    CV Joint

    I was under an F-150 that had a ziptie around a boot for the steering rack and it was moving on and off freely.

    Too much Oil

    I hate dipsticks that show two ranges. What does the manual refer to as "safe?" The area labelled as such or the two dots? I think if I pulled that dipstick out without any other info I would think it was overfilled.

    Ford Fiesta: worth the gamble?

    My father bought a 2009 cobalt manual new in 2009 for 10 grand. We got 200,000 miles and 10 years out of it before the rust killed it. Motor and transmission were in as good of shape as ever, it seemed. If that car is simple and it doesn't get abused, it'll probably end up being a workhorse and...

    Khabib Nurmagomedov 28-0

    Big Khabib fan here too. He didn't really look like he was a class act after the Conor fight haha. I got Tony with the upset, if they ever fight.

    Looks like Glock listened to their customers

    Ah I see. Must have been for prying stuck magazines. Make a trade my friend!

    Looks like Glock listened to their customers

    By front grip cut out, are you referring to finger grooves? I'm yet to try a gen 5. I'm happy with my gen 4s. Also did not have an issue with gen 3. Just curious, what makes you unhappy with the gen 5? If you're unhappy with a gen 5, you can't go wrong with an older model.

    Super tech Mercon V?

    Drove Several Mid-Size Trucks

    My father has a 2017 Tacoma. Loves it, says its the best vehicle he has owned. I get very frustrated driving it, I can't stand how lazy that transmission is. I imagine a manual would be make this truck a lot better. I drove a 2018 Pro 4x Frontier with the 5 speed auto very briefly. I thought...

    Change from 5w30 for colder months?

    I use 5W-30 conventional and have had no issues in the winter in Maine. Starts around -20F are not uncommon.

    2019 Rav 4 hybrid mini review

    I recently drove the non hybrid as a rental for two weeks. With the exception of a somewhat jolty downshift if you rolled a stopsign, the car was fantastic.

    How to use dielectric grease ?

    I would say "on top." Dad would say "it don't matter." Grampy would say "what's dielectric grease?"

    Ford knew Focus, Fiesta models had flawed transmission, sold them anyway

    My girlfriend bought one on these recently (without my consent, though I must admit I knew nothing of the issue at the time). Just had to get the clutches and input shaft seal replaced, just missed the extended warranty, but did get the TCM replaced for free as the extended warranty on this part...

    Rusting Sig P365

    Every Sig I own gets rust in a lot of places. I have to keep one of the slides wet with oil it seems to keep rust from showing up. How do you like the P365?

    Castrol edge 0w30 euro formula - comparable to the old stuff?

    From what I recall from years ago, they are practically the same. One is just above 12 cst (in the XW-30 range) and one is just below 13 cst (in the XW-40 range). The 0W-30 is SL rated and the 0W-40 is SN rated. From what I recall, the additive packs are similar (or the same) and the XW-40 faces...

    Engine oil price and your selection.

    Yes, I'd use something different. What I'd use, I don't know. Currently using ST oil and filters that meet spec and changing at the manufacturer's recommended interval. Boring, I know. I'm very confident all of the cars I service will have rusted away long before I have any oil related issue.

    Ford PowerShift

    Update: Contacted Ford multiple times. No help with clutches/input shaft seal repair. Ended up going to a dealer in Canada. TCM replaced for free as it was still under extended warranty (10 years for this, 7 years for clutches/input shaft seal). Came out to $1100 Canadian. Much much less than...
