    Motormaster OE Plus Check before use!!!

    There really is nothing wrong with the one that is an E-core, I just had not been on BITOG for quite a while and was not familiar that this was the new thing in filters. The other one is a piece of junk and may have clouded my view temporarly of the pair. The holes are closed or near closed on...

    Motormaster OE Plus Check before use!!!

    Been a long time since I posted something on BITOG. I was reading some information on oil filters lately and saw a positive post about the somewhat new Canadian Tire Motormaster OE Plus oil filters. I need to do a change soon on my 2017 Honda Civic and the specs vs price looked favorable so I...

    Ford Eco-boost vs silverado 5.3

    I think $5k seems like too much of a spread in price, I would shop a few more ford dealers and see if you can do better on that front if you really want the ford.

    all cars have backup cameras in 2018

    I am in the camp that thinks this is a great technology but I am opposed to the government making them mandatory, I think as the costs come down manufacturers will eventually adopt them as standard equipment anyway. My fear is once this becomes mandatory, a non-functioning camera will fail you...

    VW Golf TDI Shifting Issues

    A shot first gear syncro in itself doesn’t mean that the car is a bad car but that is way too much money for that age and mileage with a significant problem as well.

    Ford to Move Pickup Production From Mexico to Ohio

    I think Ford leaving Escabado has more to do with Navistar crowding them out at the plant as Navistar is ramping up there. The new Transit vans are going to be very much like the Sprinter vans which until now at least were the best vans in the market.

    Dash Cams anyone here uses them ??

    A co-worker has one. It bailed his butt out on an accident already. Getting one is in the plans for me. His advice is don’t get the cheapest one you can find because it defeats the point of having one if the detail is too poor. I would suggest if you cant get what you want for what you want to...

    Navistar to Close Alabama Engine Plant

    Not surprised, Navistar engines have been a disaster post EPA-2010.

    Doing my own alignment (adjust toe-in, toe-out.)

    When I worked in a garage our alignment guy said that he was taught to make the car always drift to the right. The reason being you never want the drift to be in the direction of oncoming traffic. Depending how much drift there actually is, I wouldn’t bother.

    Hello, So I have had a series of break ins and hit and runs on my parked vehicles at 2 different residences in the last 12 months and needless to say its getting old. I had been planning getting a camera system when I put up my new garage in the spring but I have decided that I want to move...
