I am changing the hydraulic filter on neighbor's CTL and the filter is stuck. I am suspecting I am doing something wrong. Does hydraulic system pressure need to be bled or relieved first? How would I do this? Lower arms/bucket then pull trigger on joystick to float bucket? Do I need to...

Pulling trees up. I have pulled many small trees up with my tractors too many to count easy peasy. I have no problem with most trees. Smaller ones are worse than the bigger ones as sometimes the small ones deglove or skin all the bark and limbs off and not pull out. Brushy type bushes tend to...

I have a back revolver roll up tonneau. Works pretty good. But when I haul mulch it’s a pain to clean out the track. Also, my 2020 is harder to clean out the gap at tailgate. I tried blue painters tape and it kept track clean. The tape came off ok but tears easy. Anyone tried similar...

I enjoyed this. I did find it interesting how he says the stoichiometry has some effect with burn back to the tip of the injector. Around 11:55 into the video. There are even more variables pressure in the cylinder, the temperature of the fuel, the temperature of compression and more. I have...

So what do you think of those tools to make a hose clamp from wire ? clamptite My initial use would be for garden hose to make a low profile clamp for a new end.

I read something recently that suggested it is best practice to jack up a vehicle by the frame to unload suspension to grease the ball joints. It makes sense as sometimes I lift my bushhog to grease the tailwheel kicking it to rotate it as the lincoln pumps grease around the "pin". But then I...

I was rear-ended in a wreck. No injury just damage to my truck. Insurance has been a pain to work with and IMO now lowballing the diminished value. So I see one of the most common formulas for diminished value is the market value x .1 as max diminished value. then multiplier for milage...

Just had a call from my sister1 with sister2. Sister2's car is a 2018 honda accord 50K miles recently serviced. They drove on a 2 hour trip then parked for 2 days and when started several check engine lights came (started like normal). I guess car can suggest service etc brakes might not...

Anyone rinse their jugs out and try to store them dry? I have maybe (8) plastic fuel jugs. I have tops for them and never leave the tops off for long. Before getting fuel I look inside and if they are "dirty" I clean them with carb cleaner and gasoline before getting fuel. When I say...

First time I’ve ever been stuck. I parked and before I returned people parked beside me and behind. My truck was too long to back out and work steering back and forth. The isle between parking rows was narrower than my truck length. Dang compact car beside me did not pull fully into space so...

I sometimes just watch youtube for ideas or new stuff. Sorta helps me to try and not get stuck in a rut thinking one way.

What are you using for a solar charger? I bought this one at academy sports to try but think I want a better one. I want one I can use for a phone and or speaker. One that will allow several hours of charge. Most of a day and an hour or 3 in the evening. Not too big.

I have washed rope and have some rope in a 5 gallon bucket of water mixed with fabric softener right now. Do you know any spray on product that works or good for solid braid dock lines that keeps them soft?

Considering a new truck. 2020 Chevy ( could go GMC ) 3500 Crw cab LB SRW Dmax My must-haves are pretty basic: Tilt wheel, dual zone AC, and comfortable seat (think I prefer the upgraded 40/20/40 with heat and headrest). Mechanically: heavy duty frt springs, factory gooseneck wiring, bedliner...

I have the old car code PC software by Alex C. Peper. I don't see his old website but he seems to have an android version of it with Carcoded dot com. The version of CarCode I have uses a OBD-II plug to what I think is called a DB9 or RS-232 cable then a DB9 to usb adapter. The car code...

My truck has a surging at launch when its cold but after it warms up past 170F coolant temp it launches smoother. Since I had replaced the timing gears I thought why not investigate timing and TDCO since it might be 50 starts since then and relearned to start causing this surging. I am using...

Ok, I'm down to pulling the HB and front cover but am I at TDC or BDC? I am trying to follow the directions written by Scott Boelman on THEDIESELPAGE - "Phaser Dual-Idler 6.5L Gear Drive Timing Set" . I was a member for a while and feel its ok and seems to be accessible from the open web. Are...

My truck's shudder on launch has gotten worse with age to point now its getting really aggravating sometimes Seems to have gotten worse this last winter. Might be getting better with warmer weather. But sometimes it's violent almost like its going to wheel hop spin. It only shudders when cold...
