This is our forecast.

57⁰F would be nice right about now. Least then I could turn the heat off. House is a balmy 70⁰F though.

So how you southerners feeling about the winter you guys are getting? Nebraska is an arid state, so snow doesn't usually stick around. Normal temps for this time of the year here are supposed to be about the mid 30s⁰F, but currently it is a whopping 4⁰F with lows being about -5⁰F tonight.

And then continue to use it.

In the age of information, ignorance is a choice.

Got the Grand Cherokee done today, at the cost of 3 work shirts getting soaked in coolant. Transmission pan was kind of quick, since I had cracked open the drain plug, it drained like 4 and a half quarts of fluid (drained it into a measured jug to make refilling easier) and once I got the pan...

I don't have much of an opinion yet on them. Only ones with 0w8 at this point in time is Toyota. But going that thin, requires CLEAN surfaces. All machining shavings need to be completely out. Partly why GM is having so many issues it seems with the 6.2L. I prefer 5w20 more. But I run the...

Not doing regular maintenance will destroy any engine. My dealership put in place a 5000mi/6mo oil change requirement for all Mopar vehicles 2013 and newer. Since then, we have seen a significant decrease in replacing cams and lifters in the 3.6 Pentastar. All customers have to provide...

Fun factoid, as far as gas and diesel engines are concerned, overhead valve and overhead cam engines are about the same age, maybe a few years difference, but close enough. OHC are made to make power higher in the RPM band vs OHV. Regardless to answer you're query, 2.7 TurboMax is a inline 4...

Having a productive day tomorrow. Have a 2015 Grand Cherokee doing the following: Cutting front and rear brake rotors, rotors are very warped. New 845 transmission pan and service. Plastic pan is leaking because they do that. The filter is integral to the pan, so that gets replaced at the...

Installing the rear cat on a 3.2, don't recommend. Not very fun.

Woke up this morning with a sore left shoulder. Cleared out before lunch. Now my back muscles are sore from trying to remove and reinstall a Power Transfer unit in a 2020 Cherokee. Had a service 4wd light on with a CC14a7-97 PTU motor component or system operation obstructed or blocked. They...

Yeah they are crowned a bit to let rain run off. I got lucky. Big problem I was having, when they bent the control arm, 2 of the alignment dowels that slide into the eccentrics that are pressed into the control arm mount, were missing. Probably popped out of place. So even though the eccentrics...

I know. Was just adding that whatever he hit, probably was baked.

Cab smelled heavy of weed. Take that for what you will.

Worked on this 2017 Silverado over a month a go as a used trade in. Guy bought it after I had done my inspection and services I had recommended for it. Somehow he bent the crap out of his right front upper control arm. Wallard out the hold the ball joint sits in and bent the snap ring. Also...

They do have a 632cu/in V8, but I've seen way more 572 crates floating around. The small block has been replaced with the LS family for a number of years now. Stronger design and plenty of aftermarket support.

The Predator 212 at the least is the LS swap of the go kart world. 670 or any V-twin for that matter? Probably 572 crate.

Was just browsing the build off main contest section, quite a few of the linked builds still have the old vBulletin links and not the new links. Clicking on them, just redirects to the forum home page. Not sure how many still go back to these old threads, but since the build off main contest...

The only down side to a manual reel or an auto reel, is sometimes the air chuck will beam you square in the 'nads. Life's hard, wear a cup.
