    Anyone Install ReactOS?

    I used to think ReactOS was slow with their releases but now it looks dead... no new release in 2 years?

    Get 245 ancient quarts of 20w-50 for only $3.26 a quart!

    Probably best to find someone with a diesel to just slowly mix it into the fuel or someone who burns a quart a week.

    Changing oil with engine running...

    Cessna prices have outpaced inflation even more so than something like a Beechcraft Bonanza.

    Keys To Adding Refrigerant ?

    When I had my 2010 Honda Civic that had a slight refrigerant leak I used a manifold set while referencing the service manual. The service manual had a pressure check procedure (open glovebox, max AC, RPMs at 2000, all doors open, etc.). I referenced the output temperature & low/high side...

    1999 GMC Sierra 1500 pitman arm bj torque spec

    46 ft-lbs is probably for the pitman arm nut that connects it to the relay rod. The nut that connects the arm to the steering gear should be 184 ft-lbs. Sounds correct for a 1500.

    AC DYE

    Car Wizard? I heard the same thing. I think it might just be a GM thing.

    Motorcraft FL-400s is back...but...

    Still $3.96 a pop at Rock Auto. $3.72 each if you buy a case of 12.

    Oil Analyzers sample shipping

    I mail packages much larger than oil samples in USPS collection boxes all the time. The 10oz rule applies to stamped packages only. Prepaid return labels and internet postage does not apply.

    Stopped by to pick up some PVC at Home Depot and bought a 5 qt container of Castrol 10W-40 High Mileage semi-synthetic. Thanks!

    Project Farm >>>> Tests Floor Jacks

    Nothing against Snap-on. I love them! Just the fact they had to try suing Harbor Freight when at the end of the day the parts for the jack were coming out of a Chinese factory is sad & misleading. "Assembled in the USA" is as sketchy as it gets.

    Project Farm >>>> Tests Floor Jacks

    Snap-on probably still upset that the Daytona jack was coming out of the same Asian factory...

    2007 Pilot w/ 10W-40

    Correct. The leak slowed down but considering the vehicle is only in Phoenix I thought it couldn't hurt to try 10W-40.

    2007 Pilot w/ 10W-40

    Yes looking at a high mileage conventional oil. Vehicle is the non-VCM model. Originally spec'd for 5w-20. Always ran 5w-30. Leaks got better with conventional 5w-30 but still there. Main seal replacement along with the other leaking locations too $$$ to warrant fixing.

    2007 Pilot w/ 10W-40

    Probably a silly question but would I cause any issues running a 10W-40 in a Honda Pilot that only sees Phoenix, AZ weather? Vehicle is starting to get a little leaky and I'd like to move from conventional 5W-30 to something a tad thicker. 10W-40 seems to be spec'd for this exact engine in...

    Adding a new Subpanel

    As long as the utility confirms the feeder is capable of 200A and the service entrance is rated adequately you should be good. Meter from PG&E is already rated for 200A. My biggest concern would be that the service entrance does not have enough space (and potential bus bar rating) for you to...

    Rockauto

    They will ship what you order. Now ironically myself & @Inverted both ordered Champ XLs that were mislabeled & sold by Rock Auto. I can't happen to think that they didn't know they were shipping rejects.

    Looking for first person story: My warranty denied because of oil used

    A few months ago I had a Chinese friend read the owner's manual for the 2018 Honda Spirior Si since it has the K24W7 in my 2018 TLX. Low and behold they approve 10W-30. Grrr... resource conserving BS.

    Looking for first person story: My warranty denied because of oil used

    Honda dealer around here would put 5W-30 into everything.

    Robotic tire changer

    Screw that. Have a robot balance the wheels. Discount Tire can put them on my vehicles okay... they just can't balance them.
