There is a reason they sell as many in a year as the big three sell in a day. It's a car. Not a truck.
That was actually a selling point to me considering how I would be using the vehicle. With over half my driving being interstate trips, my needs were for an comfortable interstate...
Oooh this has always been a moral dilemma. If I am selling to an individual I tell them everything I know and everything I suspect, but then if I sell the car myself I'm not getting rid of it because of mounting mechanical issues.
I would be equally forthcoming when trading with a dealer, but...
'82 Monte Carlo Diesel. Left me stranded/needed towing 3 months into the relationship and every 18 months afterwards. We separated after only 65K miles.
I have a 2 stroke Husqvarana that my kids used for their summer yard service when they were in college.. It stood up to teenager op/maintenance in commercial use and is still going strong for me 10 years later use so I can vouch for Husqvarna.
After numerous failed attempts over the years at...
Yeah, most annoying and unsafe thing ever perpetuated in the name of environmentalism. If you happen to forget to vent it before using on a hot day, prepare to get a gasoline shower. I'm actually surprised there haven't been so many accidents that they were pulled from the market. First time my...
If this is a diesel tractor be very careful not to overfill the cup because at least in theory, you can get a runaway engine from air cleaner oil being carried over.
Regardless, if a paper element air cleaner was available for this model or if one could be adapted from something else I would...
On the 3 or 4 GM truck brake jobs I have done for family, I have never been able to get that keeper phillips screw to come loose even though we don't use a lot of road salt around here. I noticed it is a very soft steel, almost like they anticipated you would be drilling it out one day.
Remove the heating elements and lay it over on its side to drain as much water as possible out the element holes. Water heaters have concave dish bottoms for strength so there will always be some water trapped in the groove around the bottom seam while it is upright. At that point you can opt to...
Yup. They are mostly self cleaning. If they get into something that is just too gross to lick off, help them out with a damp cloth. As Garfield the cartoon cat remarked, you are a lot more careful about what you get on you when you have to bathe with your tongue.
I wound up by accident with a tamper resistant GFI in the garage and it is a a bit of a pain. Your docking approach has to be to come in at it straight and hard. Having said that, I would have bought a basket of tamper resistant outlets if they had been available back when we had toddlers. The...
I have always wondered if they recycle so much of their water that you get some of the wax/sealant applied anyway. Even when I only buy the el-cheapo suds and rinse wash my car still seems to bead water for a little while afterwards.
