    Harbor Freight 1/2" electric impact wrench....?

    Just this evening i used it to remove the axle nut off a '99 (rusty) Wrangler set at 175 ftlbs from the factory. Piece of cake! Worth every penny.

    Wagner Thermo-quiet pads

    I've been using Wearever Platinum pads and Wearever rotors from AAP on 3 cars and am very satisfied. With the 30% off TRT30 it's a great solution.

    Differential fluid for Dana 30,35c, and 44?

    I actually have 3 Jeeps in the family, 2 TJ's and 1 JK. On the Jeep forums there's been a lot of discussion on this topic and it turns out that unless you drive under the severe conditions listed dino is the best choice. The differential manufacturers have made some strong statements to that...

    Preferred Brake Bleed Method

    Another method is the one-man bleeding kit that you can get at most part stores. I bought mine at Sears 10 years ago and have used it many times. If you set it up properly no way air gets sucked in. You do have to watch how much you've filled it but that's about it. Simple to use IMO.

    24" Unbreakable Breaker Bar ?

    After reading this topic I bought 4 HF 25" breaker bars at the Natick, MA store as Christmas presents for my sons along with my 2 cars so we can get the lug nuts off. All were made in China. I stopped by after Christmas and their new stock was made in Taiwan. I bought one more and compared it to...

    2010 Chrysler 3.8L burning oil

    We have a 2007 Wrangler that with the 3.8 that does burn oil. We bought it at 37K and have monitored the oil level very closely. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of posts on the Jeep forums which I frequent about this issue. The "made in Mexico" ring issue is highly debated along...

    Wrangler Transmission Service Question

    I have an '01 Wrangler and changed the fluid when we bought it used a year ago with only 24K miles on it. I did drop the pan and changed the filter and then I pulled the line going from the tranny into the cooler (it's the one on the driver's side) and let the tranny pump do its thing. Pumped...

    Slime digital tire gauge

    And my wife couldn't understand why a flat tire is only flat on the bottom...true story! I have a 30 year old PCL pencil style, 2 Milton pencils, Craftsman $6 dial and some brand of digital...all are +/- 2lbs of each other. The first Craftsman dial was off by 5lbs so I exchanged it for one that...

    peak

    I also got 30 qts FAR and have been using it in my '01 Maxima and '00 4cyl Camry. I do 4-5K OCIs and no issues. Can't beat the price! Down to 8 qts so I'm hoping they do something like this again on Turkey Day.

    Fumoto Valve

    I have the Fumotos with the nipples on all 3 of my cars. I have a piece of vinyl tubing that I attach to the end and have it drain into a container. Saves the messy part of pouring from a pan into a funnel and into a container so there's more of a benefit than just saving the time of removing a...
