Does anyone know what fluid goes in the rear diff of a 18 terrain. No mention of it in manual at all. Amsoil calls for power steering fluid but cannot find gm documentation anywhere. Strangely the dealership said they didn't know either. Any advice is appreciated.

I have a grizzly that sat for about 4 years. The Carb was all gunked up and it would not run when i got around to running it. I pulled the carb out, cleaned everything up and reassembled it. Now the ATV starts right up and mostly runs fine but we have a new issue. If you go sideways on a slant...

Hey guys, I followed some instructions here on how to flush the fluid in my suburban. I pulled the low pressure line off and had my son turn the wheel back and forth while i kept the tank full. From everything i read, the system should take about three quarts. My line was running pure after...

Hey guys, I recently bought a 12 suburban and took a trip with my family which owns a GMC Sierra truck. Just for fun we monitored different things on the way to the beach and found a few things different. His transmission temp rises way faster than mine and stabilizes as 194 F. Mine stabilizes...

Guys, I bought a 12 suburban 4x4 LTZ. I noticed a clunk in the steering every so often. I think i found the problem. When i grab the boot that connects all the steering components to the steering shaft and yank up and down, there is a lot of play and i can reproduce the sound. I am not familiar...

Guys, Im curious if anyone has an oil pressure gauge on their 2.4L Kia/Hyundai. If so what are your cold / Hot oil pressure readings and associated rpms. I looked thru this site and google and cannot seem to find any numbers other than fuel pressure. My wife and I both have Kia Optimas and I'm...

Guys, I just bought a new saw and it will be delivered by this weekend. I have read many times that they come very lean from the factory and should be adjusted slightly, especially for break in. I have read three , what look to be educated, posts that go thru the procedure but they differ...

Thought i would ask the community here what you all use to back up personal picture, movies ect. It has gotten difficult for my wife and i to keep all our stuff backed up without redundancy so I was thinking about using a Synology box to keep all our stuff on and it automatically keeps things...

i have a 99 suburban that on our trip camping blew what i thought was a heater core. I pulled the hoses off and just bypassed the core so we could continue on our way. Now home, i have the core out and the lines look fine and the core holds air pressure. I can blow on one end and hold my finger...

I wanted to share my experience. I bought a used 2012 optima last week with 40K miles. I have read that the transmission fluid is 100K fluid but others including my dealership recommends doing the change at 30K miles. This weekend i drained the fluid and filled up with proper fluid. The fluid...
