I should have bought more ammo during the Trump slump. I miss buying steel case 9mm for 12 cents/round

How can it not be covered. It's a factory engine part that isn't considered a consumable. (Like a gasket would be) Their verbiage even states it is covered, AFAIK. GM doesn't deserve anyone's money if they pull crap like this.

There was/is a class action regarding this. The Honda forums have been talking about this issue consistently...

The color of the oil isn't the issue. It's the amount of gunk it's picking up in such a short time coupled with lifter noise. I poured in 1/3 bottle of ceratec last night with my fresh oil. Curious to see if that makes any difference. I'm not expecting anything from the ceratec. I will say...

It doesn't take much gas in the oil to advance wear. No idea where to pull data on hard numbers, though. I would also have to imagine that there would be several variables: oil formulation, bearing material, etc. Honda, and others, have had issues with fuel dilution in recent years in their...

Some vehicles don't give you the option to turn it off from the factory. GM has done this on several models

I have had the best intentions to do this....but haven't been able to bring myself to do it, yet. Replacing it looks like a pain. It is on my short list, though.

Probably 180k~200k. It doesn't get driven a whole lot on a consistent basis.

I checked the coolant for combustion gasses and that came back all clear. Perhaps there is some coolant mixing in but in just very small amounts the combustion check wouldn't catch?

I had them off about 2 years ago. There was definitely some buildup. But nothing extreme.

Yep. That's the stuff.

I have an 02 suburban with the 5.3 that has ~220k miles on it. I've owned it for 5 or 6 years and always do regular maintenance. No idea what previous owner did concerning oil changes but there is definitely some sludge. I used a product like Motor Flush, or some such, out of curiosity about...

My God...$1,100 for a small 1/4 ratchet set??? No way this set is 10x to 20x better than the competition.

These sound like Autozone prices. Have you checked wal mart, rock auto, etc?

Tools breaking is pretty normal. A wrench breaking after 3-5 light uses and about 10 ft/lb of torque is not acceptable. Or worth the cost "savings" to me. Don't get me wrong, I have aquired lot of tools from harbor freight over the last 20 years. However, they have definitely sold me a lot of...

We have 4 cars. 2 of our cars bottomed out in value....years ago. Lol One of our cars took a hit in value as it's new. I'm surprised my rates went down 20%, though. No accidents, tickets, or claims in 10 or 15 years. If that matters.

Good to hear. Hell may be freezing over, though. My auto insurance just went down, too. No idea why but I'm not arguing!

No dang way is that making it to production. Lol

A few years. 10 maybe? It was a ratchet that never really saw any use, either. It was the type where the handle can flex in 2 different places. Once I put a small amount of torque on the bolt, the handle let loose and the handle popped me in the eye. I have come to despise cheaply made tools.

This happened to me just the other week with an older HF tool. I have learned Years ago to just.buy better tools when I need a new one
