    What oil in the new 7.3 Ford gas engine?

    I have looked and looked online but cannot seem to find what viscosity motor oil for once used in this engine… Anyone have a clue or a link? I would guess that it's 5W-30 but…

    Boo. Advertising.

    I know that the season's mostly over, but it really gets my goat that advertising is running football, even at the college level. Used to be that at the end of the quarter, or during a time out or injury, the network would cut to a commercial. Now, it's backwards - the network schedules the...

    Heard this today 🤣

    Iowa: Idiots Out Walking Around Made me laugh, especially since I was told by someone from Iowa... Figure there are a lot of those out there, like First On Race Day for Fords or Just Empty Every Pocket (IMO due to the cost of constant modifications) for Jeep. What other good ones do you...

    Toyota 4 speed auto trans

    Hey folks - We are looking at possibly getting an older Toyota for a local runaround. Corolla or Rav4 with the 4 speed automatic. From what I know (despite being very dated) it is a reliable unit. Would appreciate experience and commentary.

    Did some research into when the decade started

    And Billboard's "Best of the 80s" chart includes Blondie's 1980 hit "Call Me." QED. (Thanks as always to xkcd!)

    What battery is OEM in Toyotas?

    Been noticing a little bit of slow cranking in the 4Runner when it's really cold out; thinking if it's the original battery that it may be going after five years. Currently there is a Panasonic unit in there, distributed by Toyota motor (with several distribution centers listed worldwide) so I...

    3.5 Ecoboost issues solved for 2018?

    Hey folks - looking for some thoughts on a 2018 Ford 3.5 EB, considering one as a replacement for Ms JLTD's 2008 Jeep. From my reading online, I believe that they've ironed out all the issues and the engine is good to go. (except perhaps for the water pump inside the block?) Would appreciate...

    I am laughing so hard....not really

    '08 Liberty in signature. ~154,000 miles. Been solid except for a few niggling Jeep issues, mainly HVAC, which we've had it in for - and warranty work for the same thing- thrice now. Two weeks ago it threw a code for high coolant pressure and we had a new thermostat installed; all was fine...

    Two Fram Ultras for our application? Machinists help....

    A bit of a dilemma -- planning to go with the Ultra as it is an absolute BEAR to reach the oil filter on our 2008 Jeep Liberty and changing less frequently will be a happy situation. Note on the page linked below that there's two different Ultra filters.... A metric 22mm thread and an English...

    So bad the CDC is involved --

    If you vape, you should stop yesterday: https://mynbc15.com/news/local/455-...Ny6c7yzlKyQC0Co5DXOA9DjNum6qzTFafLyq7-00 May be bordering on epidemic status soon I think.

    Rental Home Insurance....

    Looking for some recommendations as noted in the thread title. Figured there would be some collective knowledge among members. Backstory: Been with State Farm since the early 90s for everything. I own a house in Virginia, which has been a rental property since 2012. Due to tenants' neglect...

    Havoline Box

    After all the initial excitement and posting about the Havoline-in-a-box and despite the good reputation of both the dino and syn versions, I have yet to see a VOA or UOA of this oil. Do you think that is because there hasn't been enough time since it came out for a normal interval to have...

    Laptop recommendation

    Thought picking the collective intelligence might help guide the wife and me in getting a school computer for a couple of high schoolers. They'll be sharing it for homework, Google Docs (most of their homework is submitted this way), and some research browsing. Nothing heavy duty required, and...

    F35....just abandon the program already

    Came across this article on the F35 program. Some of the information (just revealed, apparently) is from 2011. This seems to have become the most expensive mistake ever made in aviation. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ameri...PZt4-8aYLQg3VQ-nH91MP5rPQ6DTRyJD2jwjIX_8

    PTSD - a new vector

    Came across this article, thought it had the potential to be helpful for many. Cliff Notes version: PTSD symptoms can be caused by malaria drug. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/...vFsWIn7ioWyS1WK9u7NzE42ijnBg-9aSBknp873A

    Anyone? Anyone?

    After finishing his weekly sermon, the Pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for an answered prayer. Suzie stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have some praise to give. Two months ago my husband Frank had a terrible bicycle accident and his scrotum was...
