They're supposed to tighten everytime you hit the brakes in reverse when you have drum brakes, but neither my old dodge or my landscape trailer with dexter electric brakes does it. Even holding the lever on the brake controller and backing up in reverse real fast does nothing.

I have to give a shout out to our truck drivers and the great jobs they do everyday. I mean the pucker factor must come into play atleast 10 times a day i'd imagine, considering I can't hardly get my 7000 pound boat 20 miles from the ramp to the house without some idiot pulling out in front of...

A while back I had a leaky tire that I usually added air via my 60 gallon quincy at home. Anyways, I forgot one day and I was like oh well I'll just stop at the gas station and use one of those pumps. I went to four different gas stations, didn't matter what station it was, everyone had a bag...

It's always some house brand knock off that's always a bit different than the original part. Like I bought a blower motor for my dodge because it was august and the oem motor at the dealer was backordered until October for whatever reason. So while the auto parts store blower motor was probably...

Do you lose hvac everytime you stop?

I got tired of arguing with them. I told them their is no way all four tires don't need any weight on the outside. I guess they were using a mixture of what they called hammer weights on the inside and tape on weights inside the rim. Makes me wonder why they didn't do this from day one instead...

My truck chews through tires every 30k or so. The few times I haven't gotten a credit because they say we'll you didn't get them rotated here every 5k so the warranty is void. This time the kid gave me back like $340 on a new set no questions asked. Wonder if people started throwing a fit...

My mower has external fluid expansion reservoirs. Well once it warms up it raises twice as much as the other one for some reason. Opinions?

Maybe it's my older vehicles, but when I was young I used to be able to let my hand of the wheel and she would stay going straight for a while. Now even with a whole new front end I still have trouble. Most times I have a trailer back there though, so I guess that pulls the truck around. Update...

It's like it loses compression and the recoil becomes easy to pull, so it won't restart unless you pull it really fast vs on a cold start you can pull it fairly gently and it pops right off. Pulls my stomach muscle when when I pull that cord too hard. End up being sore the rest of the day. it's...

One is the blade hub, the other flat round piece is the crankshaft protector. The hub has already been torn up from a puller

I have an old 2005 exmark 21" model: m216kasp with the fj180v kawasaki. This is like a $1500 mower nowadays. I retired it back in 2016 after about 1600hrs of use. Was trying to change out all the self propel pulleys because imo they were worn and made the mower go slower. Anyways, never did...

The exhaust risers on my boat call for 17 ft lbs and every torque spec chart I look at calls for 13 ft lbs of torque. These are grade 5 bolts Why would the manufacturer call for a tighter spec than what the bolt is designed for?

They always say to diversify for safety of your portfolio and to also expose it to more possible gains, but imo looking at the history of stocks and etfs etc. Most all of them have quadrupled at one point or another. You could turn 250k into 1 million or more pretty quickly imo. Opinions?

So I placed an order over the phone and for whatever reason I didn't get any kind of confirmation. No email, receipt or anything. Whenever I picked my part up I bought something else and only got the receipt for that item since my item I called in was already paid for. So this guy after a bit of...

I have two dodge cummins trucks. One will pretty much stay up to temp most of the day when making frequent drives around town, my other truck, you can stop at dairy queen for lunch and it will be back all the way down at the minimum 140 mark. Of course it goes back up to temp once faster once...

I once recall driving through a huge downpour on my way home from work. The rain stopped once I got home, so I decided to pop the hood and see how much stuff got wet and was surprised it was dry as a bone. Now I did drive through the entire neighborhood once it stopped raining, so I'm not sure...

My scissor lift has 4 6v batteries that I have disconnected at the moment. I bought a new charger for it that I haven't installed yet, so I unhooked them to still keep them charged. They're all sitting right at 6.25v give or take. Anyways, why do they occassionally make a gurgle type noise? I...

The other poster Jaker inspired my question here. I've always owned diesels, so an emissions test is a non issue.o remember my parents had an old Mercedes 300e and that thing always had issues. Didn't have many miles either, but it was like 15 years old. I think it had 115,000 miles. Anyways...

I thought only k&n did oiled air filters, so I didn't give it much thought when I bought this cummins with a cold air intake because it looked clean. Anyways, I Decided to change out the rubber couplings on it and that's when I realized how much dust this thing let's by. I checked once on my...
