Saturday I’m installing a new Donaldson Filter Minder to the 2010 Crown Vic so I know exactly when to change the air filter

Had to replace my fuel door assembly on our 2017 Explorer. They have one of those plastic door hinges that break easily. Rather than disassemble stuff, I used a dremel to cut it out. New one snapped right into place… Here is the old one…you can see the plastic hinge pin shooting out the side. Made it so the door would not stay closed…

I can’t quite place this. I realize it’s an extreme close-up, ??

Wife’s crv got a X2 AGM from batteries plus. im getting 2.5 years per battery in this car, over 3 batteries. The last one was a warranty replacement for the middle one, so battery #3 was free. The X2 has a 4 year full warranty, roll the dice. The failing battery may be worth the $22 core, so it’s going to sit on the charger for a few days before I decide what to do with it.

Stripped down a Detroit 4-53T Silver Series and sent it off to the machine shop for some TLC.

Helping a friend w/ a $5K Boxster. I work on my and certain friends' cars for fun and to relax and normally wouldn't touch something like this, but it's for a good cause...

Found this, elegant solution to not replacing the $12.50 OE part. nice color choices though;

That’s a CSOB cobble job

Replaced radiator on my 2006 Scion tC. I also changed out the upper and lower radiator hoses as the old ones are 17 years and 168975 miles old. New radiator cap and new coolant and all is well.

2019 Lexus RX450h, 62K. A word of caution for the hybrid V6 2016-2020(maybe the ‘21 cars too) HiHy and RXh with the 2GR-FXS, the cowl needs to come off and so does the EGR cooler, I had to unbolt a pipe first at the cat and then midway to be able to remove the cooler. The cooler got a bath of Purple Power and hot water. The non-hybrid 2016-2021 Highlander/RX350/Sienna all get the 2GR-FKS and 2GR-FE before 2016 without EGR and the cowl can stay on from what I hear.

The intake looks clean.

Those plugs does not look bad at all. Would you still replace them at the next 60k miles?

Trying to motivate myself to wash and put a second coat of Powerlock on my wife's 08 Liberty.

First time trying the X2? Looked one up in my area at Batteries Plus and it's around $350... seems a bit steep unless those things really last/perform well for a LONG time.

Within the next few days I intend to replace the serpentine belt on my ride. Every vehicle I've swapped them on has been a 5-10 min job tops. This thing will be more involved due to the insanely cramped engine bay. Will likely require removing a wheel, inner wheel well just to get two hands on the pulleys. Original belt on it with 97K miles, so can't complain there and a new Gates replacement was just under $30.

Clean Jeep … plant a tree … organize storage building clutter … give up on clutter …

Today I'm going to go through the shop and house and hit all the electrical plugs with Superlube Synthetic grease, and will probably lube door hinges, vacuum, and do some light dusting. After all that I'll probably go into town and pick up a quart of Brunswick stew from the local barbecue place.

I would, cats aren’t cheap. If it was my car, I’d flirt with running them until the first P030x is thrown.

Some maintenance on this 2016 Fusion 2.0 EcoBoost 67k
Air/cabin filters, plugs, Oil change (All Motorcraft)

I literally wheezed

Costco put the wrong style (right), so I put the correct style lugnut (left)

Mixing SN Plus with SP, hope it doesn't blow up

I give this splash shield a raised finger, you guess which one
Then I took it to the car wash, and it's owner came and picked it up
Then I plugged a tire on the Fiesta he also has

Then I went and bought this Fusion for me
