    Catastrophic Engine Failure

    Glad you got it back and going! Just an FYI for people considering extended warranty coverage, if you use Geico insurance they offer mechanical/drivetrain breakdown coverage also. I keep it on the wife's Fusion because she ran it out of factory warranty so quickly. (96K mi. in 2 yrs.) It's $25...

    First Impressions of Red Line oil change

    So my question would be are you doing UOA's? That's the way to find out how things are going in there and how a certain oil performs. Just you thinking it's smoother is kinda subjective.

    K&N drop in air filter and my MPG's

    JMO, but at the end of the day they are an oily rag trapped between 2 screens correct? I like the idea of a dry, washable synthetic myself but that's just my opinion. Everybody has one.

    Rear brake rebuild almost done, now this...

    Used to be pretty common to take a skim cut on new shoes on the grinder to get them to fit with new drums and to true them up.

    Synthetic Motor Oil Poll 2017

    So I wonder how many folks have had an engine failure that can be directly attributed to the brand of oil they were using? My guess would be not very many, if any. I think if you use any brand that meets manufacturers spec and weight and use reasonable change intervals you won't notice a dimes...

    Justification of truck payment.....

    Just my opinion... there is no justification for making payments on a vehicle. Not saying I haven't done it because I have many years ago. Then I decided it was a losing proposition and worked my ass off to pay it off early and kept working working my ass off to have the funds to enable myself...
