    Lexus 3L V6 - room for XG3600 ??

    I just got a nice older Lexus RX300 with the 3L V6. I see it's recommended to use Fram **3614. But that is short filter. Is there room to spin on a 3600 ??

    16" Wheels on 09 Lexus RX 350 ...

    I'm shopping for a Lexus RX 350. Prolly get an 08 or 09 as I prefer the layout of the interior/dash on that model. It will be daily driver with OEM wheels and recommended tires, maybe +1 ... But occasionally it will have to go off-road. I made my living doing OHV trail assessments and erosion...

    Ain't stupid, but can't find Cummins History

    I can find a history of the Cummins Engine Company. But not a history of their engines by model number and year ... I'd think it's be out there? But, I must be searching wrong ... Mostly interested in OTR engines, but AG and Industrial too. Any help out there?

    Best all purpose bike in your fleet ...

    For me it was my aluminum framed Trek 6000 that did trails and road rides and around town stuff: Trek But it may be being pushed aside by a 1999 K2 (prolly a 4000 ..., no markings) aluminum framed FS bike with carbon rear swing arm that is like driving a Cadillac (from yesteryear). Marzocchi...

    Cheap rotors are warping in week or so. Need good long lasting front rotors. Have new OEM pads. Brakes are good. No dragging, etc. Just need rotors that will not warp easily?

    Any Honda PC800 "Pacific Coast" riders here?

    OK, back to the old'ish days - 283 PCV

    So I have a little 283 project in the shop. Was topped with 601 heads at nigh on to 10:1, but that's too steep for local pump gas, and not conducive to maybe going into a CJ ... So I have some bigger chamber vortec heads that will drop the CR nicely and create swirl But I also have some nice...

    Mystic JT8 bummer ...

    Seems Tractor Supply Co (TSC) has stopped carrying Mystic oils and now gone to mainstream stuff like Rotella, Delo, etc. I really liked JT8 for cars and trucks. Smooth, quiet, durable (little loss of idle oil pressure for many thousands of mile) and was easy to get. Now I have to go to Turloc to...

    Ned help with obscure part - Ford ...

    My trusty old 1988 Big Bronco was running poorly and would not go over the local hills very well. So before I pushed it out the door, I decided to try some things. Local indy shop is pretty good and they tried to find the issue ... Just off idle, it would miss and surge. Above about 1/8th...

    M1 effectiveness ...

    I'm curious about who has gotten really good longevity from a vehicle on M1 ... Anyone cross the 300,000 mile mark on M1? Anyone cross the 400,000 mile mark on M1? If so, what vehicle and engine? What OCI did you use? Favorite filter? The details may mean something to long lasting runners

    Well I've done it again, now what ...

    I'm getting older and Pop will pass soon. So I'm the "leader" of the remaining generation. As such, I have no need of five vehicles, three bikes, two boats and who knows what else. They were the "tools" of a previous life with long'ish highway commutes, etc. So my wife and I are starting to...

    What to do - from XP ...

    Have a number of PC's still running XP Pro. Mostly because they are running older paid for software like full copies of Office, A-CAD, etc. I know that MicroSoft is still secretly maintaining XP becasue of embedded code in ATM's and other hard coded systems. Guess that's why it has worked so...
