    All Burned Up

    The silver lining being that the fire only destroyed things you can replace. I am concerned about the hood latch becoming useless during an engine fire.

    tranny or engine oil leak -PIC-

    I've had good luck with 0w-40. It has reduced the flow to the underbody quite a bit.

    HOW TO: installing a garage door opener into your 80

    I read you post. Then I went and got a beer and read it again. I'd give it a 9.95. The highlight of my evening thus far.

    my lx450 seems to burn oil. Suggestions?

    I was "disappearing" about 1 quart every 800 miles using 5w-30. I changed to 0w-40 and now I only use about a quart every 1300 miles.

    I sometimes get the smell coming from my ds wheel well. The only thing I can figure is that it's oil.

    100 HP Plus 30 mpg

    I'm going to buy one, not because it will help my truck but because it will make me more handsome. Ok, it will make me less ugly. Women will swoon when I walk by and not just because I've been working on my truck in the hot summer sun. I think it will also make me taller.

    Tachometer issue

    Mine also seems to stick from time to time, usually when at idle. The engine is idling smoothly but the tach needle jumps from 250 to 650 and back. Seems to only happen when the weather is cold.

    Replace 2 or all 4 tires?

    In the old days we were told that you should only rotate radial tires front to back. If your tire started out on the drivers side, it had to stay on the drivers side for the life of the tire and that moving a tire from one side to the other was a very bad thing. What has changed? Has tire...

    Replace 2 or all 4 tires?

    I'd either buy 1 and carve it down to match or, go for 4 or 5. When the tread gets thin enough on my tires, I think I'm going to buy 5 and try the 5 tire rotation method. Is anyone here doing the 5 tire rotation shown in the owners manual?

    how do i know what has been done to my truck with no records?

    Here's what I did to check my knuckles. I found a big empty parking lot and drive in tighter and tighter circles, first to the left and then to the right. Towards the end I could hear clicking in the DS. So, I printed out Norm Needlemans' birfield repack directions and went to work. That was...

    Oil report

    That's a fine looking report. My Blackstone kit came in the mail a couple of weeks ago. I think I'm going to do the next change at 5,000 miles and send in the sample. I'm using Mobil 0-40.
