With just a hair under 100k on my wife’s Odyssey, some services are coming due. And parts are showing wear. She recently mentioned a bit of looseness at slow speeds on rough roads, coming from the front left side. I had fixed a right inner tie rod a few months back, but that’s not the issue...

I’d like a trim clip tool like the one used in this TRQ DIY video. I’ve seen some Chinesium ones on Amazon, but what is the real original? Watching the video, the one the TRQ tech is using has more of a taper on the front to slip under the clips. Suggestions?

Post your photos here! We are in about 90% range and a heavy cloud came over right around max coverage. :( These were just handheld iPhone 15 Pro through a filter. DSLR photos later.

Always interested in internet security, but I don’t know a lot. I figure this is specific enough to warrant a separate thread from some of the other router and networking threads. As discussed in some others, I recently bought a Ubiquiti cloud gateway ultra, and put my ASUS router into AP...

No expiration noted. Like most of these things, there is a long list of exclusions in the fine print, but I did use it for a Milwaukee power tool.

Thank goodness BITOG hosts photos natively. Some forums I’m on don’t. And I put relevant stuff into IMGUR hidden directories to link to though BB code/html. I updated the app recently, and now I can’t edit or add to my folders. I get this: It lets me create new folders and put new...

I started smelling a bit of diesel exhaust in my 1991 MB 350SD (200k+ miles) when stopped and idling with hvac on. Sticking my head under with the engine running didn’t result in any signs of exhaust that I could notice. So I pressurized and found some bubbles. These are steel studs in an...

I love JD Cool Gard II in my old diesels. I have it running perfectly successfully in the following: 1996 Dodge Ram Cummins 445k mi 1996 Dodge Ram Cummins 266k mi 1991 MB 350SD 203k mi 1991 MB 300D 233k mi Well, the 350SD had it perfect. No issues. Had the OE plastic radiator. In the...

I’m growing increasingly frustrated using Uber and Lyft. I get the business model, and the demand based pricing. And historically it worked out. But lately, it has just gotten worse and worse. I’m a 4.92 rated rider. I must have a few hundred trips on Uber. That’s not to say I know it all...

I have a 1TB iphone 15 pro, love it. I run a MBP from 2013, 11.7.10 I use my iphone camera a lot. I like to pull the photos off of it onto an external HDD. Until maybe six months ago, Id just connect the phone to the computer, and use image capture to pull the latest photos off. I use my...

Fram ultra. Looks good. Got an endurance or whatever the new one is.

Cut apart a diesel filter from a 1991 MB diesel. It’s a secondary filter, I believe 5um. Clean and looked fine. Definitely had some weird material in the filter area.

Not much to see. I cut these open primarily so I can recycle the steel parts.

This is a Mann+Hummel Napa Platinum that I got at one of the Napa sales back when. This car has only ever seen M1 EP for 14k mile OCIs since I bought it new. I replace the filter each time. Note that bit of glue run over Note that bit of sludge junk in the bottom. And some that was...

Had a Toyota Denso filter from my brother’s 96 FJZ80. This was a 500mi oci with HPL EC, when he got it. I’m glad we started running HDEO in it because there was a bit of sludge in the filter. Engine runs perfect and is otherwise clean.

I just got my hands on an old used SK 91844 set. This set is my favorite for most wrenching, as it’s compact, has a full range of sizes, and works well. The clasps on the blow molded box are both broken. Obviously if it comes open it will be a big mess. I don’t think rubber bands will be...

My 1991 MB 300D 2.5 Turbo has a lifter tick. It’s coming from under there, not the injection pump or anywhere else. The engine runs smooth and perfect. Starts easy in the coldest conditions. Smooth and good for 35MPG+. Engine is clean. Injectors were recently rebalanced and pop pressure...

Our 2014 odyssey has 94k. Original brakes. Never have warped or exhibited the rotor issues that some have complained about. But the pads were due. Not bad for 94k of mostly in town driving. Because of the condition of the rotors, and the fact that they aren’t warped or have funky runout...

I’ll start by saying that I’m generally not a fan of white lithium. It dries out, it gunks up, it’s just not great. I think I have a sticky hood latch on one of my cars. I think I need to spray it out and clean with brake parts cleaner…. Or remove it and soak it… Then regrease or lube...

This kind: Primarily for the removal of screws. I own air and electric square drive impact guns, and I own construction type impact drivers. But this seems to me that it may be good for screws because of the potential for more “straight through” force into the screw and its slot/phillips...
