    Hemi plug change - plug covered in oil

    Changed the plugs in my 2010 jeep today and noticed one of the plugs was covered in oil and soot. The plug wasnt even finger tight, which was very odd. Can the fact that it was so loose be the reason for all the oil or am i looking into replacing the valve cover gasket? The second plug in this...

    Coolant change Interval

    Thanks Eddie. Yes, this one is 5 yrs 100K miles. I'm just wondering since I'm doing the radiator only, whether more frequent changes r needed.

    Coolant change Interval

    Hi all, 2010 5.7 commander here. Did a radiator dump and refill in 2014 and again in 2015. Was about to do it again but started wondering whether it's overkill. Do I do it or wait another yr? Using mopar long life coolant. Thanks in advance.

    Coolant change question

    so the heat stays off but the dial is turned to max heat? There are no fluctuations in the temp gauge. The heat just blows hotter when the accelerator is pressed and returns to very warm/hot when released.

    Coolant change question

    Did a drain and refill on the radiator last night. Opened the bleed screw until I saw coolant. Let the motor run (I have a lisle funnel) until the tstat opened and it pretty much stopped burping. The heat took a bit longer than usual to get hot. What’s got me a bit worried is that once I press...

    Turning in a lease

    I've actually heard of #2, especially if the value of the car at the moment it is turned in is higher than the residual value.. THe new dealer simply buys the car out. Also yes, some companies will negotiate the buyout price. You can easily make a phone call and ask.

    Ultra gone

    So Pennzoil ultra has pretty much disappeared from stores here in NY. Is anyone aware of any websites (other than Amazon) where it can be purchased at a reasonable price? Walmart wont even sell it online anymore. Thanks in advance

    coolant mix

    Dumb question, I know. Still gotta ask. Changed the coolant in the truck today. When refilling, I first dumped a gallon of water in the bucket and then a gallon of coolant. Without letting it sit much I poured about half info the radiator. How fast does this stuff mix? I'm concerned now that I...

    Radiator Drain/Refill

    just purchased the funnel. Thanks guys. thinking about it, ill probably have to do this with the back higher than the front. I have a sloping driveway and, on order to get to the drain plug, will back the truck up the driveway and then drive the front wheels up on a set of ramps. The back will...

    Radiator Drain/Refill

    So I am planning on draining and refilling my radiator. Someone suggested I elevate the rear of the truck a bit when draining so that more coolant comes out (I don’t want to mess with taking off the hoses). Does it make sense or are there negatives to do doing that? Should I do the opposite...

    Lab results after running with no air filter

    thanks guys. I looked through a bunch of Hemi UOAs and they all indeed returned high copper numbers, so I'm not concerned. 21PPM of iron at only 1000 miles is a bit worrisome but I'll attribute that to prolonged break-in for now and the fact that its a hemi. in addition, the fact that I take so...
