Those "paint over rust" paints of course will tell you they work fine when painted over rust (but not rusty chunks that you can chip off). They will have problems sticking to completely fresh, smooth metal, but sand blasted or sanded metal is great. The truth is, the paint doesn't know the...

Are you thinking of rotors?

I had a pair of very old rear drums on my '67 Dodge shot-peened and turned earlier this year. Since they were now very clean, I painted the outside surface with DOM-16 (the Canadian version of POR-15). As far as I'm concerned, these moisture-activated urethanes are second only to powdercoating...

Yea that's a good price. With tax that's $49. A month ago a buddy brought back 2 for me from Michigan, $31 US + mich tax + conversion was $46 (no duty or gst b/c he was there for 2 days). Is it always $50 at WM?

Brake fluid doesn't circulate. The fluid in the master cylinder will stay there forever. The fluid that's doing all the work is way down at the other end in the wheel cylinders or calipers, and a thimble's worth of fluid that moves in and out of them. And it's that fluid at the very end of...

I bought (new) a 2001 Dodge Ram (2WD , auto, 5.2L) that I don't and never have driven very much, it has 74k KM (46k miles) and is garaged when not driven. I do all work on my vehicles. It has had 1 change of coolant (because of new water pump) and 1 change of rear diff oil. I change engine...

Probably doesn't meet ATF+4 specs?

How is the property serviced? Water / sanitary / gas / electricity ? Do they not print that, or am I just not seeing it?

My thoughts exactly, but nobody else here want's to argue against "accepted dogma". There's going to be a finite amount of water vapor in a closed, sealed, empty gas tank, and a tank made out of plastic is of no consequence to said water vapor or water condensate. And the fact that the gas...

I thought one failure mode was the formation of crystal spikes or fingers that cause internal short circuit leading to thermal run-away. I haven't read this yet, seems to be authoritative in this regard: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8510069/

This is what I pay in London Ontario Canada (population about 500k) Short answer: monthly costs: $115 (water) $80 (gas) $100 (electricity) $460 (prop tax) - garbage / recycling / yard waste pickup is free (ie included with prop tax) - 2 story home on .3 acre lot "in the city". - Those are Can...

"I will be storing a car for the appz 16 month next year " I decode the above to mean that you will be storing a car, next year, for a duration of 16 months. If that is not your intention then please re-word it. Drain the tank if you can. I see no upside and a lot of downside in keeping gas...

Zerohedge ran a story about this this afternoon. Only 1500 sold in October. End of EV credits, and some mysterious aluminum plant fires are part of this story. Being a ZH story, lots of spicy comments. 13 billion in value destruction being one of the more tamer comments.

Curious about the logic. Seems the owners are operating under false assumptions about the pro's and con's of intermittent vs continuous engine operation for this modern diesel. If I happened to find myself, for what-ever reason, in frequent close proximity to a diesel-powered vehicle that is...

It's a work in progress. Since I bought my gear (new) 25 years ago, I've been wanting to put it to serious use, but life and stuff got in the way. - Denon AVR3300 receiver (bought a used AVR4800 a few years ago for cheap cheap) - Denon DCM 5000 (100 disk dual player CD player, I understand...

I was unloading some leaves at my local municipal yard waste depot, and I parked beside a commercial landscaping truck with a heavy-duty cargo bed / box (not sure what they're called). A guy was shovelling / raking yard waste out the side (the side gate was down). The engine was idling. It...

If I were paying for some sort of AI bot service, these are the use-cases that I would expect it to do for me. Maybe they can do this sort of thing today, maybe not: a) I would direct it to an on-line forum that I currently subscribe to, but can't keep track of who the people are, what their...
