I think the speculators are whipped up into a frenzy right now. I see articles predicting $100.

The 02 suburban has snappier shifts. B&M trick shift is supposed to be type F with blue dye.

Maybe a bag of potato chips.

02 suburban transmission started slipping on the highway. The oil level wasn't even touching the dipstick. Common problem is the seal between the transmission and transfer case is shot allowing all the fluid to go into the tc. But if you keep adding to the transmission you'll reach some...

I had a milky looking oil on the dipstick this morning. After about an hour of driving around I checked it again and its clear as a bell. It's supertech hd30. I've run other oils that don't clear up. I guess some additives bind with the water? I'm going to have to run the car every day to keep...

I picked up a decent looking chainsaw at the dump. It looks to have some spark looking at the plug grounded to the head, but wont even pop at all trying to start it on starting fluid sprayed into the plug hole and into the carb. I'm confounded. The only thing I can think of is the magneto...

Which oil would you choose to leave in forever. I put 40wt redline in the 75 vette several years ago and plan to leave it. I have $2 valvoline 5w20 in the old 84 suburban and Mobil 1 sale oil in the 02 suburban. I plan to continue to change the 08 mustangs oil every couple of years. I have to...

I removed a hub from the vette that has not been repacked for about 15 years and the grease is of a clay like consistency. I don't see how any of this extra grease is helping anything. I thought the objective is to have the extra grease in the hub flow into the bearings by gravity and...

I stopped at harbor freight yesterday on the way to the car show and picked up a drillmaster variable speed buffer on coupon for $29 and a black pad. After using it today I probably won't mess with a random orbital again when this knocks out a panel in 2 minutes. It does get hot but I'm putting...

I know they recommend a non detergent oil for water pump bearing lube because of persistent water intrusion. So on an engine that has the same issue of persistent small amounts of coolant intrusion, what if anything can I do. Non detergent oil apparently has no wear additives either. Is this...

I think it would be neat to get a collection of different car sounds. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1e3TPyUaii4 http://vocaroo.com/i/s07JBeKKiN2w I recorded these today on the way to the car show with my cell phone. I'm disappointed that it doesn't sound that great. Inside the cockpit it's crazy...

We've had conversations before on this subject. I'd been mildly convinced that its the thing to do. But looking around I see roller kits are still around a 1000 bucks vs just a hair over 100 bucks for a flat tappet package. I'm back to my original philosophy and thinking on this. I think there...

I'm thinking about some silicone spray to soften and swell the rubber. Some sprayed periodically on the outside then some inside

These are used to repair damaged and seal-grooved shafts. I don't know what I'll find when I take the diff yoke off, but went ahead and ordered one anyway. Even if the surface is smooth, I like the idea of slightly increasing shaft size to get a bit tighter seal fit. They're relatively...

How many have had their car totaled and got a CCC actual cash value report. I'm curious how many comparable cars were listed. Nothing about this CCC report is transparent. It's a secrete service that only insurance companies can access.

There are "meat and potatoes" eaters who've never downed a raw oyster in their lives. Then there are a subset of the "meat and potatoe eaters" who need their steaks cooked to eliminate any signs of blood. From time to time I overcook mine to medium rare and it tastes like a heated dishrag. I...

I've been detailing the trans am to prepare for appraisal and have been trying various meguiars professional products, 105,205,#9 and #7. The number 7 is dramatic. I decided to try it on my other cars and ive never seen them look better. This stuff is supposed to be just some simple oils to...

I painted my vette with flame red dupont lacquer a long time ago. Since then i stripped and repainted it dupont bb/cc with glamour clear, then years later went over that with House of Kolor uc-35 with pearl. Then laid down a foundation for kandy several years ago and never finished it. I've...

I'm thinking this can wait until next summer right before inspection time in July.
