  1. More storms, little bit of hail, lots of lighting and rain.
  2. $4.50 85 oct.
  3. I'll say again, I have used a lot of different oil filters over the years including fleet filters. Never had a problem.
  4. We got some much needed rain yesterday. Started with a storm which caused a downpour, then gentle rain. 48 degrees this morning.
  5. I'm soon to be 73, I won't worry about things so much.
  6. Over 50 years I have never bought an OEM/ dealer oil filter.
  7. Best answer..................they can.
  8. Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
  9. The cure for facism. https://imgur.com/gallery/cure-fascism-9DH3bHs
  10. I'm looking at carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand and lumbar fusion.
  11. I had a boat for many years, never had a problem even with a 2 wheel drive 93 Silvy for 20 years. Good tires, proper use of the gas pedal worked.
  12. I did shorter OCI"s for many years without an issue, fights sludge and wear IMO. Recently started using Amsoil, will not do the recommended/advertised miles between changes.
  13. She's laughing all the way to the bank.
  14. Heat is the enemy of many things, from automotive fluids too electronics.
  15. We have got a lot of rain lately, we needed it. Storms/lightning took out a floor fan. Dirt roads badly rutted from run off. Power here is sketchy, whole house surge protector in the service panel and all electronics plugged into surge protectors. My biggest concern is my stereo, I've been an audio nut for years. $25 k in equipment. Stereo is on it's own special surge protector.
  16. $4.35 85 oct.
  17. For 2 years doing repairs or maintenance has not easy with my physical issues. Something simple isn't simple any more. Sept. 6 2024 left shoulder 2 rotator cuff tears, bicep torn from bone. Still having issues, pain and dexterity problems left hand. Go to have EMG test on the 27th, second test. I'm left handed. Oct. 3rd 2025 right hand carpal tunnel surgery and ulnar nerve, end of 3 fingers still lack good feeling. Makes it difficult to do things. March 3rd 2026, Cervical fusion, 4 vertebrae. Still have pain in neck and upper back. I put upgraded shocks on our side by side, not hard but it took me over 2 hours. Oil changes are frustrating because nothing works like it used to.
  18. Switch a a 100% synthetic trans fluid, Amsoil works for me.
  19. I have a 2 gal. garden sprayer with Purple Power in it. I clean the engine bay with a cold engine and a garden hose using the spray setting. Done this for years without issue.
  20. The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
  21. Got heavy rain, hail and light rain yesterday.
