    Aluminum trailer ramps

    I have had those same ramps for maybe 6-8 months, they are great for the price. I have loaded multiple cars, trucks, lawnmowers and even my 40hp tractor with them, zero issues. They have not bowed or ever felt like they were going to break. I had some smaller cheaper ones and they bowed a lot...

    AFM/DFM De-Activators

    Thats just turning off the system. If we do a full delete we pull the engine, remove the heads, get the heads re-done at the machine, change all lifters, non dod cam, oil pump and all nessary seals and gaskets.

    AFM/DFM De-Activators

    I disable AFM/DOD on a regular basis using calibration software to turn it off directly in the ECM. The cost is typically $100–$200, depending on the model year and platform. I also offer the Range AFM/DOD OBD-II plug-in device; however, at $239.95, most customers opt to have the ECM flashed...

    4th Mr Cool minisplit died

    Over the past ten years, I’ve had four mini-split systems develop refrigerant leaks in the indoor coil. When I recently called to order a replacement indoor unit and provided the serial number, I was surprised to learn it was still under warranty. While I’m not impressed with the longevity of...

    Why are Snap-On toolboxes so expensive?

    I know exactly what you mean. I asked my Snap-on dealer what the highest weekly payment he sees is, and he told me several guys are paying $150 a week. That blew my mind. I’ve never financed through Snap-on or opened a credit account. Over the years I’ve actually gotten some really good deals...

    Why are Snap-On toolboxes so expensive?

    I started buying Snap-on tools back in the 90s, and my stepdad always told me they were an investment—he was right. The prices have only gone up, and with their lifetime warranty, I’ve never regretted it. I own toolboxes and carts from Snap-on, Milwaukee, and Harbor Freight, and the difference...
