A family member is selling their 2012 pilot with 120k miles that looks like it just rolled off the showroom and im considering buying it. From what I've read around vcm can be a bit concerning honda v6s and the transmissions can be a bit weak. Other than that it has all the oil change records...

I recently made a forum post about the 6th gen accord I was getting the chance to buy and finally got to bring it home today. I learned a little more about it as it’s at 143k miles, single owner with the original title from may of 2000 and an interior in immaculate shape. Timing belt has been...

Ok fellow bitogers I'm potentially about to stumble as* backwards into a 2000 accord 2.3 with the manual transmission and 140k miles for get this, 1000 smackers. It was purchased new by my friends family and passed throughout their children and while not perfectly babied it was never abused and...

Hello fellow bitogers, i have a 2007 corolla with 145k miles that is throwing the P0171 bank 1 running lean code. The car runs just fine and has no issues with acceleration or drivability but the trim numbers bug me. Checking the fuel trims they are +32% at idle and go up to +44% when at 1800...

My father has bestowed to me the right of first refusal on his 2006 town car with 150k miles on it. Overall it seems in really good condition, he does yearly oil changed with mobil 1 EP which usually equates about 6-7k of all highway miles. Transmission fluid still has a solid amount of red in...

Today I helped a friend of mine to do the initial fluid changes on the aforementioned parts of his 2019 ram classic with 26k miles on the clock and I'm laying out the process used and some observations. We started with the diff that had a 14mm allen style drain plug and a rubber/plastic fill...

Ok experts here is the issue. There is a creak when taking off and coming to a stop along with when I turn the wheel while stopped. The turning wheel is not replicated when the vehicle is jacked off the ground/ no tension on the suspension. To note every part of this suspension was replaced...

For those of you who own this generation Camry, what mileage are you at and what work have you had done. Allegedly these are some of the worst years due to oil consumption and other things but I know 5 people with these vehicles all long term owners, all beat the crap out of it and under...

2011 Silverado had a power steering pump start whining so I decided to flush the fluid with the plain prestone psf. After which it began whining substantially louder which lead to the decision to replace it. After replacing the pump, it was flushed with acdelco 105074 and re-bled to which the...

After this winter im looking at purchasing my friends 2016 corolla s plus. It is in great condition and has 57xxx miles but will go up over the next couple months. What can you guys tell me about it other than the base stats. Im already partial to toyota so it wont take much selling but how is...

In modern vehicles it is safe to assume that the computers adapt shifting based on what it can detect. My question is how does this play into using the wrong spec fluid or multi vehicle formulas? How could a transmission adapt to a 200k mile burnt fluid but not be seen as capable of adapting to...

Curiosity has gotten the best of me and after seeing this discussed in various threads and on the Walmart shelf I have decided it needed to be done. Within the next two days I will be performing a fluid exchange with pictures on an impala with a 4t65 and reporting back the results. The...

For me it was the mtf on a friends 2001 civic. This was a pet project of a shop that built race civics and came off of one with a turbo and I can only imagine it was the original fluid still. When my friend got it i convinced him to change the fluid out and what we drained was absolutely...

Preface this with stating I do not know a whole lot about the air conditioning systems in vehicles, but when a buddy of mine asked if I wanted to armchair quarterback his ac work i felt like it'd be a good show. He has a 2009 impala and his compressor was not kicking/staying on with, "the ac...

My hyundai has started pulling vacuum through the crankcase. There is no noticeable air being sucked through the intake yet when in try to pull the dipstick or oil cap it sucks down back to the crankcase with considerable force. What on earth could be the cause of this?

I was recently looking for specs on various XXw50 oils and noticed how Mobil 1 did not have noack on their 15w50 pi sheet. Then after that I looked at valvoline and noticed theirs was listed as a After a bit more digging i stumbled across the Mag 1 pi sheet and I have to say I am impressed at...

i replaced the rear calipers on my 2003 tiburon and cannot for the life of me get the break feel to what it was. I have tried the old fashioned way and a vacuum bleeder on all calipers. What am I missing here? When using the vacuum bleeder it pulls air bubbles constantly without much fluid...

A friend of mine just purchased a 2019 ram 1500 with 5100 miles on it. While we were installing a toolbox in the bed i crawled under it and noticed the driveshaft is starting to rust already along with some brackets underneath where the paint is being replaced with rust. If i can manage to get...

I've heard of the Mobil 1 rebate the most consistently here but what are some other reliable rebates that come out or when should I be looking for them?

My parents just purchased a 2011 silverado 4.8 to pull their 2 horse trailer. As stated it has the 4.8 engine (no active fuel management bs to the extent of my knowledge) and what was an unlabled 4 speed (on the listing at least). My questions are is this 4 speed a variant of the 4l60e, if not...
