Looking for your advice bitog pros. I’ve noticed a few times upon electric parking brake disengagement “brake” light would flash a few times and go away. Finally got to run the diagnostics and it came back with DTC U3003-16 (see below). Am I wrong assuming the likely root cause is the low...

Looking to replace Cooper Endeavor tires on my Civic (only 30k miles on them but worn close to the wear marks) and wonder if anyone has first hand experience with these tires on a sedan. I'm loving Defenders LTX on my Pilot but would like to know how this particular model is. For context, live...

Had an AC tech over today and he suggested that I can swap my old 3.5t Lennox condenser (10yrs old) with a bigger 4t and it should help with house cooling. Evaporator is Trane and 2yrs old. Question is if they are compatible and can be matched? Also, assuming duct work is sufficient, will upping...

Headed to Florida tomorrow (600mi one way) from Texas and was poking under the hood checking fluids and everything. Couple of things I’ve noticed, and not sure how long they were present. 1. Some sweating on the accessories belt tensioner, not sure if it’s hydraulic, but sweating is present. 2...

Below is the latest UOA on my Civic. I've been running 5w30 PP for a couple of years now, usually changing at 3-3.5k mi intervals. Two tanks prior to the sample collection/oil change were Premium gas and 200mi drive. Note, all 4 prior test results was Amsoil SS 5w30.

I’m in KSA right now, and got an Uber from airport, Honda Accord with 750k km on the clock. I asked the driver if he’s the first owner and if it still has original motor and transmission, he confirmed they are. Unfortunately, I don’t speak Arabic and he doesn’t speak much of an English, so...

Below is the UOA results for my '16 Pilot. I haven't had the UOA done for quite some time, but after noticing rattling/knocking sounds (i think I've been hearing them for 2-3 years now but haven't been paying attention) at low rpm/load, I've decided to go ahead and get the oil tested. Oil in use...

Can you guys share your experience with rotor/pads sold at either store? Specifically for SUV application (Honda Pilot and such). It looks like cost wise ordering from RockAuto is no longer beneficial, and I was thinking of buying these items from my local store. Thanks y’all

Help me out guys. I’ve been hearing this knocking/ratcheting kinda noise for quite some time now, but couldn’t really pinpoint the circumstances it occurs at. Looks like on light gas pedal tap (below 1,500 rpm) it becomes apparent, like something is flapping around/knocking. Don’t hear it...

Hey guys, I was investigating the clutch squeak today and noticed that dust boot on the shift fork is partially torn. Does anyone have experience replacing it? I don't really know how long it's been torn for and how much dust/dirt actually got into the housing. Am i on the hook for clutch case...

Hello folks. I’m currently at 28k miles on Amsoil MTF (70k miles total on the clock), and wonder when should I schedule another transmission fluid change. It still shifts nicely, and I know Amsoil recommends 50k miles interval, although wonder what other owners do on theirs manual transmission...

Couple of weeks ago I posted asking about Traeger experiences, and finally decided to buy one. Traeger Pro 780 was the one I’ve decided to pull the trigger on. Looked up my local HD inventory, available in stock with next day delivery. Good stuff, order placed on Friday, delivery next day on...

Looking to get into pellet grills and wonder if anyone had experience with this model. I’m particularly interested in the size, is that enough? But that I mean, is it big enough to fit in 15lbs brisket? How was y’all’s experience with the traeger in general? Reliability, ease of use etc

I’m at 6yrs and 67k miles on the clock with my civic, and thinking whether plugs need to be changed. No issues with idle, same mpg as I’ve always been getting. Should I get them changed anyways? Full disclosure, even though I do all maintenance myself (brakes, fluids etc) - spark plugs is...

I’ve installed the ATF cooler on my ‘16 Pilot a little less than 3yrs ago, and was planning to swap the external ATF filter as well. Cooler install wasn’t as smooth as I thought it would, filter bracket was pain in the rear to remove so I’ve decided to do it at a later time. 3yrs later, I’m...

This is happening again. Temperatures are expected to drop to 15s here up north of Houston. I wouldn’t be as worried, but going out of town for a few days tomorrow. Trying to figure out what to do with the water. Cut it off (shut off valve is in the garage) and drain all faucets? My water heater...

Booked a car in Aspen few days ago. Checked the prices for the same car same days today, price dropped dramatically from 130$ to 45$/day. Went ahead and booked it, cancelled original booking. New booking confirmed. Checked the prices few hours later, and they are back to where they were before...

A friend of mine moved earlier this year from Houston area to Bakersfield for work and inviting me to visit him with the family for Christmas. I've never done a road trip to west coast in close to 10 yrs we've lived in US. Can you guys advise me on the sightseeing that is a must on the way...

So...I'm working overseas at the moment, and my wife called me stating the garage door won't close. With all the symptoms she described I figured it most likely needs position calibration, happened before. She's not very tech savvy and with three kids on hand I've decided to go ahead and...

The other day, noticed some "sweating" going on the passenger front shock absorber, took the car in to the Honda dealership (still have around 9months left of Honda Care contract), and they have concluded it needs to be replaced along with the swaybar link (grease coming out of the top joint)...
