Hi guys, I’m going to start by saying I’m not a bicycle guy, I don’t know the terminology and don’t know how to fix them. I do have a lot of experience fixing motorcycles but all this bicycle stuff is foreign to me. I was tearing into my 2012(I think) Giant Trance x2 to grease things up to...

Not sure if my terminology is correct but I'm looking to upgrade from a VERY cheap headband w/ magnifier lenses to something a little better. Here is a picture from amazon showing what I mean. I'm not opposed to getting something like above but wondering if there might be something a bit...

I have a strong preference in ratchets. Snap-On Dual 80s with quick release, flex head, long handle with hard handle. However Snap-On doesn't sell this configuration(hard handles with QR) I have two 1/4" versions if this, one with the "long" handle and another "extra long". I've obtained these...

Are you for or against DST and why? Pros? Cons?

So I was using Lucas Extra Heavy Grease for my trucks suspension and steering components. As you might know it's become very hard to get. I made a error of thinking that a Lithium was compatible with it but I know better now. I greased the truck once with the lithium grease in 5 places, two...

What is the BITOG opinion on the VW Atlas? Looking around 2017-19 year range? Any major drivetrain issues or anything else to be aware of or look out for?

I've been on a search for a good SUV for the wife/family. I've been trying to find a good low mile Highlander but I don't live in a major city and it's been slim pickings. However I'm seeing a few Mitsubishi Outlanders pop up, 2016-2017s are in our price range and my initial thoughts are that...

Recently had the heater core replaced under warranty on my 2020 Ford F350 7.3L due to it being plugged. Going into this recent cold snap I had barely any warm air blowing from the vents, I assumed blend door actuator but after they all checked out the only thing that made sense was a plugged...

I cut open the last filter from my 820 stash. Filter was in service on a 2020 Ford F350 7.3L 181hrs, 6049km (3780miles) on oil (Kirkland 5w30) Typical wavy pleats. I inspected closely for tears and found none. Champ XL went back on.

Those of you that use your programmable thermostats to have the temp adjusted while your away, what settings have you found to work well? We've had one for a year now but I haven't bothered changing it for heating, only somewhat for cooling in the summer. I usually work long days but my wife...

Well its actually a scooter... We have this Norco "curb blaster" scooter that has been in my wife's family since the late 80s I believe. I noticed the steering was a bit "notchy" so I pulled it apart for inspection as i would really like to fix it. I'm not a bicycle guy so please excuse me if...

With GON's recent thread about losing weight I started thinking about my weight loss/gain journeys over the years. One thing I've done off and on is fasting, I've done intermittent fasting, OMAD and a hand full of 48hr and 72hr fasts and have had good results from all of them. I'm currently...

Traded a guy some gun powder for this 98 pw80 today. My oldest daughter has been begging me for a dirt bike and this deal was too good to pass up. Needs some work which is perfect because I’ve been wanting another project. The good: starts and runs really well and all the important things...

Just came by this on youtube, don't see me buying one anytime soon but **** would it be handy and its super neat. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Fractal-Vise_1600318578412.html

Seen this over on Garage Journal https://www.astrotools.com/product/extra-long-flex-head-nano-socket-ratchet-wrench/ Seems like a great idea and I already have the nano sockets. My only concern would be if I have a dumb moment and backed myself into a corner with it (it’s non-reversible)...

I'm seeking help regarding finding a filter for my needs please. I have searched here extensively but it seems there have been a lot of changes to the recommended filters in recent history so I feel a new thread is warranted. Use: 2020 Ford F350 7.3L Used for job that requires a lot of idle...

Looks like the FL820S and some others are getting replaced. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/attachments/oep-pdf.725003/?fbclid=IwAR2LNy_fsL4k8vJ8SbZzN93ai9qoMKnSs7ZSGoHCbmgsxIvZwu60O3jUnaI_aem_th_AdZpNi1x3IC2Oi9IK4_IqZI3TtDJKGoGy3FPrWWCB_ih-i_Tz4RRh4s82gRK-X_-UMg

Looking to pick up a used Toyota Highlander, primarily used by my wife to go to work and haul around our two kids. Will also be used for road trips. Looking for a late 3rd gen or early 4th gen. I think a early 4th gen might be best as it seems like they do have some nice upgrades over the 3...

I have a 2020 Ford F350 7.3L Gas truck that I use for work. Only ~55,000 miles but it has 3200 hrs. Would like to replace the coolant and to be honest I don't have much experience with this to be honest. Should I use a flush product that you add to the current coolant ahead of time? Do I use...

So not long ago both Shell and Chevron both had non-ethanol options, about a year ago Shell dropped out leaving only Chevron. Last night I go to the Chevron station to fill my jerry cans for my small engines and see these stickers on the pumps now... Looks like that's it for non-ethanol gas...
