My cousin has a 2000 Mazda B2500. It broke down today, and we figured we would take a look at it and probably tow it to the hole in the wall I usually use. When we got out to the truck, the hood was up and the battery gone. The truck had been rummaged through as well. Makes me sick, it was...

I need to get a high mileage 2004 Isuzu NPR with a bad LQ4 6.0 back on the road and have found an engine, also LQ4 from an 04 Yukon Denali AWD. I assume intake and oil pan will need to be swapped, but anyone else have experience here and know anything else we might need to be prepared for? I...

I am looking for custom fit seat covers for my 1994 Explorer. It has factory leather seats in excellent condition, and I want to keep them that way if possible. So far I've looked at Seatcoversunlimited.com, Covercraft (velour), and Wet Okole. Does anyone here have experience with these...

https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-24-in-163-cc-CRAFTSMAN-CSV-Lawn-Vacuum/1000602879 I have a major leaf problem, this year seems worse and I either need a leaf destruction system or to just hire someone. I am thinking about this thing and was wondering if anyone had experience. It's half the...

I have purchased my ultimate dinosaur... 1994 2 door Eddie Bauer, 4x4, factory JBL stereo, factory popup sunroof with no leaks, needs some odds and ends, but I love it. First thing will be tires.

Back in September my beloved 1994 Explorer was wrecked after someone pulled out in front of it. After a frustrating replacement search, I bought a run/drive $1500 2WD hooptie from a local dirt lot just to have a Ranger based Explorer. 1997 2WD XLT 4.0 SOHC, white with metallic gray lower tu...

This isn't really a true restoration since the truck is now optioned differently than how it was built by GM, and the build quality is too good, but the attention to detail is just incredible. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1969-chevrolet-k10-2/ Even though it's not numbers matching and...

I decided to pay someone else who details cars for a living to clean up my 94 Explorer...I am quite happy with the results. Way better than anything I could do over a whole weekend.

I stumbled on a website for a car dealer in Brazil that I thought other BITOGers might find interesting. They have a bunch of classic Brazilian market Ford, GM, and Chrysler vehicles. http://www.pastorecarcollection.com.br/ Some of the ones I liked... 1985 Ford F100 4.9L I6 - This truck has...

Had an interesting failure on a truck at work, 2012 Silverado 4.8L V8 / 4L60E auto with about 180K miles on it. It has been making a knocking noise for a while that was suspected to be the flywheel...found out it for sure it was... The driver said there wasn't any real noise when it...

We had a box truck crisis at work and needed one with a liftgate ASAP, and after a week of looking all I really found that was "cheap" was an 04 Isuzu NPR with a GM 6.0 and I assume 4L80E (it looks like one). My boss went ahead and bought it yesterday, and it was put to work all day today. It...

Spotted my first Mahindra Roxor today, still wrapped up. Wish I could have gotten a closer look. The color looks good on it, I also like the basic steel wheels on this one. No, they are not street legal, basically a big side by side. Pretty cool though. www.roxoroffroad.com

I was browsing Bring a Trailer and saw this 1977 Scout SSII: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1977-international-harvester-super-scout-ii/ I thought this sticker was pretty interesting... That seems like a pretty bold claim for 1977. I didn't know any passenger vehicles had long life coolant...

While replacing the leaking heater control valve/rear hoses in my Explorer I gouged the heater core fittings trying to get the original hoses off. Since it's an easy replacement on this vehicle I decided to throw a new heater core at it. Found this 1994 quick lube coupon behind the glove box...

Anyone have experience with Cooper RTX tires? NTB has them on sale for less than Wrangler Radials, which are garbage. I just need decent general purpose 235/75/15 tires for a 25 year old SUV and pick up. Wal-Mart also has a similar cheap BF Goodrich AT...I hate going to Wal-Mart, but am...

I'm fixing some things on my 1994 Ranger. The gas gauge hasn't worked since I have had it, the outer hose on the fuel filler neck was severely cracked, and it was having a stalling issue that matches up to a TSB about fuel volatility. The TSB says to replace things that are broken (like the...

Decided to browse Copart...I really wish this wasn't all the way on the other side of the country and a dealer only sale (have to pay a dealer/broker to buy it). https://www.copart.com/lot/47645597 The interior color isn't my favorite usually, but for some reason I kind of like it in this...

When I saw an RO print off with this description today, I thought the service writers were just coming up with their own descriptions again, but nope, this is straight from the horse's mouth... Quote: #17249: Service Update - Chuggle Drive Quality - (Jul 17, 2017) Chevrolet Silverado LD 2017...

People often ask on BITOG, "what's the most reliable ancient pickup with a lot of miles that I can buy," this is why that's a moot question... I was replacing the rear brakes on my 1994 Ranger when this reared its head. I knew it was bent before I tore into the brakes, but was hopeful I...

Of all vehicles, the first to break down on me was a 4.9L I6, manual transmission, 1993 F-150 today. Basically I was handed the keys and asked to see if I had any ideas about why it was "acting up." The first couple miles were fine. Then I gave it a good amount of gas while pulling out on to a...
