than the old, so they laid down runner/crusher type stone underneath.) Is 2 years too long for this to be handled at no cost to me, or a discounted price? (This...

Anyone recommend a good mid-range tire a Honda grocery getter? Currently running Nokian's which are worse than OEM Goodyear trash GM used in the early 90's. I'm only only looking to keep this about another year (2 max). I don't want to spend Michelin money - but want something quiet, and...

Random ask - anyone in central PA have experience with installing spray foam? Freezing in my office again (sits over a garage) - so I'm on the hunt for an installer.

Hi folks: I have a new Hisense TV that I turned on Google Parental Controls. Mainly my kids will use it for gaming. However, with parental controls on, it will not switch to HDMI. (Meaning the kids can't use their gaming device). Anyone familiar with a setting that I'm missing?

Wondering if there are any Docker / Linux experts out there familiar with Filezilla. Setup is on a cheap Racknerd VPS running headless. My kids are into Minecraft Bedrock which I kinda have running pretty well. I started playing around with Portainer and Docker and went down a bit of a rabbit...

Hey guys: I have been looking at forums all day and my eyes are crossed with Linux permissions. Figured I would try here first, as the Unbuntu forum guys are generally a-holes to new users asking simple questions. Background: I found a deal on a Virtual Private Server (VPS). So I decided to...

Coming from a Honda that used 10w-30. My new Toro manual (Briggs and Stratton motor) says 10w-30 may need to be checked more frequently when used over 80°F due to burn off. The temp chart recommends synthetic 5w-30 up to 100°F outside air temp. (I can't imagine I will be mowing in 100 degree...

Hey guys: So I'm not exactly a huge car detailer - so need some help. My tires look really bad - they have the brown "bloom" discussed in this thread: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/ugly-brown-michelin-tires.356004/ I don't want shiny tires - I actually dislike it. I tried an...

Hey folks: I track my maintenance through the CARFAX app. Yesterday I received a notice about a recall and stop sale. My google-fu was unable to find anything, other than a reference to a Canadian recall for rear frame corrosion. (I'm not in Canada). Anyone see something similar? From what I...

2020 Honda Pilot with about 10k miles here. I'm already receiving this code - which specifies a rear diff fluid change? This seems really early - or am I missing something?

Random ask for assistance - in case anyone has run into this. I have lost heat on the driver side only. The Honda part is $150+, and apparently back-ordered. (The part has been grinding for a while, so I'm just changing the part). I bought something from Rock auto, but it appears that I need...

Can someone recommend a KVM switch that switches fast? I really only need to switch keyboard and mouse between two systems on my desk. (I use dedicated monitors - so no need to switch video). Thanks.

Hey folks: I have an old shop vac that supposedly takes a VF3500 filter. They were difficult to find for a while at the orange depot, so I made due with something from Amazon. I just did some reno work - and the thing spewed insulation dusted everywhere. (Wife = pissed). Around 2010 they...

Folks: I'm not sure if this is the right sub-forum. I'm doing to late summer cleaning and am looking to remove adhesive clear tape from a stainless steel fridge, and some stickers that my kids have put on glass. I started with goo-gone. It removes the adhesive well, but plastic or paper...

Folks: I picked up a Tacklife pressure washer pretty cheap. The casting is terrible - you can actually see gouges in the head. The fill hole has a dipstick that - according to the directions anyway - you are not supposed to screw back in to check the level. (Much like a Honda mower). Great...

Hey folks: I took my 2 year old car on a 1000 mile trip - and it is pretty covered in bugs. I'm clueless about detailing. Is a bug and tar remover the way to go, or a clay bar? I'm guessing whatever I do will strip the wax, and I need to apply something after. What should I use? (Spray...

Unfortunately - I was talked into some rear FCS struts by my local mechanic. (09 Honda CRV 100k miles). They lasted about 3 years. (Very low miles - maybe 15k max). Now, even on newly resurfaced roads - it hops like a bunny. (I drove my wife's truck for a while and realized how bad it really...

Folks: I'm having an issue where the rear wheels are locking up. (Common problem supposedly). I replaced the rear wheel mounts and sanded the rust off the axle. Put everything back together, and am still having the same problem. I'm going to take it apart and re-lube everything. Can anyone...

Hey folks: I'm in a situation where I may need to make a last minute trip to Florida. (Sick family member scenario, combined with a spouse that hates to fly). Allegiant is my only choice with direct flights. (Other option is a drive to from home to BWI or PHL). Anyone have any recent...

Hey folks: I'm having an issue where my start button stopped working. I can right click, but a left click does nothing after the system goes to sleep. I have read that uninstalling dropbox can fix it. (I have updated drivers, and tried everything short of reinstalling windows or creating a new...
