I had a previous thread on this stuff, I cannot find it so heres a brief synopsis: A friend bought an 08 Tacoma with a 1GR engine from a private party. It had 300k miles on it and a nasty ticking on the right cylinder head. Looking through the prior owners maintenance records it had been going...

I recently had a Tesla P85 in my shop. The battery range was very low so in anticipation of my customer picking up the car, I used the 120V charge cable and charged it up to 200 miles. I estimate it took about 24 hours to do so. Unfortunately my customer got sick and was not able to pick up the...

My kitchen faucet is the furthest possible distance from my propane fired hot water heater tank. I usually run almost a gallon of water to get warm water and probably another half gallon for it to be hot. My water bill has recently doubled. A new company was allowed to take over and within a...

I have been looking for a new emergency back up power source for my home. I’m very interested in the EcoFlow delta 2 power station. With the add on battery it’s rated for 2200 watt surge and 1800 watt continuous and 2048kw-hr. It’s about 1400 dollars, or about the same or less than a gas 2-3000...

2017 Colorado 3.6L 7500 mi oci 5w-30. Filter did not tear but collapsing and end cap separated at spot indicated.

Every oil change I’m undecided on what filter to use. Partly because there is almost too much information on filters in here, but also because we seem to focus on media efficiency more than flow. With modern VVT engines, most have 2 stage oil pumps to reduce parasitic loss at lower rpm and...

Hey I’ve known this for a while but I just had a nice clean C class roll in the shop with this air freshener laying on the console. Look at what it did to the gloss black plastic in that console. Permanently damaged. Keep in mind it’s not just the brand pictured, most will do this. Just wanted...

I have a 300C with a 5.7. Surprisingly it’s one of the most reliable vehicles I’ve ever owned….besides my Tacoma (if it wasn’t for rust it WOULD last forever). I recently turned 145,000 miles and looking at new cars (and used) I decided to keep the 300 and “freshen” it up because I love it so...
