| Answer to: Most reliable EV's | 10Relevance | 1 year ago | Rod Iron | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... next was the CUE (infotainment) screen needed to be replaced I did it myself for about $120, and a shorted seat vibration thingy which is part of the driver assistance system. The car sits low to the ground, and I stupidly drove through a flooded street. I should have heeded the warning they give every winter (Don't drown turn around!) but I was impatient and went anyway. Again, I fixed it myself with a new seat buzzer thing from the junkyard. At the time GM figured EV's only needed 40 miles of range due to the fact their studies showed people only drove an ... | |||||

| Answer to: Anyone know any aftermarket radios with CarPlay and a 6-disc changer? | 10Relevance | 1 year ago | Hixster | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Get a CarPlay head unit with an USB input (to access your music files). Local storage has moved way past CD changers. A small 16gb USB thumb drive can hold 4000 mp3s. Even inexpensive head units offer Bluetooth, USB. | |||||
| Recommendations On Power washer | 10Relevance | 2 years ago | Ashar | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Good morning, I recently moved into an apartment complex with many trees, making it difficult to find parking without tree coverage. As a result, my car accumulates a significant amount of leaves and bird droppings throughout the week. I am seeking recommendations for a portable power washer with water storage capabilities and a charging function, allowing me to conveniently wash my car. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. | |||||
| Mandella Effect? Did you have VHS DIY tape? | 10Relevance | 2 years ago | veterangrandad | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Not really a repair question. Can't remember if I owned a DIY tape of your on VHS. Not sure if it was in the 90's or early 2000's. Just for my sanity, needed to ask. I remember my Mom before she passed away gave me a video of DIY car repairs. I think I have it in storage. I'm an old helicopter mechanic who has been entertained by your videos for a Loooooooong time now. Like I always say, even the safest mechanic could never be a hand model. Busting my knuckles for too many years. Thanks for your Service. -vetgrandad | |||||
| RE: 68 Oldsmobile No Spark | 10Relevance | 2 years ago | AngeloA | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| @chucktobias I bought the points from NAPA. It didn't come with the condenser and I used the one that was on the old set, and they said they rarely go bad. This was my first time dealing with it, so I just went with it. I have an old Chilton book in storage that my grandpa left me...guess I need to go pull it out. I really want to get this thing fired up. So I'll try working on it again today to see what I come up with. | |||||

| Answer to: How hard to replace engine? | 10Relevance | 2 years ago | WannaKatana | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| It was running great before it overheated. I don't think it was over 100K or not much over. It's been in storage for a long time and it's not where I can look easily. I didn't drive it long enough to notice burning oil but the exhaust didn't seem to suggest it, no noticeable smoke of any color. I'm going to have a mechanic do a cylinder pressure test and look at the coolant and hopefully that will give a good clue as to if the heads are enough or if the engine is shot. It's still a nice looking truck for sure. I just want to get it running and sell it. | |||||
| Answer to: Ethanol free | 10Relevance | 2 years ago | Glen_stet | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Gasoline provides more energy when it burns than ethanol, so you get slightly more mileage and power. Since ethanol absorbs moisture from the air, ethanol-free gas will store better, and is less likely to gum up the fuel system, especially if it is a stored vehicle, e.g. boats and motorcycles in the winter. Is it worth the extra cost? I just use fuel stabilizer for storage (Sta-Bil, but there are other good choices) Here's some more info: And, Scotty's take: | |||||

| ... itself. I’ve heard some makes suggest to keep the hybrid battery at 50% and some say 25%. And some makes say to force charge it every 2 months at least. Be prepared to charge the 12V when you get back. That is long enough for it to get below the required voltage to start a car. Ideally the car should be in be parked in the shade in a cool space. The other things for storage like a normal car, like fuel stabilizer may also apply. | |||||

| ... occasion (towing a small pop-up, and also borrowing a 22 foot camper for a 5-6 week trip to the east coast of Canada). I'd keep it covered on my land in the spring/summer, and garage it around Thanksgiving. I'd like the option of using it the winter, if I fly up to Buffalo, get it out of storage with family, and go skiing for a few days or stay at my land. It would be stored near the Buffalo airport, for easy retrieval/dropoff. Total yearly usage would be <4,000 miles, excluding going out east. For this kind of infrequent use, a rental makes sense, but ... | |||||

| ... place to start. Also my question "why" in my response to you was why you think we should have direct video uploads here. That would require additional resources for storage and bandwidth. This site is funded only by Scotty, there are no advertisements and no donations taken. Having users provide a link to an external video sharing site (youtube preferred per Scotty) is not a huge burden to impose. You would need to take the issue up with Scotty himself since he ultimately calls the shots here. | |||||
| Answer to: Ethanol Almost Killed My Lawnmower | 10Relevance | 2 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Ethanol-contaminated gasoline starts degrading in weeks. You need to add a fuel stabilizer when storing the stuff for long periods of time. Either that or drain the gas completely before storage. Your lawn mower should be OK if the bad gas has already run through it but you might want to clean the carb and check the spark plug(s), change the fuel filter if it has one. Definitely drain the tank of the Toyota and blow the bad gas out of the fuel line with compressed air if possible, change the fuel filter. That will reduce the bad gas to a minimum and you sho ... | |||||
