Sale at RPW. http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/product/13088/HylomarUniversalBlue The original, from England. If you like that sort of thing. Heard some guy on the internet say that Permatex changed their recipe a little. Most every other source of English Hylomar is a lot more than this...

This is my AirCat grinder. I like it. Not that I know anything about air tools; I'm new to compressed air. Very few instructions came with it. The usual sermon about putting lubricating oil into the air intake end before and after use. That was basically it. Where the pointy tool is pointing...

Lisle 19802 All Purpose 2 Piece, 3 Way Funnel Link: http://amzn.com/B000P0VTC8 Got one recently, I like it. Fits Dodge 5.9L. Just learned today in an old thread that some 1 quart oil bottles have threads that fit oil fill holes, and you can make your own with a razor blade. Oh well... the...

http://www.harborfreight.com/4-piece-38-drive-uick-release-extension-bar-set-67976.html Harbor Freight 3/8" drive locking extensions, 67976. I have sung their praises before in other threads. I quickly got spoiled and wondered how I lived all these years with non-locking extensions. I also...

I’m trying to fix an A/C condenser electric fan on a 2000 Dodge Durango. I’m working off some diagnostic procedures somebody printed from napafix.com a few years ago. Step one in “tests/procedures” is “With a scan tool, enter the Automatic Test Mode (ATM) test mode and attempt to actuate the...

Just noticed last week that the first eight feet of the ceiling of my basement garage is the floor of the screened-in porch above. House is about 60 years old and in a region where people don't take winter seriously enough when it comes to insulation (or putting a hat on.) IR temp gun shows...

Dodge truck, front knuckle, going to repair some stripped threads with a Helicoil, 9mm x 1.25. I think I recently read that you shouldn't Loctite Helicoil situations, but I've noticed that folks are keen on Loctiting these brake caliper guide pins. No big deal? If the insert backs out some...

I'm looking for a durable type of 3.5mm vacuum hose. I normally use the German cloth-covered stuff, because that's what my cars came with. But this is a bad spot. It's the vacuum servo for a locking center differential and it's too close to the exhaust downpipe. And it's a place I can't get my...

Craftsman Professional 3 ton jack stands. Bought a pair about a year ago. Use them, they work. Nice paint, fair price on sale, but still Chinese. Whee. Tonight I discovered a pair of roll pins taped to the inside of the base of one of the pair. I peeked, best I can figure is, there's a blind...

I'm currently refurbishing the brakes on a 1987 German car. The hoses my parts guru sent me for one spot (car has 7!) are about 3/4 of an inch too long. This may just be the best that can be done at this point in history. But I started to wonder -- when hoses get to be 25 years old, do they...

They work, don't they? I've never heard anybody say anything bad about 'em. http://www.batterymart.com/p-battery-mat.html#tabrev I was tempted to get one for the missus's SUV. It has dribbled some acid in the past, in some very hot weather situations, I'm guessing. Thought I'd pick one up...

Same guy, different cabinet, smokin' deal, not mine: http://charlotte.craigslist.org/tls/3240122478.html

I bought mine used off Craigslist. Poked around Lowe's website, got the impression they weren't going to help me unless I was the first buyer. Just got it as an Adobe file for $4.95 at: https://www.needanownersmanual.com/ Beats begging a fellow GJ person to zerox and mail. Or maybe my...

Drained the oil on my Kobalt 30g 1.8 hp 2 cylinder (cast iron inline 2 cylinder single stage) compressor the other night. When I peer into the drain hole, I see rust brown up to a "waterline" of where the oil used to be. Is this normal? Because of cast iron, air, moisture, this isn't an...

I just bought this set: I didn't have a pressing need to buy an SAE set of nutdrivers, but since so many other SAE fasteners have snuck into my previously pure eurofoofoo life in the past year and a half, I figured I should pick up a set at a fair price when I got the chance, then I'd find out...

Not mine. http://charlotte.craigslist.org/tls/3240122478.html

I'm pondering the ways in which old, worn shocks can go bad. The car: 2000 Durango 4x4 Current shocks: CarQuest Bruiser Gas XD. They're some kind of gas shock. Made in USA, back in the day (2006.) Went on at 126K mi, cost $42/ea as installed by the tire shop (long before this car joined by...

Have a buddy who has moved into a home in the country. He has a healthy creek running on his property, close to his house. This is the Southeast, hot and humid is what we've got. His attached garage has no A/C. My idea: run tubing upstream in the creek, have cold water flow into it (hopefully...
