Hello everyone. In the last 6 months, or so, I have noticed that the digital clock on my electric range is slowing down. I'll sync it with the microwave clock, and another clock, and after a few weeks, it will be about a minute slow. What's the fix? Is this common? Thanks.

I'd have to say it's between Autozone, and Advance Auto, for me. I live in a small town, about 8000 pop., and we have an Autozone, Oreillys, and a NAPA. The closest Advance Auto is 25 miles away. Last week, I decided to do a brake job on my 93 Silverado. I already had the brake shoes. I needed...

I've recently did an OC on my '11 Streetglide. Switched everything over to Amsoil. I was running theie 'Supershift' in the primary, and didn't like the feel of it. I drained it, and went with the 20w-50. So, I'm running 20w-50 in the engine and primary, and 75w-110 gear oil in the tranny. Anyone...

hey guys. I've been running the K&N 171C on my last couple of bikes. Mainly, because I can get them at a decent price, through AA. Are they a good filter? Is there something better? I don't see a lot said about K&N automotive oil filters, and was just wondering about them. Thanks

I did it now. I replaced the rear drum brakes on my truck. I went ahead and replaced the shoes, wheel cylinders, all the hardware, and the drums. I adjusted them until there was a slight drag, them backed it off a few more clicks. Anyways, I'm having a heck of a time bleeding them. I've been...

Hey guys. I have a Ford 1900 tractor, with a 3 cylinder Shibaura diesel engine. It's an 1980 - 82 model. I don't use it a whole lot, maybe an hour or 2 a week. Sometimes longer, just depends. Anyways, early this summer I did an OC, and put in Shaeffers Supreme 7000 synthetic blend oil. It seemed...

I'm going to give the neighborhood a "smoke show" tomorrow. Going to do the Sea Foam through the brake booster line. Then, planning on changing the oil. I've read you should also change the spark plugs, too after sea foaming an engine. Is that right? And should I change oil right after I do the...

I ran across this on ebay. Would it be beneficial to have one? Would it make that much difference? Universal oil catch can

Hi. I'm going to do a coolant flush/exchange on my 08 Chevy. It has the 5.3 engine. What is the "best" coolant I can put in? Do I want to stay away from Dex-cool? Should I add any additives? Thanks!

Hello all. I'm going to be replacing the intake manifold gasket on my old (93) Chevy pickup. It's the 350, and when you pop the hood, you can actually see the engine. It's the first "new" vehicle I ever bought. I bought it in 94, with about 10K miles on her. Anyways, long story short, I'm...

I did a search, and found a few discussions about SM & SN oils. But, I can't really find a solid answer. What's the difference? What makes a SN a SN? And a SM a SM? What does one have that the other doesn't? Simple to understand answers are greatly appreciated! Thanks

I have 2 car batteries. One has never been in a car, and the other was in about 6 months. I have them out now, with nothing to put them in. How should I store them? Should I hook a trickle charger up to them? I've heard to not set them on concrete. What's up with that? I 'd like to just put em...

I asked this in an earlier post but, didn't get a reply. I'm wondering where to take, or send, a torque wrench to get it calibrated. I have a Mac torque wrench, that I've had for about 20 years, and would like to get it calibrated. It has been used very lightly. Still looks like new. Anyone know?

Wow. Bet you've never thought that before. My boss has a work truck. It's a 06, 07 Chevy 1/2 ton P.U. He goes out in the morning, starts it up, and let's it idle darn near all day! Out there in the parking lot! He might go into town for a little bit, but most of the day, it's just sitting there...

Hello all. I have a 99 Blazer with 190,000 miles. Still runs great. I've pulled good maintenance on it since I've owned it (since 2000). Anyways, the front differential has developed a leak. I don't know if it leaks completely out or not, but I'll fill it up, and then have a fairly descent...

Hi. I have a short trip to work. I drive about a mile each way. Sometimes the temp. gauge just gets up to the normal reading before I shut the engine off. When not driving to work, I use my vehicles to run around town. it's a small town, about 8500 pop. I also run to a bigger town about 30 miles...
