    US bred German Shepherds and bad hips

    I showed GSD for several years, a few AKC Champions and obedience title holders. Got into the German imports and Schutzhund the last few years. Had the Southeastern Siegerin in 2011. She passed away last year and never had any health issues until the end. HD is a problem. a good breeder should...

    topping off coolant

    just my experience, but I noticed this summer my coolant tank was about an inch or so below the full mark. I started topping it off every week or so. took it to a mechanc, they did all the tests and could not find a leak. I decided to just leave it alone and see how far down it would go. been a...

    best advice is use an oil that meets chrys spec ms6395. owners manual is pretty clear and there are plenty of choices. may or may not ever matter but why take the chance.

    19 Ram Rebel oil choices

    personally, I would use an oil that meets the Chrysler spec MS6395,(if truck is in warrant)y. the owners manual is pretty clear on this. if it's out of warranty it's not an issue. and just for the record, I think the spec is BS, but it can be reason for a crappy dealer to deny coverage or...

    Anybody shop at an Aldi supermarket?

    I like Aldi a lot for some things. Very good prices on fruits/vegetables, their whole wheat bread is the best I have found anywhere. very good prices on imported wines/beers if you are into that. canned stuff is on par with anything you find at any other supermarket and generally cheaper than...

    purchased my first Supertech air filter

    just replaced the 3 y.o. fram in my jeep with an AC/Delco, which is pretty well thought of on some jeep forums. did not go back fram because it was just a tad large, had to force the top, clips back together last time. ST was not an option, but I also would do ST and sleep easy.

    YouTubers take home pay?

    goonzquad is one I find interesting. 2 brothers that started out on a rock (o.k. a concrete slab) rebuilding wrecks bought at auction. these kids, from what I have learned were unemployed when they started and are now owning Lamborghini, Ferrari's, Hellcats, so some serious money is coming in...

    Buying Installing Tires at Walmart

    Buying Installing Tires at Walmart

    I had a set of 265/70/17 put on my 04 Wrangler this week. Factory was 15 inch. No problems. I live 2 mile from local WM and have been satisfied with the service.

    Transmission woes....143k

    I have a 2004 wrangler with the 42 rle. are you sure that's what is in your liberty? I thought they quit using it in 2006 or so, but not sure. anyway, it's not noted as a particularly strong tranny. I dropped the pan and changed the fluid 2 years ago when my son turned 16. I replaced the...

    floor jack recommendations

    after a lot of research, I got the 3 ton Arcan from Costco. I'm happy with my choice. I'm cheap, so Harbor Freight would have been my next choice. just read the reviews and keep your receipt.

    Driver's seat is worn out

    I had the one on my 2003 Ram, 200,000 miles rebuilt at a local upholstery shop. I did confirm this shop had a very good reputation. think it cost me $125 or so. other than that, I'd start hitting the salvage yards.

    Question regarding coming to a stop at stop signs.

    I'm old and lots of experience in traffic and violations. only advice I have is obey all traffic signs as clearly indicated or be willing to pay the price. I have never seen a traffic sign give a option A or B. it ain't rocket science.
