Was given this tank and stand, Ill have a friend weld it to the stand and then prime and paint it. What would be a good primer and paint to go with? Itll be outside exposed to the elements and used for diesel.

Can someone please lead me to the proper torque specs for the intake and valve covers for my 3.7 F150? Google and a recently purchased subscription from alldata is of no help. I plan on doing plugs and valve cover gaskets as soon as I can find the proper specs.

I was raised with morals, treat people right, dont screw people over, etc and lately working at Napa has tested this. I work at a Napa that is owned by a local family, they have 5 stores. We have more than just auto parts and the local people go into an uproar if we dont carry what they need. A...

Someone gave me a 550 gallon fuel tank on a stand, I need to move it about 80 yards from the field its in to my trailer to bring it to my friends farm. Ill be using a tractor with a bucket, what grade chain should I use for lifting? I was going to get some grade 70 transport chain at tractor...

Finally got around to installing a Napa 4801 filter minder on my 2012 3.7 F150 with 245,569 miles. Yes I know my engine is filthy. Now that the air filter side of things are taken care of, I’m going to start doing extended drains with HPL oil. From what Ive been reading on here, Im thinking of...

Here are two Napa filters, one a GM specd filter the other a Ford specd filter, same bypass psi and interchangeable. 2100255 Proformer is Vietnam made and has a silicon ADBV, 7502 Gold is China made and has a silicon ADBV. The proformer is the commercial line, is it safe to say the Proformer is...

Saturday Ill be picking up a lawn mower Ive been wanting for a long time, a Snapper self propelled with the Robin Wisconsin 2 stroke engine. Ive heard these are just as bulletproof as the Toros with the 2 stroke Suzuki engine. Its a 1986 year model, runs great, and the guy said parts are still...

My 2012 F150 3.7, right at 242k miles. A month ago I went to start it, once started, made a loud grinding noise like the starter was staying engaged. Shut it off, started it again and it has never happened again until last night. Leaving the store, I started it, starter stayed engaged and I...

Im looking for some good all terrain tires that arent noisy, for my F150. Ive been running some Yokohamas and while not that noisy, I cant get more than 35-40k miles out of them even with rotating every 5k. Front end is good, they wear evenly just dont get good mileage out of them. Im looking...

My parents had a Briggs PPDX20, 20kw generator installed at their house last year, V-twin 993cc Briggs Vanguard engine. According to the manual it has SJ rated synthetic 5W30 from the factory. My mom wants me to do the maintenance on it, Briggs recommends 15W50 in this engine for continous use...

Posting in the tool section as I consider a ratchet strap a tool and a pretty useful one at that. I keep multiple ratchet/cam buckle straps in my truck of various lengths and work load limit ratings(Im a stickler for using the strap with the proper WLL for the task at hand). Most if not all...

While I am a fan of fluid film and have used it for years, it doesnt seem to have held up in my last application. I pulled the spare tire on my F150 two months ago, sprayed the rim, where the tire mounts, cable and a few spots under the bed where theres light rust. I checked yesterday and theres...

Do they make a tool that can fit on a drill to install these particular ground anchors? Bought them at Tractor Supply. My grandmaw just got a new central AC and Im trying to set it up so I can strap it down for a hurricane.

Ive finally decided to try HPL oil in my truck and extend my oil changes a bit. 3.7 Cyclone currently sitting at 233k miles, super small leak from the valve covers at the VVT solenoid grommets, no level drop on dipstick. Id like to stick with 10W30, been using it awhile, not sure if I should go...

I was given this dinged up Honda generator and 1998 year model 25 Tohatsu, I definitely plan on getting both running and having some fun. For the Honda, I plan on going through the carb, new air filter, spark plug and probably some 15W40. Those of you with these generators, how do you like...

Was actually pretty fun pushing this good sized jackup barge over the past 2 days, from Golden Meadow, LA to Lafitte, LA. 4.5 knots the whole way…talk about fast 🤣🤣 those 8V71 Detroits were screaming. Bayou Lafourche to the Intracoastal and on to Lafitte.

QS Euro 5W40, is this a low tbn oil like PP 5W30 Euro L or can it safely be run longer intervals?

Whats the general consensus regarding Chinese made oil filters these days? Ones made by Premium Guard/Prime Guard can they be trusted as far as build quality and do they meet OEM specs? Changing the oil in my 3.7 F150 with some ST 15W40 tomorrow (will do a UOA) and I want to run it longer than...

Does anyone collect old signs, particularly the old Cattlemens Association signs from different states and know where I can find more? And yes these signs were obtained legally. Im not sure if I should leave the rust spots on the cattlemens sign as is or dab them with Fluid Film. If anyone has...

Installed this Baxter Performance spin on adapter on a 2019 3.5 Tacoma today for an 82 year old family friend. No more cartridge filter and less mess. Works great. Takes a Napa 1085 or equivalent for the Tacoma application.
