Going back to the AAA Fuel Quality Report from 2016: Yeah, there is a difference in Top Tier fuel brands when it comes to performance. https://www.aaa.com/AAA/common/AAR/files/Fuel-Quality-Full-Report.pdf From the study, fuels 4, 5, and 6 were Top Tier fuels. Fuel 6 exceled at reducing intake...

With an LZ0 Duramax, this is a 10-speed. For 10Lxxxx transmissions, the cooler bypass is internal to the transmission, not part of the cooler line fitting like the 6Lxx and 8Lxx transmissions. There is no way to modify or change the cooler bypass short of significant transmission disassembly...

The 3.0L diesel is only used in full size trucks and SUV produced in North America. Along with the North American market, it is also exported to South America and Australia. The engine launched in 2019 and 0W20 DexosD has been the recommend spec and viscosity for all sales regions (per the...

That's a bold statement about a driver who has never even stood on a podium in F1. Perez handily out-performed Nico at Force India, managing to secure podium positions with a mid-field car, which is why Checo is standing on podiums for Red Bull and Nico is fighting (and typically failing) to...

Hal Needham, director of Bandit, was the 2nd unit director (2nd unit was in Florida) for Gator and this is allegedly where he got the plot points for Bandit. When he'd return to his hotel, each day he'd notice one or two of his beers was missing. When he brought it up to the crew, they told...

Bet you're a lot of fun at parties.

To increase rear visibility, modern GM vehicles with a rear wiper (SUVs and CUVs) will automatically swipe the rear wiper if the front wipers were on and the vehicle is put into reverse. It will even do this if the wipers were on in the previous ignition cycle (as in, it was/is raining, you're...

It's not that people aren't willing to take on mortgages with a 7% APR. There are many, many people ready to sign paperwork. It's that the people with 3% mortgages aren't willing to sell their homes and walk away from that rate. Inventory is really screwy and one statistic shows that: New...

Let me get this straight: People who live where a massive storm blows through every three years and wrecks havoc amongst 1/3 of the homes in the state are surprised that their insurance rates are going up? Seems like maybe Florida should invest a little more in their state's education system.

Calculations are a little off. Average price of a new car in 1996 was $18,777. Over the past 28 years, inflation has averaged 2.52% year-over-year, leading to a cumulative cost increase of almost exactly 100%. Based on the actual rate of inflation, using the $18,777 average cost in 1996, the...

In the Chattanooga plant, only skilled trades had voted to unionize.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-temperature_processing Funny how grocery prices gets everyone all riled up but a perfectly safe process that's been around for a half-century which greatly extends the life of products in your own refrigerator and reduces your cash outlay on food each...

For the truck in the video, there's obviously something wrong with it. Having abnormal combustion events beat the hell out of the rotating assembly for who knows how long, then having it all fail when it begins to free-rev to the moon isn't really an indicator on fragility. Mis-time the...

PF63 DID recently go through a redesign. Purchased from my local Chevrolet dealer: Looking inside, it appears to be the plastic cage of a standard Ecore but the baseplate is obviously different than the typical flat-baseplate Ecore design.

ICAN, The HighWire, Del Bigtree, the Selz family If you're looking for a reason why people are becoming dumber, that's a solid list of reasons to start with.
