I’ve done partial fluid changes in my 10r80 every 30k on my F150 using a battery operated fluid pump to empty the pan. Usually pull out somewhere between 5-6 qts. Total capacity is about 13 qts. At 30k I drained and filled. No additives At 60k I drained and filled and added the whole 10oz...

vehicle in question has a Ford 9.75 rear axle. Replaced pinion seal, and flange due to leakage and a small wear scar on the flange. Marked the nut to pinion with 2 different color markers, but upon tightening of the nut I couldn’t get the nut to line up with the marks. They are about 1/4 inch...

I wanted to check what kind of draw my 04 Marauder has when it’s sitting. I attached some pics of what I’m seeing. Battery is 2.5 years old and always seems like it’s slow to crank if I let it sit for a week or so. I’ve since started keeping it on a Noco 5 amp smart charger. I tested the battery...

random patches of these have popped up in my backyard, seemingly in the last week or 2. I searched on Google but couldn’t find an exact match. What are they and more importantly how do I get rid of them?

A friend bougnt this at walmart. 43 dollars I believe. It’s very well built and much heavier than an OE filter but it doesn’t pass the sunlight test. You can see tiny pinholes just like the oiled filters. I was hoping it would be better cause it’s a nice looking filter otherwise ! In 2 of the...

Are there any differences between these oils besides the part number and shape of bottle?

Numbers look good IMO. This run was done on stock tuning. The other 2 runs were custom tuned. I know some people don’t like the way Blackstone tests for fuel but it’s definitely lower this time. I’m not sure why the “ miles on unit” is missing. This sample was pulled right around 60,500 miles.

I stop at an exxon/ 7-eleven every morning to get coffee before work, about 4:50 am. Occasionally I see the digital pump screens saying “ all pumps have been stopped “ Yesterday I was standing in line to pay for my coffee and a guy comes in asking about the stoppage and the lady behind the...

Well my wife did anyway. She had been on a wait list for about 4 months now. Got the call Saturday morning that it had arrived and they asked if we could be there Sunday at noon to test drive it. It’s white with black leather, top of the line calligraphy model. I’m not an suv kinda guy, but it’s...

Found this wheel sticking up out of the ground while at work. Pulled it out the rest of the way with an excavator. I’m guessing it was a truck maybe from the 70s?

I recently was given a 2012 Troy Bilt 27 ton log splitter that wasn’t running. After fixing a few things it’s now fully operational. I bought new bearing kits for the axles and want to replace the dry rotted tires. It has 4.8x8 tires on 3/4” axles. The tires are marked not for highway use and...

I was helping a friend move and found this in one of the sheds. He lived there for 15 years and said the bottle was there when he moved in. It’s unopened. I think I’ll use it up. It doesn’t feel very thick in the bottle when shaking it. I’m guessing this is from the 80s. Maybe 90s. The shape of...

This fits a caterpillar CS-44 66” smooth drum roller. Never seen one with no holes in the center tube before. Seems very well built, and is very heavy

2014 Chevy Cruze LS. Total base model car, 1.8 non turbo and 54k miles Car has been religiously serviced with synthetic 5w30 it’s whole life at 5k intervals but never had anything else done. I figured it was a good time to to the atf and coolant. I jacked all 4 corners up, level as I could and...

Oil held up well enough I suppose other than the fuel. Truck is tuned on HP tuners on a 93 octane tune. Regularly sees WOT 7100 rpms shifts. I’m wondering if it’s the nature of the engine or the tune that’s adding the fuel to the oil. So as an experiment I flashed back to the stock tune the...

First time sending in a sample on any of my own vehicles. Looks like it held up ok. Oil life monitor said 29% left. It was about 3/4 qt low at the time of draining, but still well above the add mark. Oil filter was a FL-500s I drained and filled it 5w50 Motorcraft that I had laying around. I...

Friend of mine pulled a weak battery out of his car. Sat overnight with no battery. Next morning gets a new battery, installs it. Everything works but when you attempt to start it, it does absolutely nothing. Checked all connections and and battery volts. All are fine. The battery light and...

I wasn’t able to find a VOA of these gear oils. Do they actually contain anti wear additives, or are they just some super thick oil with no additives like the oil stabilizer ?

Hi all, Replacing the rear wheel bearings and backing Plates on my fiancé’s 13 Tundra. Figured it would be a good time to change the diff oil too, it has about 60k on it. When I drained it the first time I used an oil that had additive already in it. The oil I have on hand to use now doesn’t...

I live in Northern Va, and at many of the Sheetz locations they have “ flex fuel” in the yellow pumps. They list it is E-51 to E83. Some locations list it at 94 octane, some simply have a “ flex fuel” sticker on the product button. I know the ethanol content varies with the seasons but what...
