I'd have to read the story to see what was being accomplished. I spent a number of years as a gearhead (gaso and diesel) including testing oil for metals due to engine wear and never heard anything in those circles promoting this kind of service. By adding ATF, you've effectively thinned the...

My dad used to tell me stories like that. I'm not sure that "detergent" was ever the issue. Remember that years ago motor oils were not what they are today ... low and no detergent, leaded fuel, single viscosity (20W and 30W), etc. ATF was relatively thin and, as the theory goes, would be...

When I purchased my YJ, it had 4 almost new tires. Good tread and tread pattern and they have gotten me everywhere I needed to go and some places I didn't believe I could get. The question ... they are "P" rated tires (as in passenger). Should I spend the money to get the "LT" tires or wear...

Prayers for mom-in-law, wife, you and her family. Times like these seem bring out the best and worst in people. You are truly a blessing to your family. I learned a long time ago that God never wastes a hurt ... you will be a source of strength to your wife's family BECAUSE of your personal...

That is turning out real nice! My hood has the same look and I wasn't sure if it was a paint quality or engine heat issue. The plan is to install some hood vents, then repaint. Now all I need to find is Rustoleum in my color!

Works great on a Mac running Safari. Safari uses the Mozilla code so Firefox should work as well. Looks like a winner!!

I own Macs and run Safari ... if you post the URL for the RSS feed, I'll see if I can connect!

As a father of two (now 20 and 18) and a youth leader (10 to 18 years old) I have learned that 15 YOs are 15 YOs. LOL

Mine did the same thing about 6 months ago ... the seam on the 1 year old fuel filter had split. It is mounted on the left side frame rail just ahead of the fuel tank.

Creating a successful athletic program is not so difficult ... creating the consistancy over time is what seperates the "powerhouse" programs from the others. You need administrators, coaches and parents to keep that tradition of excellence alive. When I was in high school (my school bus was a...

red93 ... great story. Thanks for sharing!!

So true ... as a parent it is difficult to sit on your hands sometimes. I'm always amazed at the pressure the kids feel WITHOUT any from their own folks ... internal competitiveness, teammates, peers, coaches (sometimes), other parents (don't get me started), etc. That is why I always...

After reading TC's post on his son's wrestling prowess, it got me thinking ... there are a lot of proud dads and moms, brothers and sisters out there. There are a lot of exceptional people doing some amazing things. Maybe we should start a thread to celebrate those accomplishments and keep...

Good for him and good for you as an AVID supporter. ALL of you dads or moms, never apologize for braggin' on your kids. I've worked with a lot of young men and women over the last 10 years (I am a Boy Scout and Venturing leader) and find myself and other adult leaders as the only "parental"...

I've been out of the WinOS loop for a few years (running a Mac now), but I'm trying to piece together what I used to do in this case. On my old PC (yes, I still have and USE it) it was necessary to boot to the ROM BIOS and change the "boot order", otherwise it would first look to C:\ regardless...

The ONLY thing better than the "new car" smell is the "new baby" smell. A big CONGRATS from a dad of two, whose "babies" are now 20 and 18. For the record, if you do it right, they are always your babies ... just don't tell them. shhhhhh.

WASN'T MUCH OF A PRESIDENT?! Sparky-Watts, what are you thinking? The Gerald Ford I recall came to power at a time when the people's faith in their government was at an all-time low. Viet Nam, Watergate, Spiro Agnew, Richard Nixon, relations at an all-time low with the USSR (remember them?)...

Having spent some time in cold climates, let me chime in with some recommendations ... 1 - Don't toss the battery yet as it will need to be charged fully before it's true condition is known. If it needs replacing, then ... 2 - Measure the battery tray (lxw) and height to hood (h) then get the...

Improving air flow efficiency (in and out) is always good, I just never could see spending the money for 5% here and 10% there at 5400 RPM ... BUT! ... if it needed to be replaced that was WAY COOL! My only thought was your comment about disconnecting your O2 sensor. When mine failed, it...

Be careful with the "modifications" you make to your engine and emission controls. Anything that allows more fuel into the engine, intentional or not, puts more fuel into the exhaust and THAT negatively affects the catalytic converter. To pass the bi-annual SMOG test, I just replaced my cat as...
