I've got Bilsteins on the 5.0 and lock nuts were provided for the three locations on top of the shock tower. Stock nuts were flange nuts and you can see there is a lot more contact area to the tower and they might be a tiny bit taller, too (can't remember), ie: more threads. I checked the...

For me, hands down Rush. Neil Peart was a master lyricist, extremely well read and some of his lines have made me rethink or adopt a new way of looking at things. Let alone the stories that are told.

The irrigation controller, an older Rainbird ISA 408, blew its fuse which I replaced. It blew again and according to the trouble shooting section in the manual, it points to 1)a short between "the" valve and timer (I think they meant "valves") or 2)a shorted solenoid on one of the valves. I...

I have a 22 year old Honda mower, HRT216SDA, with a GCV160 engine. A couple of weeks ago I got a little to overzealous with cleaning it (taking carb off) and when it was all back together, it would surge every two seconds. Started watching videos and got it back running this morning! These...

I brought my PC back from sleep this morning, everything normal (used all yesterday, no issues, too). Clicked on Google to start surfing and it froze. I waited a few minutes and the homepage was still frozen. Its done this a few times in the past and hitting the tower rest button solved the...

There are a few songs where I enjoy, after playing it through, going back to around the one minute mark and listening to the last minute again...and again. Sometimes I do it without listening to the whole song. Anyone else do this? Here are three "last minutes" which I have probably played the...

Has anyone had a substantial increase in spam calls the last three days? I've had over 50 since 7:15am on the 27th! Four already this morning. I would normally only get a few a day if I'm lucky with an occasional zero call day. I went through the numbers and there was only one that called twice...

Got home today and turned on the PC (was off, not asleep which was odd). The monitor didn't come on. I used it last night without a hint of anything wrong. Everything else attached to the strip did come on, though. Hit power button, unplugged cord and switched socket on the strip...nothing. Its...

Saw this today and was in tears! I set the video to start at 17:48 and it goes for about 25 seconds.

We have all thought about the best lead guitar solos, drum playing, etc., but what about a great bass performance? Here are two that I like:

Considering the amount of vehicles using ULV between Ford and GM, you'd think there would be more of a market. Motorcraft, Valvoline, Klondike (?), Ravenol (lower vis at 3.3 than the Ford 4.8) put out products. Other companies say ULV, but still are in the LV range, not ULV. Redline says there...

After a company has done a service for you, how do you feel about them asking for a "5 star review" instead of just a "review"? Recently I had a new A/C-gas pack installed (19 yo and the blower motor was going bad). A family owned business did a service a couple years ago and I felt like they'd...

The router is an Asus RT-N66u so it is an old unit, but up until about maybe two months ago seemed to be working great. I have cable internet at 150/10 and I bypassed the router to check the speed which was ~180/12, which I would get even going through the unit. Just checked the cables (modem to...

I randomly received the two lower bills this year. One being the silver note and the other a shrunken one. I'm guessing the silver one might have been stolen and used as regular currency and the other might have been put through a high heat dryer. I've never had bills like this in making change...

I was just about to get the TW Graphene spray until I saw this video. It seems like companies are still trying to figure out how to get the graphene to lay flat and not have EXTREMELY tiny clumps which as you can see at around the 20 minute mark, it doesn't make for a super slick surface...

I got back on the computer around 7:30 last night after being off and on throughout the day and found I had ~ 450 emails. I'd been off it for about 2 hours. Deleted and blocked all of them. I just got on about 15 minutes ago and I've got another wave hitting. 2-5 every minute! Somehow, some spam...

This is the first UOA for the 5.0 since I bought it. I didn't bother with the oil that was in the car since I had zero info on all the details. As the title says, M1 5w30 with 4250 mile on the oil. Mostly to and from work, a couple small road trips, and the very occasional quick acceleration...

I took my Gary Fisher Mt.Tam (polished aluminum, no paint) in for its first checkup since I bought it in the late 90s. I haven't ridden it much and its pretty much been great since I don't really change gears with how I ride...mostly sidewalks and flat terrain. Still has the original tires...

A friend told me about this a couple days ago and sent a map showing the route that would be taken. The formation flew over many hospitals to honor the staff. The map showed that it would come somewhere near my place. So I waited outside, in the 100* heat to see if I could get a glimpse as they...

Seems like some of us are finally doing things that needed to be done quite a while ago. I had to replace the water heater about 5-6 years ago and have a Bradford White Defender with the swirl feature to help prevent buildup. Well, the heater has been banging and popping for a quite a few...
