And the verdict is in... I opened a 4-pack of sp-594 plus, and all 4 appear to be gapped to .029

darn, I was going to suggest a brick and a chunk of a 2x4. I'm now curious, as I work in an auto parts store, I think I'll go raid our shelves and measure the gap of a samplings of SP594's

what makes you think it's a guy? <g>

I understand the "why" they do it, but I have to ask... why wouldn't they take parts (like the damper... ok, maybe the wheels and tires) to perhaps repurpose them?

interesting thread, hope you fine a resolution. about 2 weeks ago I had an issue where the radio just stopped working. nothing from the radio (am/fm/sirius XM or even android auto). when I eventually did was a reset (hold the radio's power button and the seek right button -- the one on the...

FWIW, the AGM battery at Advance Auto parts comes with a 4 year warranty, and they'll check yours for free (stupid autocorrect)

you can take it to a nationwide auto parts store and ask them to give you the codes (most won't reset the light, though). I'm in Pennsylvania, and part of the annual inspection is to check the computer for codes, and if the light was recently cleared, it will show that the computer isn't...

typo, right?

The key words are, "Up to". if you're getting 10mpg, and plug this thing in, and your MPG goes to 10.2 MPG, they will tell you it's working and decline a refund. keep walking, and work on your driving habits. If you find lessons on that, let me know, I apparently need them too.

without intending on derailing this conversation (nice trucks, btw... like the red paint) I went on Tire Rack's site, and looked around a little. Actually, I was looking to see if they still made the Long Trail T/A (they apparently don't -- had a set on my 2001 Wrangler and loved them) so...

any update?

He didn't say Ford was going to replace it, but if they offered...

Coolant expands as it gets hot. Could it be that the expanding coolant is simply hitting the overflow mark and being expelled while driving. And when it comes off, falls back to its previous mark? Or perhaps a leak in the coolant reservoir bottle?

came here to say this, great advice.

Seafoam is pretty cool, actually. Did you know: * If you use about 1 ounch per quart of oil in the crankcase, maybe about 100 miles before you change your oil, it'll help get more gunk out when you drain the oil? * what is now "high mileage" Seafoam is the original formula before they were...

I don't care for fish in general, but I like fishing (catch & release)

I think it's something that people do, like we're going to charge people to take their used oil, so they "dump" it at our door. doesn't happen a lot, but it happens. Even if our drums are full, if you bring it in using a disposable container, I'll take it, and save it for one of our...

anyone else remember hearing about a 1963 issue of Popuar Mechanics which suggested you dig a deep hole in your back yard, and fill it with gravel, and dump your used motor oil in the hole?

we won't take used oil if its brought in a laundry detergent container. it contaminates the oil and creates all sorts of problems for us

I work for a national auto parts chain store. we take used oil (engine oil, transmission fluid, all goes in the same tank, but no gasoline). We don't make anything on accepting the used oil (in fact, we pay a company to take it away). a couple local shops we deal with will take the oil and...
