    Battery charger recommendations ?

    % charge was tested using a conductance tester. The auto's charging system has tested normal by AAP. I did not test the lawn tractor. However after getting the batteries to what I will term as restored they batteries have been in the vehicles for about 8 months with absolutely no problems so it...

    305 V8 water pump

    I believe the 252-718 is their cheaper aftermarket part. The 251-725 is the GM OEM pump. Althought they fit the same applications they are not the same part. I used the 252-718 once in my 350 and it only lasted about a year. I replaced it with a Gates that has been in 2.5 years now with no...

    I am happy with this speed charger . I do not know about longevity yet as I have had it for just under a year but it seems to work well. It has brought back one auto battery and one lawn tractor battery I thought were done. Use code TRT30 for 30% off.

    Alternator problem?

    The toughone reman 90 amp at AAP is $106 and the $120 amp is $118. Order online with a 40 off 100 code (TRT41) to get for $66 or $78 plus tax. I know a lot of people are really down on auto stores remans. I have had good luck with AAPs lifetime remans. I currently have three alternators in...

    Mower won't start

    Universal anti-freeze as a full fill?

    Exactly what I have done. I think if dexcool is your FF then doing a flush and fill with a dexclone is no issue.

    Question on Brakes

    Another vote for the belt. Unless it is a hard belt to get to I would take it off, start the car, see if noise went away.

    Let's talk accessory drive noise (Tacoma)

    +1 one on preferring the Goodyear Gatorback but I have used Gates and Dayco also based on price and availability and they have all worked well. I believe Napa belts are Gates. I know Goodyear and Dayco both have two lines of belts (Gates may have but not sure) so make sure to get the upper line...

    Replacement starter for GM 4.3

    I have a rebuilt starter from AAP (What they call the toughone with the lifetime warranty not the driveworks one) on my GM 5.7 (1994 C1500) that I installed 11 months ago. No issues so far. I also have three of their lifetime warranty rebuilt alternators ranging from two years to fours years old...

    RIP MSE

    Not really. Multiple free alternatives are available. Avast (my personal choice), Ad-Aware, Avira, AVG, BitDefender, Comodo, and probably more.

    Primewell Valera- Any good?

    I do not know about the Valera but I have a set of PS860s on my 1994 C1500 and they have been a good tire. I have never had the tires rotated or balanced since I purchased them and I already have about 4k more miles on them than the treadwear warranty and there is at least another 5k-6k worth of...

    2000 Dodge Durango w/245K miles. Got the old out via the return line and replaced the power steering pump and resevoir. New fluid was Valvoline Power Steering Fluid.
