    Costco upgrades Top Tier Fuel

    That test is not a proper test because they didn't use the same base stock gasoline with different additives. The base gas is going to affect the deposit formation as much as the detergent is.

    tire inflators at all the gas stations are closed down?

    I tend to choose the option of fixing the tire.........unless it is every vehicle I have with aluminum wheels that always have corrosion where the bead seats. All three have at least one wheel that leaks from the bead. My blazer with steel wheels are still all the way up after sitting for 7...

    Akebono pads don't include hardware?

    Never seen the "hardware" wear out on a gm vehicle. I have seen those stainless shims bent wrong and not work though making you have to reuse the old ones.

    Are star wheel adjustable brakes not actually self adjusting?

    They do work in rust bucket states but you cant just ignore them. Sometimes you have to go to an empty parking lot or road and back up several times hitting the brakes hard. Same for just getting on the brakes hard sometimes going forward helps keep the glaze off of things.

    What spark plug?

    Clean it gap it and reuse it if the electrode is relatively square. Plugs get over changed on small equipment. You will know when it needs replaced.

    Pulled the loins when they hit 145-150 and reloaded with 5 full loins and six halves. Still have six halves to go. Then they got wrapped in tinfoil and will be put in the fridge till Wednesday. Then they will sliced and heated in a roaster. What should we put on them when they go in the roaster?

    What are you smoking?

    Okay lets do one of these threads for smoked food. I have to smoke 120lbs of pork loin for an FFA banquet. Using Meat Church Honey Hog BBQ and apple wood. Had to cut 6-8 inches off of each loin to fit them in the smoker and can only get 2 loins to a rack. Going to have to do 3 loads by the...

    The Animal Shelters Are Full...

    Bob Barker told you what to do...... I don't think any animals should be mistreated but I draw the line at spending more on a pet than what I would on a farm animal. I like my dogs and would be sad when they die but won't lose sleep over it. Being on a farm does that to you. My wife did...

    Anyone with a stuck float needle........

    More likely the fresh gas was the solution than the additive. Additives will not remove large amounts of gunk. More likely it loosened it up and the vibration did the rest. Tapping on the carb most likely would have fixed it also. Currently working on a tractor that likes to stick the needle...

    What to do with this backwire connection?

    Twist as you pull and they will come out. If the new ballast is for T12 lamps you have to cut the wires and nut them together because they are not legal for new fixtures so the wires are short enough they will not reach the tombstones. I never removed the wires from tombstones unless the...

    What to do with this backwire connection?

    Low current application. Some do have a release. Some old ones had screw terminals also.
