I would drain coolant properly. Catch what ever comes out. Then I would connect water hose and fill it. by now what ever left over in the system will be diluted enough to make it safer. Then start the engine, open radiator on the bottom and let it run/flush for couple of minutes. Then I would...

Just to flush everything out.i will drain it after that and fill with coolant. I was just thinking if it would be okay to put home water pressure through the system. I don't know what is working pressure of 01 Dodge ram 2500.

I'm about to do a coolant flush on my 01 Cummins. Can I stick water hose in the radiator and run my truck while it flushed all of the old coolant out and just leaves water in the system. Would pressure from the hose do anything to the coolant system while it's running?

Thank you guys. I was really trying to avoid buying another grease. But I guess "right tool for the right job".

Picked up AgriFab leaf vacuum trailer today with 9hp Briggs motor for great price and it came with new filters and spark plug. Out: unknown, clean ish oil. In: Kirkland 15w40 diesel oil, air filter, spark plug.

Purchased a used SDS Max rotor hammer drill for couple upcoming house projects. It did not come with a grease. When I used my dad's rotor hammer drill, he had same brand grease that I put on the bits before installing them. I have tube of Super Lube grease, spray on white lithium grease, HD...

I was lucky to find 3 tubes of it at Advanced auto. I never shop at advanced auto but I guess I have to check on all of them if I really need something.

And of course I use the world's rarest grease now, just my luck. Been checking stores around here in SC and this one is nowhere to be found. I really don't want to pay $25 a tube.

Are there any two stroke that doesn't have stabilizer in it. I don't remember seeing one. Even big jugs for outboard motors have stabilizer in them now. I still like to add a little bit of Marine Stability 360

I haven't had any issues with adding MMO to any of my 2 strokes. I guess I do ran my tools a bit lean because I try to do 40:1 mix plus MMO. Las time I took off exhaust or looked down the bore I haven't seen any scaring or wear marks though. I guess good oil helps.

I know for sure I have seen ashless oil. But I don't think I ever paid attention if there is low ash oil. Might have to take a look next time I'm at the store.

You are not completely wrong. Every oil has a different die and maybe a little bit more of one additive than the other.

Nothing special. It has all the ratings, it's priced right, readily available at the store and I like the way it smells. I guess price is being a deciding factor. It being offered in Walmart since I know I'll visit it at least once a week. There are a lot of people here that use it and have...

I was thinking about taking it apart, taking outlets out and possibly applying some de-electric grease and re-tightening them all.

Hello everyone. I have generac xt8000e. It has been sitting in the not heated garage, I start it and run it with load every 6 months. Yesterday it started good and produced power out of 30amp outlet but GFCI outlets will not reset. One was blinking red, another one was okay but before testing...

Lean? Lean would be 1:100. 1:40 is a sweet spot because it's more reach than manufacturers recommend, but not too reach to start spitting oil out of the exhaust.

It smells kind of sweet to me. I run my mix between 1:32 - 1:40. No additional smoke or anything.

I mix my own also, and add some extra stuff in it too. But I use about 6+ gallons of mixed fuel a season. Plus now I started to cut my own firewood. But in OP situation premixed fuel is the way to go.

Don't even bother mixing it yourself. There are options like VP, True Fuel, Super Tech, Stihl, Husqvarna pre mixed fuel and more. All those fuels have all the additives for long storage and mix already done. Less headache for you and more enjoyment using your tools.

I used to use ST TCW3 long time ago and tools ran just fine. But then I start experimenting with different 2stroke oils and liked the smell of VP. But I have been going through a lot of it lately. So I might have to do back to cheaper option.
