    What should I do with my roof lights?

    x2 Lower your rack, lower the lights so you can get into the garage, and at the pump, pay to play. Baskets themselves are going to cause a bit of wind resistance. All those little bars catch wind, even if they are in line with each other. I really like the look of lights that are close...

    HOW TO: Change Transmission Fluid & Filters

    By the way I changed my filter and fluid 5 days ago and used a lubelocker gasket and torqued as specified, and I haven't leaked a drop. Cleaning of the RTV was quite a PITA this time, so I'm glad I'd bought it before hand.

    Tallest height with stock UCA's

    Are the MD springs the same length as the HD, making them shorter under load? That is quite a bit shorter than mine I believe, I have HD springs with no clevis. I'm thinking I was just under 22 with that and my top plate spacer.

    Changing Trans filter - quick answer would be great

    I've got a 42RLE. The filter comes with an O'ring. What I've done is insert the o'ring up into the cavity, it seats nicely. Then I put the filter up there and at first I was trying like hell to get the filter tube to go INTO the o'ring, but I'm pretty sure you can't get it in. So now it is...

    Rear wiper blade

    I got one at napa, but it didn't have the right clip on it. I was able to swap the clip from my old one to the new blade. Also, the blade worked like crap from day one. It was bowed a little bit the wrong way and never worked it out, I get about half a blade worth of wipe. Go to the dealer.

    Idiot Dealer screwed up

    If half inch is too big, I'd guess it is a 12 mm. That doesn't come in grade 8/5/2, it comes in 10.9,9.whatever, etc. Get 10.9. Stainless bolts are typically considerably weaker. You can get some mil spec stainless that are still very strong, but 10.9 or grade 8 steel will still be much...

    HOW TO: Change Transmission Fluid & Filters

    I don't want to get in an argument, but your excel spreadsheet is wrong. I'm not going to get in a debate on whether or not this works, contaminates, whatever, but the % is not calculated right. If you had 14 quarts of water, removed two, added in 2 quarts of orange juice, you'd have 14.3% OJ...

    A Non-Controversial Oil Question

    I get my Mobil 1 5w30 at wallyworld for 23 bucks for 5 quart jug. I was in the parts store and saw it for like 25 and just about bought it to save a trip to walmart. then I noticed those rats sell 4 quart bottles. Basically trying to pull a fast one since they can't compete. So because of...

    Good Oil Filter + Good Price

    Problem is these things change over the years. I'm guessing when you were a kid they weren't walmart's main filter line. Basically the rule of thumb for me is that if it is sold at walmart as their main product line, expect that it had every nickel of high quality material and solid...

    Rumbling noise and severe vibrations

    I had quite a bit of roaring that was taken care of by replacing the U-joints on the rear driveshaft. I just replaced them both. If you've got an hour or two, a vise, and a variety of sockets to use to push the u-joints in and out, it is a pretty cheap thing to try. Mine were like $34 for the...

    Good Oil Filter + Good Price

    I picked up four mobil 1 filters and a crapton of oil once when they had a special for a filter and 5 quarts for like 26 bucks. The pain in the butt thing is that it was 1 qt bottles. Kind of hard to carry the old oil in them without really making a mess...I like the 5gallon ones...

    I'm watching my odometer just about weekly and thinking about when services are coming up: Mobile 1 Synthetic 5W30 Change every 3k Filter - Mobil 1 Air filter - Amsoil cleaned as needed Auto Tranny - flushed when I bought at 42k, flushing again at 60k with filter change. 15k intervals...

    hockey pucks

    I bought mine at MC sports for like $1.25 each. It would cost most people more to ship them than to buy them. I see amazon has some for like $1.50, but $5 each shipped...I actually did a fake complete order and they made you pay like 19 bucks for shipping alone for four...!
