    2012 A/C making weird noises

    My 2012 Honda Civic LX is making noises when the a/c kicks on and off. You can hear it when the engine is idling. Do I need a new compressor or just the clutch system? Is it safe to drive or could it lock up and throw the belt? I am hoping I didn't get any metal debris in the system. I can get a...

    Hit a submerged tree with my boat yesterday

    I hit an underwater tree with my boat yesterday doing about 15 mph or more on the way to wide open under full throttle. Wow, it sounded really bad and my wife and I almost fell out of our seats from the collision. I thought I might have ruined the transom or the engine/lower unit on my 115 hp...

    Range device for AFM disabler

    I just purchased a 2014 Corvette with 22,000 miles and was wondering if the Range AFM disabler makes the engine last longer? I purchased the car in Joplin MO and drove it home and obtained 32.6 miles per gallon because it switches to V4 occasionally. Pros: possible longer engine life? Cons: $200...

    Ok so the 12 year old Lennox furnace was stopping and taking too long to start yesterday and a couple times before that time. So, I filled out a form online that the original installer had. I input my name, address, phone number and email. Within 2 minutes I got a call and they said a repairman...

    Superbox S3 pro tell me your story good, bad, or otherwise

    My son just bought the super box and I am quite impressed with it. Are the ones from Amazon the same as the type that you can buy off the market? I have been told that the ones from Amazon are not the same as the ones you can buy off the market so to speak. What are your thoughts on the super...

    Picture of my little brothers new Rivian

    My little brother purchased a new Rivian and the truck is extremly quick and quiet. The camera's in this truck show the surrounding views almost as if you are looking down in an airplane. The truck also lifts itself with an air and is supposed to go through snow very well with the AWD. He...

    Mom's new mower

    My mom bought a new Cub Cadet with the 24 HP Kohler engine. The kids will use it to mow her small acreage. The old mower was an MTD 24HP Break and Scrapem engine with a whopping 880 hours on the unit which was pretty good I thought. Hopefully the Cub will last that long. The old one was SHOT but...

    Can I use this in a 2007 Mercury 4 stroke outboard?

    It’s a diesel oil Delo 10w 30 blend. Will it hurt as this being a diesel oil? I am sure the weight is just fine for my application and use.

    2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee are Detroit Axle brake pads good?

    Just like the title states. I was wondering if the Detroit Axle brake ceramic brake pads are good. Does anyone recommend another brand that might be better? The Jeep has 71,000 miles and the rotors look great but the brakes are down to about 20% wear remaining. Thoughts please?

    2005 Corvette started to stick in park

    My 2005 Corvette was starting to lock up in park. I read several threads and watched three u-tube videos on how to repair it. To make a long story short I removed the console and cut a small plastic piece that would lock it in park.

    LS2 2005 Corvette MityVac 7201 won't work

    Ok so I buy the MityVac 7201 in high hopes of making an oil change easier on my 2005 Corvette LS2. The smallest hose stops about 4 inches from the bottom of the pan and I cannot drain any oil out at all. I am kind of disappointed and wish I would have known that before I purchased it. The...

    Fumoto valve defective

    I purchased 2 new Fumoto valves. One for my Corvette and another for my Civic. The Civic one won’t even open up. The lever is messed up and won’t work. I am sending it back. I am not too impressed but will keep the one for the Corvette and use it as a test mule.

    2005 Corvette harmonic balancer wobbling 70,000 miles

    Anyone have any input on a harmonic balancer going out on a 2005 Corvette? The car has 70,000 miles and it's sounds like a frequent problem. It seems to me GM should have figured it out long ago how to make a decent product. Are the aftermarket balancers any better and to they have problems with...

    are rebuilt alternators good?

    My Corvette is making a squeaking noise on start up and lately it makes the noise almost all the time. It appears to be the alternator. A rebuilt is about $180.00 with the core trade in. Are the rebuilt alternators any good? I don't really want to pay $400 for a GM one which is shot at 71,000...

    2014 Ford F-150 trans fluid change

    I am having a qualified automatic transmission shop change my synthetic AT Fluid in my Ford F-150. It costs $249.00 and they drain the torque converter too and they use synthetic fluid. The truck has 51,000 miles on it and it shifts great. I think the manual states change at 60,000 miles. Anyone...
