    I hate RockAuto right now

    I like RA and appreciate their catalog for cross reference. I use them if they are the best price after shipping. I did order two closeout oil filters that were wrong. It was my fault. The pictures imitated what I needed but the part number was slightly different. They were 99 cents each. They...

    Type of Atkins cycle for helping GDI carbon on intake valves?

    Better designs incorporate direct injection as well as port injection. You are seeing this more and more as manufacturers learn from their mistakes and adopt it for their new models. Methanol injection sounds like a good idea if the air/fuel management systems will tolerate it without causing...

    Rumors about NAR settlement

    I think it is a perfect time for real estate attorneys to cash in at the sake of realtors. Have a website with a template for the homeowner. A checklist to perform and the tools to employ the inspector, title company etc. The attorney cost structure in black and white. Seller deals with buyer...

    I hate RockAuto right now

    Those don'tl ook mass produced with the machinist's notations. Strange part coming from RA. They kind of look like the captured spacers found on AC compressors and alternators but too large.

    Canadian Trucking Company filing for bankruptcy protection

    I think this time may be different and we may avoid a recession and just glide along. Interest rates may go down 1.000 basis points but no further imo, over the next 8 months. The real problem is not enough skilled workers available, not enough non-skilled workers even. Besides the baby boomers...

    will one bad glow plug inactivate the glow plug timer corolla diesel

    It would shorten the time with every bad glow plug back in the day of my IDI 7.3 Navistar V8 diesel. If 3 or more were bad it would come on for about .5 of a second. With all 8 functioning sometimes it would stay on for 20-30 seconds depending on temp. For your vehicle? Don't know. Change that...

    Found this rolling around my tool bag.

    Don't know what it is or does, not a pen. Unscrew cover and push button on top and thin brass rod emerges maybe a 1/8" or so. Any ideas?

    Bait and switch or not?

    Electric motor bushing bridge

    Put that thing out of its misery, celebrate its long and useful life and reward yourself with brand new replacement. I imagine there are other portions of the vacuum that have aged/worn and the apex performance of yesteryear will never come back, even when repaired. You deserve a new one!

    Pablo, my idiocy makes me laugh and the people around me stare nervously as I talk to myself and type furiously.👔

    Aramco gas stations?

    Doesn't ARAMCO now own Valvoline? One stop shopping, a tank of high test and 5 QT Jug of Restore and Protect. Possibly a delicious kebab from the deli section?

    Cat Is urinating outside of catbox.

    Yeah we have one of those too. Princess. 18+ years old, had a stroke 6 months ago. Lost use of her hind legs. Wife hand fed her and hauled her to the litter box for a week. I told her to go to the vet and put her down. She goes to the vet and vet says the cat is actually really healthy for her...

    Cat Is urinating outside of catbox.

    Wife, the cat person of the house agrees about the UTI but also suggested an intrusion into the cats area by another animal nearby. Most likely another TomCat outside or something akin to that. Good Luck!
