I had a brain [censored] and added diesel to a half tank of gas in my mower. It's about 6 gallons of 50/50 gas + diesel. Luckily I have dual 6 gal tanks and can still use mower until I get the tank drained. Any Ideas of easiest way (but safe) to dispose of the mix? Will it hurt a car mixed 1 gal...

I just posted this in another topic I had going, but I thought I would start a new thread on it. I finally got around to using this kit http://www.midwayautosupply.com/detailedproductdescription.asp?3609 and I don't think it did much. It feels like it might idle a bit smoother (probably my...

I had a brake hose leak today in my truck and it drained all my brake fluid. The master cylinder has a black sludge in it were at a glance it still looks half full. Should I do anything about that or just dump new fluid in and then bleed brakes. This is a 00 Silverado. I'm replacing with...

Well I'm actually B-12ing it. I bought this kit http://www.midwayautosupply.com/detailedproductdescription.asp?3609 I'm a newbie to this kind of stuff and would like any help I can get explaining the best way to do this to a 00 Silverado 5.3L. Do I have to worry about MAP sensor or anything...

I changed my oil a couple weeks ago. I put 7oz of LC in with 7qts of oil (6.2L diesel). I wasn't thinking at all about the ARX I ordered. Well yesterday I got my bottle and put it in not thinking at all about the LC that was previous put in Am I hurting anything? I would rather dump it all...

It's been over 2 weeks since I ordered 3 bottles of Auto-Rx to put in all my vehicles. I was doing some things on my work truck so I decided it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and change the oil figuring I would get my shipment a few days later. Well it never came and now my 92 Chevy 6.2L diesel has...

I found a bottle of Sta-bil in my garage that works perfect for FP & LC. It has two lids on it and it measures dosage by squeezing it. A full squeeze gives it 1oz, but you can gently squeeze it and the fill chamber has 1/4oz markings so it can be measured 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or 1oz. The second lid...

I am in the process of tuning up a truck I just bought. I plan on seafoaming the engine through a vacuum line. My problem is I am new to all this and I'm not sure the order I should do these things. I'm also going to use A-RX in the oil and FP60 in the fuel. I plan on changing the plugs, plug...

I'm thinking about having my neighbor change all my fluids for me instead of taking it to a trans shop. The truck has 110,000 and the previous owner said nothing but oil and fuel/air filters have been changed regularly. Trans has never been touched and he said the rear was changed once. I need...

I have a 00 Silverado with 110,000 miles and do not know the service history. I was thinking about using Auto Rx in the Oil and Trans. My question is how should I go about servicing the transmission? After reading this forum I'm leary of having a T-Tec flush done because of the high mileage...

I just purchased a 00 silverado 5.3L that is taking a few cranks to start. I haven't been driving it yet so I don't have a bunch of details. The fuel pump fuse kept blowing on him but he insist that it is a fail safe for running to low on fuel (he was broke and only putting a few gallons in at...

I think I have narrowed my search for a tire down to either the Firestone Destination LE or the Yokohama H/T-S. Any thoughts on which would be best? I can get both at the same price. They will go on a truck that will tow a 3,000lb GTW(fully loaded)often. The truck is a 00 Silverado 1500 reg cab...

I have a couple of questions.. First I only drive short distances towing a 3,000lb GTW. I have two trucks that I use in this manor. They never see highway use. One is a 92 silverado 6.2L diesel that I sometimes keep running most of the day with A/C on. The other is a 00 Silverado 5.3L that has...

I am buying my buddies truck which is black. It has a few scratches and some minor swirls. Not sure if I can do much with the scratches, but I figured I would ask you guys what I should throw at it because it does need a good clean and wax job. I'm a newbie to detailing a car other then your...

I have a faulty fuel sender, but I also need a complete fuel system cleaning. Which product TECHRON® Concentrate Plus Fuel System Cleaner, or something else? I also plan on doing a RX treatment and I am overdue for a oil change. Is it OK to clean the fuel system with the old filter then change...

Has anyone tried these on a truck? They get great review at Tirerack and I can get them installed locally for $465 out the door. I am thinking about putting them on a 00 Silverado Reg cab with long bed. This truck will be used for work sometimes towing a 3,000 lb load. I don't know much about...

I use Mobil 1 15-50 in my mowers hydro system. The Manuel calls for 10-40 dino with lubrisol additive in one of my mowers and the others call for Mobil 1. The manufacture has said synthetic can be used instead as long as it is 15-50 and no lubrisol is added. Now I noticed this new stuff and want...

How do I determine the age on Mobil 1 quarts. My local Kmart has all Mobil1 on sale for 3.99 but it looks old. I noticed that the label on some of the quarts are different. I have a feeling since this store does a low volume that all the oil is old and some might even be older. For example some...

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum. I have never really cared to much about what oil I used until I purchased my first diesel. I have no experience and have always used some sort of Mobile oil. I do not put many miles on this truck. It is used in my lawn care business only. I tow about 3,000...

I own a lawn care company and want to make sure I give my engines the best possible care. My questions are for which oil would work best in these engines. I am located in the St. Louis metro area. We generally operate in temperatures between 60 -110f, but in the fall these temperatures can get...
