    Wiper Fluid Gone Bad?

    Strange. Usually it never sits on my shelf long at all. My wife goes through washer fluid like crazy. But, it was an opened bottle.

    Wiper Fluid Gone Bad?

    I wrote them and they quickly responded saying they were sorry for my troubles and included a $10 Coupon for any Peak product. They also said they could investigate further if I sent them pictures. So I'll do that. Other than a lab actually looking at it I don't know what they can tell me. But I...

    Wiper Fluid Gone Bad?

    Yeah I called it alien spores and told my wife and grandson they HAD to come see it. My grandson was saying "It's not going to latch onto my face is it?" I totally believe it's plant spores mutating into mold. I pumped the reservoir and I believe I got the nasty stuff out. Looks like about the...

    Wiper Fluid Gone Bad?

    No! I'm the only one that deals with this stuff. It's "plant based" and these alien pods have a nucleus! There's no smell to it and the fliud has no feel to my fingers. Check these pics out! Old World Industries......mmwooohhhaaa haaaa!

    Wiper Fluid Gone Bad?

    Well it's Summer blend so I don't think there's alchohol in it. I'll have to check. Whenever I only have Summer blend and it's winter I'll throw cup of alchohol in a gallon but I don't believe this was the case. Ill send photos in a bit and update.

    Wiper Fluid Gone Bad?

    This morning my wife goes out to take our granddaughter to school and from the Yukon texts me asking if we have any wiper fluid. I open the garage and grab a half full bottle of Peak Summer blend off the shelf and start pouring it in. A big black gob came out! I stopped immediately and looked...

    I'm about done...

    Didn't your mechanic have to drop the Transfer Case in order to replace the back half? If it were me, and I did this, I'd have the TC rebuilt while it was out. Also if I were under that vehicle and saw transmission fluid all over I would have checked the pan bolts. Very common for them to...

    Sharp Edges Under Hood

    Looks like Trimlok saves the day again! Or the arm in this case. I usually put a mat down anyways.

    Charging Battery

    I'm a little late on this but I would have told you to just bend the bracket out a bit. You still may want to do that.

    Who's the ass that did this??

    Thousands more? WTF is wrong with people. Clearly another point for why I like animals more than humans! Well some humans I like, but overall. And the poor dog is soo faithful it doesn't know what a POS it's human is. Too bad too because that dog would die for him. I can't zoom the plate but...

    Bikes...What's You Got/Ride

    Okay, I'll play. '04 Black FLSTCI is mine and the '93 Red FXDL is the wife's. Been riding for 56 years now! Well, me anyways. The wife was riding dirt bikes when she was 8 yrs old and been riding Harley's with me for 30 years now. Grandkids think we're cool anyways.

    Does any use a Fumoto oil pan drain valve?

    That's an interesting design. I can see it in some applications. On others, no. I like the Fumoto for it's ability to immediately stop the flow with a flick of the lever. On my truck for example, I use one gallon jugs. I'd be leary of twisting the hose/connector to stop it quickly.

    Does any use a Fumoto oil pan drain valve?

    No it's just a secondary almost redundant "safety". Since the lever is spring loaded and catches in a groove, it takes a good amount of pressure to push it out so it can be rotated into the open position. The little plastic lock just makes it impossible to push the lever out to rotate it.

    Does any use a Fumoto oil pan drain valve?

    Big fan of Fumoto Valves. Never been easier and cleaner draining oil. I had to replace the little plastic lock on one because it broke when I removed once but it wasn't costly and easy to get. What can be easier than flipping a little lever?

    How much weight does a floor jack need to support a 1999 Tahoe?

    Not how I'd like to go. Had a friend drop a cast iron 4 spd trans on his chest. Broken sternum is no fun. Neither is being crushed to death. I always have double redundancy where I'm at. Either another jack stand, the floor jack, or large dunnage like lumber.

    How much weight does a floor jack need to support a 1999 Tahoe?

    Just be safe. My Auto Shop teacher made us try to shake a vehicle off the jack stands before we went under. If you can't, it's safe.

    2003 Chevy Tahoe- Transmission Fluid Change

    Too late now, but If you pulled the pan and changed the filter you'd be able to see how dirty/clogged up it was. I was able to get my deep pan off my '04 Yukon without loosening the D Side exhaust. Just the P Side. Pry bar to press the pipe over is all it took. And removal of the linkage to...

    Inexpensive obdII scanner

    There will be lots of scanners for under $100. But, I seriously doubt you will find a bidirectional in that price range. You should probably educate yourself on Diagnostic Readers. Google is great for finding groups or people that have gathered that information already and done the comparisons...

    Tapping noise in the morning

    I am just wondering if you see a correlation. Watch the oil pressure gauge when you start it. If it quiets down when the pressure comes up it's most likely a lifter. But there's also a chance a different, slightly thicker oil would work better. And lastly, your oil filter anti drain back valve...

    Does the sound go away when your oil pressure gauge comes up? Hopefully to about 40 psi...

    Looking for Testimonials Re: HM Oil

    Thanks again, Alex! Just fyi, in 30+ years of using Fram I've never seen a failure.

    Looking for Testimonials Re: HM Oil

    Thanks Alex, that's good information and pretty much the same thoughts on the larger filter. I use the larger filter on my 30 yr old Harley Dyna LowRider for the same reason, "why not". I watched some videos on the deconstruction of the AC Delco "e" type filters and they really don't seem bad...
