Hope y'all have a great Christmas! We got 6" of wet snow between 7pm and 11pm last night, currently 18° glad we had our family get together yesterday between 4-7pm.

Running ATF in the crankcase should only be short term to help clean things. Personally I wouldn't be afraid to use 10w30 in an engine with that many miles but I wouldn't use 20w50. I had to replace the lifters on the XJ [4.0] I used to have to quieten it down and it didn't have near that many...

Were they able to reattach his finger? One of the nurses told me her uncle lost a finger in a saw accident. When he got to the ER a nurse told him someone needed to go back to the jobsite and retrieve his finger so he took his other hand and pulled the missing digit out of his pocket ... at that...

I haven't messed with a CB in decades although I do have 2 stored out in the barn; a mobile unit and an old tube type base model. I keep telling myself I'm going to pull them out, dust them off and put them back in service.

My surgeon mentioned that, she said her husband was in the market for a table saw and asked her if he should spend the extra for that feature. She asked how much extra? when he said $2k - she said no way! That is pretty neat technology - makes you wonder how it can cut wood.

While I've never had a fear of any saw I did see a table saw being used on TV the other day and my first thought was the guy's fingers were too close to the blade. .... mine have often been closer.

It was a lapse of judgement while using a table saw. Recovering from the second surgery is a lot harder than the first. Pain isn't bad but I've been extremely tired. It is difficult to do much with one hand. My wife has to help me bathe, get dressed, cut up my food, etc.

sounds a little like my old ford 4x4, it has a weak pressure plate and i have to work at taking off from a dead stop and not making the truck chatter

i had the first surgery monday, it was just to put my fingers back together enough to keep them alive. tuesday they will try to reconstruct my ring finger and fuse the last joint on my middle finger. recovery could take 6 months. in the meantime i have to try and figure out how to do things with...

with the exception of a merc my wife used to have i've had good service out of autozone lifetime starters

my son's stepson is currently being home schooled via internet and is doing real well. i tease his mother and say it's because he's the teacher's pet covid cases are on the rise locally although it doesn't seem to have changed things much i all but cut my ring finger off monday so that hampers...

a bad battery can show full voltage, it needs to be load tested. most parts stores will do that for free

Double check all your electrical connections. I was stumped yrs ago with my 76 F100 4x4. I had a short section of the wire harness that checked good when you put the probes on it but was dead when you took the probe off. I had replaced most of the ignition components before I discovered those...

Have you narrowed the rattle down to that area? Exhaust is probably the #1 cause of rattles.

Seems to drive ok although I haven't put more than a dozen miles on it. I wish when I had bought my code reader I had spent a little more. Apparently the next model is the one that also reads ABS and air bag info. Supposedly it gives specific info on which speed sensor is bad or failing without...

The tire pressures were good, none were under 34 psi. I mis spoke earlier, the light comes on when the tires get down to 33 psi. They all have 35psi now. I replaced the rear left side wheel speed sensor. I didn't have time to test drive it other than going to the mailbox but there was no...

Steering wheel is centered, stock suspension. Tire pressure light hasn't come on so I assume all tires have at least 35psi. I check everything out when the sun comes up ..... and before the rain comes down.

About a week ago I noticed when I turned right on the last switchback coming up my driveway that my jeep momentarily lost power. At first I thought maybe my foot slipped off the gas pedal. Twice today while coming back to town it did it also. Both times I was at a near stop making a right hand...

I don't think I'd try putting it into 1st gear going much faster than 5mph. I've driven a lot of old vehicles that had little shifting issues but once you learned them and how to bypass the issue they shifted well. Sometimes it's helpful to be just barely rolling before you put it in first or...

Ya, they are easy to remove/install. Probably the hardest part of the job is getting the nut loose. If it's stuck, spray some PB Blaster on it - maybe wait a day for it to work.
