    Multiple cleaners/additive in tank at once?

    I am wondering what the effect of my intended "4 oz. Seafoam, 4 oz. MMO" and POSSIBLE can of Berryman B-12 would be, if i didnt add anything for the next 2000 miles or so. Would these "clean?" I also picked up the one on the right, for PEA-based cleaner. Didnt add it or the Berryman OR the MMO...

    B12 ChemTool?

    I keep seeing "B12 Chemtool" on the shelf by Berryman next to the Seafoam and notic that it costs 1/3 the price of Seafoam. I also hear it is stronger than Seafoam. From what i know, its a pretty strong solvent. (Seems B12 is "strong," Seafoam is "somewhat strong," MMO is "weak" by comparison.)...

    I want to add additives to the fuel in our vehicle

    I am wanting to add additives to the fuel in the GMC Envoy. (03, Envoy XL, has the big six-cyl.) I am torn between Seafoam in its recommended dose, MMO, and Chevron. Of the three, MMO is the cheapest but may do the least cleaning.. Seafoam is a favorite, works well.. and Techron is the most...

    I just paid $9.73 for 1 quart of M1 AFE 0W-30

    $9.73. ONE QUART. I chose to top up a low oil level with it and not the 5W-30, 10W-30 or 10W-40 QS or Napa oils on the shelf (now you know where I got it.) $9.73. Thoughts? ? ?

    What makes a car stall? GMC did 3 times last night

    and I am trying to figure out why. Im about to go out and check the oil level.. I usually top up with 5W-30 unbeknownst to owner, if it is low. However, I doubt that oil level caused the stall. (This was suggested by owner.) (That said, it was reported to be a quart low once so that is slight...

    Tell me about M1 5W-40 TDT

    I have heard of/seen this oil, and now not so much. it has gone away like the M1 15W-50 that used to be so available at Walmart in 2010 (they filled the holes in the shelf with MANY jugs of it, usually about 5 at any given time of the 15W-50 grade) that I was tempted to try, and use thicker oil...

    Any truth to "debris" on bottom of fuel tank, 1/4?

    1/4 full? I know a lot of people like to keep their tank 1/4, 1/3 (?) sometimes 1/2 full if at all possible. The logic was "because of all the debris on the bottom can clog up fuel filter." Now.. I can actually say that even when I had vehicles that required checking out the fuel line, etc (a...

    Need best website for cheap airfare

    On plane tickets, not to be redundant. Right now, hotwire.com is handsomely beating most all other sites (including kayak.com.) Orbitz is sky-high.. Priceline is high, even. cheapoair.com appears close to Hotwire but I am booking a flight from PHL to LAS in July (end of.) Never really used the...

    2001 Pontiac Bonneville, needs Catalytic Converter

    How much will it cost? 1. SES Light comes on. Codes cleared; they keep coming on. 2. Changed 0@ sensor, as first step. "To see if it would fix the problem." It didnt. 3. Light came on again. Took back to guy, again. He says Catalytic Converter. I heard the number "$1000" tossed around. What...

    I put in 1 quart of Dexron 6.

    Well that "Whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" noise from stops from the truck is aggravating me. So, since a proper fluid level check is impossible, i just put in a quart. Went and got Supertech Blue Bottle Dexron "VI" (6.) I selected it because the Dexron III/Mercon said "Do not use in 2005 and later GM...

    Best laptop computer you have ever owned?

    I will be springing $850 for a cost-way-more-than-that-new Asus N73JQ-A2 with 17.3" Screen, 1st gen Intel Core i7, 6GB RAM, speakers that beat HP Beats Audio.. and I would like to ask the BITOG populace what their best (and, sure, why not, worst) experiences with laptop computers were as far as...

    Considering topping off her ATF 1/2 qt. Whine?

    Good morning all. The SUV situation with 03 Envoy XL has improved, somewhat. I feel there MAY be a SLIGHT "whine"/whirr noise. I have heard transmissions make this noise, so i suspect it may be that. WAG. 144,000 miles. It happens after the vehicle is fully warmed, driving for ~1 hour or so...
