    2006 Trailblazer ac issues

    2006 TB short wheelbase, 270,000km, 4.2L without the auto climate control. Just manual temp control dual zone. Back in May we found that the ac was not pumping cold. Electro-mechanical fan is engaging, took it for a drive to get airflow over the condenser with no change. I found the ac...

    Hydrau XR

    I have to pick up some more hydraulic oil for the John Deere 318G skid steer. I've powered a few attachments and of course one has the propensity to leak. Now I'm no fan of of JD or their prices... for instance a 30$ oil filter made in the quangdong region of China. From what I gather its an...

    Tire chains

    This is just a general shout out as I'm looking at chains for the skid steer. I have no clue what brands to even look at. So much of everything is commie block garbage and I prefer something decent. Any opinions? Thanks!

    I don't have a problem...

    I don't have a problem, I can stop at any time..... I just don't want to. Thats my story thus far. Met a really nice fellow enthusiast today and picked up a rough parts sled (complete enough I may get it running) and real nice runner. He had restored it many years ago but used as a trail sled...

    New firearms volume 1 of many..

    So I received several old and/or unique firearms. I am slowly going through a couple at a time. All are .22 cal. The first is the Belgian made Browning T Bolt. Its an X7 date code so that might be a 1967. There are a couple scratches on the stock but not bad enough that I couldn't steam them...

    Cooper Rugged Trek

    Hey guys just looking for any experience with this tire, that and the Discoverer AT3 XLT. I am replacing the burnt out Duratracs (got just shy of 4 years, 80,000km) on my 3500. 275 70 18. While the Duratracs were great, they have increased more than 100$ a tire and quite frankly are ridiculously...

    Polaris atv hub and strut seals

    So my 2000 polaris magnum is in need of some seals. The strut seals on one side are seeping a bit now but may as well redo all of them. Other than polaris oem, any other brands people recommend?

    6.7 Cummins P0111

    So a bit of a back story. 2017 ram 3500, ISB6.7, 106,000km. Its been deleted since 100k. So please bare with me. A couple weeks back it threw P0111, which indicates issues with the IAT sensor which is mounted on the air box. Pulled the sensor, it looked just fine, clean and provided...

    Remington 550-1

    Just a thread starter. For no other reason than to talk. So my dad tells me he traded his Cooey bolt action repeater off for thjs rifle. He figures it was 1955 and he was 12. This was in a little general store in Quinton, Sask. I know it was the very late '90's and the store was still open to...

    ATP B463

    just some info for anyone with the AS69RC transmission in Ram HD pickups. I had priced out the factory, Denso made filter at various dealers and found them ridiculously overpriced at 120$. The warranty maintenance schedule requires a new filter every 96,000km. Not a bad thing but I hate getting...

    2000 Polaris Magnum 500 project

    my wife picked up a little project for the acreage today. Higher mileage unit with winch and stout snow blade. So I got a few questions. I am not worried about using Polaris spec fluids, other than a litre of chain case oil and a small bottle for the hubs that came with it (nearest dealer is at...

    Husqvarna 32r project

    So I got this old thing that seems to be passed down from person to person. An old buddy had it for years, gave it to some neighbor because it wouldnt run. Then that guy couldn't get it running and gave it to another guy who gave it to me. It leaked fuel, needed a spark plug but overall it...

    Rototiller buying advice

    Well gents, looking for some buying advice on a rear tine tiller. The biggest need is to tear up sod to start a large garden plot. I will be putting it to some hard use, not that our soil is rocky. Looking at 16 to 18" width. Not sure what is really a good brand to even look at since most...

    Snowmobile voltage output

    Decided to just start a new thread on the slow progress of my vintage 1974 OMC sleds. I recently switched in some insulated/resisted plugs, which allowed me to test the voltage output at the battery while running. Previously the interference was shutting down my multimeter. Anyway, while idling...

    Fun test drive...

    Pictures to follow. Well, I was at a staff party the other day and one of my buddies rolls up in an red 1995 F250. He is a Ford guy and is currently running a 2019 F350. So he got wind of an old, local farmer that had a garaged F250. Its a nice, straight long box extended cab, 7.3, 4x4 and 5...

    Troy Bilt TB590EC fuel issue +review

    Alright, I was wondering how long it would take before I was posting issues about this new trimmer. Caveat before I begin. I bought this trimmer/brush cutter knowing full well it was cheap, under no illusion it was the end all, be all. I originally was looking at the Husky 525LK powerhead and...

    2013 F250, 6.7L. Trans and transfer case

    Just helping my buddy out on his truck. As title says, it has the diesel which is coupled to the 6R140. He has 130,000km or so. Bought used at 30,000km. On a side note, it's a shining example that a truck that is never garaged can survive on Rotella T 15w40, Wix oil/fuel filters and no fuel...

    Questions on Johnson Golden Ghost and Quietflite sleds

    So I have these two sleds sitting in my storage shed. My wife's grandfather bought them new in 1974. Golden Ghost and Evinrude Quietflite. They have been sitting for several years as they needed batteries, ignition switches and the fuel system cleaned out. Sleds are in good shape, 90% complete...

    Trailblazer front sway bar links

    Finally did the fronts today. It was overcast but hit 0 C!!!! Total time is 3 hours from set up to test drive. Like the rears, I used ACDelco professional links and ACDelco blue sway bar bushings. The links were pumped up with the purple Amsoil #2 lithium. It was a 50/50 day as I had to cut half...

    Chev Trailblazer rear swaybar endlinks

    Just a basic write up, should have taken some more pictures... Was a great day, finally warm, -7C, little wind and sunny. Total time was around the 3.5 hour mark, set up to cleanup. I lost maybe 30 minutes wandering around looking for specific tools. Now I had been getting a clunk from the rear...
