I was at an estate auction sale a week ago and the auctioneer couldn't get any bids. I thought they'd look good in my man cave. Both need to be cleaned up, but that might be a project when the weather gets colder. The Quaker State can doesn't have much paint on the front, probably the reason...

A little over a year ago, I was at my brother’s house and his wife was showing off their new refrigerator. It was purchased from a box store, cost $3K, French door model (side-by-side doors with freezer on the bottom) and had all the bells and whistles. Fast-forward to last week and my wife was...

While I live on a farm, my community is small-town and it's an "everybody knows everybody" type of living. I know my regular UPS driver well and we both have each other's numbers in our phone contact list. Since I live about 15 minutes from town, I'll gladly save him 30 minutes of delivery time...

Okay, vehicle is a 1990 Chevrolet K1500 (4WD) with a 350 and an NV3500 5-speed transmission. What is the latest and greatest syncromesh fluid that is appropriate for this vehicle? This transmission has had a complete rebuild and is currently dry. A few postings on other sites seem to think the...

Subject: 1959 Chevy van. Okay, I will put the info forward that I've been a Ford tech and guy my entire wrench-turning life. If this was a Ford vehicle, I wouldn't be posting and all the info would probably be in my head. However, this red-haired stepchild project (my apologies if any readers...

Been a Milwaukee Fuel user ever since the "Fuel" line became available, 10+ years ago? Anyway, for the last few months I've been in the market for 1/2" battery impact. Ryobi had a special a 3-4 months ago that I was really interested in, but Home Depot kept screwing me around on the price, so my...

Okay, I'm going to describe the situation and I'd like some opinions on this. First, we (wife and I) have a land line telephone number, but no answering machine or answering service on the land line phone. We only answer numbers that we know. However, both the wife and I each have a cell phone...

A slow day today and I'm just waiting out the snow that's going to hit us, so..... I have several applications that take the Motorcraft FL820 variants. In the past, I've used some closeout Casite (Hastings) filters that RockAuto sold really cheap, but that supply has now dried up. I picked up a...

In the latest American Rifleman magazine (December 2021), there is an article on the Poly Technologies M-14/S. According to the article, this gun was imported from China from 1988-1994. This gun was a knock-off or a reverse-engineered gun copied from the American version. Here is the question...

Okay, I know there will be literally dozens of posters wanting to be the first (or second, or third, etc...) to say: "FIX YOUR ENGINE!", but read my entire post before you fire back, okay? I'm wanting an engine oil that reduces smoke when the engine is running. So does anyone here HAVE...

For years, I've been using some Castrol oil filters on my '98 Ranger 3.0 engine. These filters have the 3600 number on them that so many different companies use. I got them cheap w/free shipping from a website that is now defunct about 5 years ago. I never cut one open, but the web seller said...

Long story, short: My son owns a Lincoln Navigator that has these aftermarket wheels on them. I personally wish it had the stock wheels on it, but it came with the vehicle when it was purchased, so now we have to live with it. Perhaps stock wheels will get put on when the tires are worn. Anyway...

I'm looking for a source for the cheap power washer pumps. The kind I'm looking for bolts to the back of a B&S/Honda/Chonda type of pump and hooks up to a garden hose. The specs say these pumps typically put out about 2,400-3,100 PSI, but that's probably exaggerated. Anybody got a source with a...

For decades I've listened to a classic rock station via broadcast. They have now cut their play list, increased their advertising and have now push politics pretty hard. So I'm looking recommendations for an adapter that I can play Pandora over my home stereo. I'd also like to take it with me...

https://www.jorgenauto.com/index.html Info posted here before? If it has, I haven't seen it. Web site says they are permanently closed. Previously a company of good quality, decently prices, but I guess it no longer matters.

Okay, I'm converting an LP to CD for a couple of friends. Way back in the '70s they were in a local band and recorded a single album. Of course, this was way before CDs were available and they would like to have their album put on a CD. I have a Lightscribe system (allows burning a picture on...

Thought about putting this in the car section, but I think it would get more memories here. https://ksu.craigslist.org/cto/d/manhattan-rare-1980-bradley-gt2/6985707047.html Not mine and I don't know the owner. Hitting my local Craigslist tonight and I saw this. I remember when the magazines...

Any HVAC techs, especially Lennox techs with access to part numbers, willing to help a single mom fix her furnace fairly cheap? A lady acquaintance has an older Aire-flo (this is a Lennox brand, right?) that has a dry, noisy inducer fan. Briefly tried to find a part number online to replace it...

So we all know that it takes advertising to keep a site like this open, right? You know that this site doesn't operate for free and companies that have an oil-related product come here to pay and put up some advertising. It's how BITOG stays up and running. (Okay, a little money by some members...

RockAuto's latest email says they now sells batteries. The selling price of a few of them listed was not a bargain by any means. I put two in my shopping cart just to see what shipping would cost. One was $17 and the other was $22. No clue how they would handle a battery on warranty. One item...
