    Weird tire wear

    Did the wheel bearings a few years ago on my Ranger boat trailer and got new tires. It has bearing buddies and I thought I did everything correctly. Fast forward 4 years or so without too many miles (prob less than 1000) I noticed some weird tire wear. The outside is down to barely any tread and...

    Oil air filter with wire backing?

    Ordered a new air filter for the 99 arctic cat 300 I picked up. To my surprise it has a metal backing with foam insert inside and out. I am used to oiling plain old foam filters with a removable housing. Do I oil this filter? The thing is like rock solid. I thought foam always gets oiled. Makes...

    ‘99 Arctic Cat 300 4x4

    I talked the guy down to $800 for this machine. I feel like that's a solid deal for something that runs, has new tires, not much rust, no issues. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with Arctic Cats from this era and what to look for. When was the first Arctic Cat atv? I believe the...

    Bass fishing (Ned rig)

    Not sure how many of you bass fish, but there is a newer technique that made a believer out of me today. Zman, a company, has capitalized on marketing the Ned Rig. All it is, is a light 1/16-1/8oz ball head jig with half a senko type bait threaded on. For the last couple years I've been hearing...

    Broke axle pinch stud

    Broke two of these studs by torquing them twice as much. I replaced them and got regular nuts to use. The oem nuts are flanged I believe is the term? Rode a distance with them over the weekend. The bottom left one was loose. I was at a hardware store yesterday and decided to get the nuts that...

    Lost all coolant

    Dads 09 gmc 2500 6.0L with only 40,000 miles seems to have lost all its coolant instantly, not a slow leak. It over heated and he drove it a few miles. I told him he's nuts but says there are precautions that the engine will shut off if it gets too hot. I say he's crazy for trusting such a...

    Ecogard trans filter

    People seem impressed by the oil filter...any reason why the transmission filter wouldn't be any good? I ordered one but now the oem is $13. This is for the 62TE in the Grand Caravan.

    Grand Caravan break in

    Wife wanted a minivan. Having another kid in July and have a 2 year old daughter now. After searching used vans, I thought the best deal would be go new and cheapest. Used odyssey's with 150,000 miles and caravans with 100,000 were $7k. Didn't want to take the gamble of getting a good vehicle...

    Sodium in gdi engines

    I put Napa synthetic 0w-20 (the old version with sodium) in my stepmoms Mazda CX-5. Should I fret or just try to not keep it on a constant diet of it? Most of my oils are pre dexos gen 2. In my stash is Quaker state, magnatec, milesyn, idemitsu are these okay?

    Milwaukee m12 in vanhaus ratchet

    This looks like a Milwaukee clone. Will a m12 battery fit? I have a couple laying around. Not a total deal breaker for me seeing this ratchet is at a good price. Thanks

    09 gmc 2500 6.0 Connecting amp meter between neg battery connections I first get a .32 amp draw that goes away after 10 seconds. Drops down to .18. Is this normal? Is it the interior light/radio turning off? I also hear a noise coming from the passenger side door when first connecting. Kinda...

    Gmc dealer needs vin for parts?

    Went into the local dealer looking to get Dexron VI and crush washers/gaskets for trans, differentials, transfer case, and oil drain bolt. Pretty simple stuff, right? Well, the parts guy would only sell me the ATF, saying he needed a vin because there are too many different sizes of plugs for...

    Owners manual says to use Dexron atf. I've only ever heard of 75w-90 gear oil being used in transfer cases. Is the atf correct in this application? 09 gmc 2500 6.0 gas

    Shift lever adjustment

    I’m trying to reposition the shift lever on my kdx. I’ve unscrewed the bottom bolt, pryed the coupler, and lightly hammered to no avail. Is it a bad idea to use wd40? Don’t want it to slip on the splines after reinstall.

    Brake light repair?

    Bike fell off ramps (didn’t get enough speed, going up hill) when loading the bike after a days riding and chipped my driver side brake light. Can I just use some rtv sealant to fill in the hole? They even make it in red! Just trying to be a cheapskate when a new lense costs $60. Any other...

    Kdx220r air filter assembly

    Hard to tell from the pic but where the green stuff is there’s a lip that’s part of the cage. Do I pop the cage through the foam filter or do I let the foam rest in the outside? The wing is a bolt, not a nut. Is there supposed to be a washer? It looks like the previous owner popped the nipple...

    How to oil 2 piece foam filter

    The red part is more coarse and know that goes on the outside. But do I put the pieces together before oiling? Or do I oil the yellow inside and out, put the red on and just oil outside of that? Or does the red need to be oiled inside too?
