    My Idea to Buy a 2023 Highlander Hybrid Just Met Market Reality

    Shopping ‘23 Venza LE Hybrid today and could only find one in the state that was incoming and not spoken for. Dealer wanted non-refundable $500 deposit, said $299 Pulse brake light add-on was mandatory and dealer would not sell to me unless I had a trade. Found no-nonsense dealer one state over...

    Guzzling the E85

    1-ton GM van with 6.0 and 6L90 went from 16 mpg on E10 regular ($3.99) to 13 mpg on E85 ($2.69). Had better response and did not downshift as much on hills. The stations near me don’t have price spread wide enough to justify E85 most of the time.

    How long do you wait to get gas?

    ATF for Compact Track Loader Hydraulics?

    They were not really early, but more in the 1000 to 1500 hour range. Signs were metal in filters and loss of performance/pressure. You don’t really want to cheap out on hydraulic oil, since a single component failure can send metal through entire system and 30-50 hours of system cleaning and...

    ATF for Compact Track Loader Hydraulics?

    ATF works great with cold temps, but I have heard of premature pump and motor failure on when used on some equipment. For your temps I would look at Mobil DTE 10 Excel Series 46 which is a multi-viscosity oil. Another option is Shell Tellus S3 V46.

    Vortec 5.3L V8 SFI in a 2007 Chevrolet pickup? Is the engine reliable?

    The pictured truck is new style. The engine difference is the addition of cylinder shutdown feature that does not help reliability.

    Vortec 5.3L V8 SFI in a 2007 Chevrolet pickup? Is the engine reliable?

    Depends if it is early 07 or late 07 old bodystyle reliable. New bodystyle not so much.

    Small pebbles in small engine from factory?

    The generator came with a bottle of 10W-30 oil that I used for initial fill, and I would have seen them go in during the pour, so the objects must have been in engine itself. I have 2nd identical generator I got at the same time. Just drained that one with no signs of pebbles.
