    This was ugly...

    I spent the day at the gun club as a volunteer rage officer for a charity shoot. One the way home I was merging onto a two lane divided highway. As I was merging I saw a white late-model Ford truck in the near right lane about 80 feet behind me. I was acclerating at a modest pace, and glanced...

    Chasing an Allison ghost

    Last winter when it got cold my truck would sometimes not move. The shifter worked fine, and would initally go into R, but then the shift indicator would blink (and sometimes disappear), the truck would act like it was in neutral and the RANGE SHIFT INHIBITED message would show up on the DIC...

    Small Engine repair - fuel leak

    I have a generator with a 13 hp Honda GX390 engine. There is a small fuel drip when it runs, coming off the carburetor bowl. The gasket appears to be leaking, but I can't find a replacement gasket on-line. The Honda repair manual list the complete carburetor assembly (for $91), but not the...

    Dang Battery Leak

    I did a radiator flush and fill last weekend, and after I got everything wrapped up I topped off my washer fluid reservoir. Fluid ran out onto the ground when the level got about 1/2 way up the filler neck. It was then that I noticed some corrosion on the positive terminal wire of the...

    Just a quiet Sunday drive

    My wife and I were headed to church in the DMax. We travel about 30 miles to the town where our congregation meets, mostly highway. I exited the northbound highway to head west, and found myself lined up at the stop light with some kind of foreign sports sedan that was in the right lane...

    Shift Range Inhibited

    I backed out of the 25 degree garage into 12 degree blowing snow and wind this morning, heard a slight pop (that I thought was ice) and then got the Shift Range Inhibited message on the DIC, and the bar underlining the R disappeared. I had hit the 4x4 button upon backing out to allow for...

    Radiator Flush - ?

    I need to flush the radiator, and was wondering where you guys find Dex-cool at reasonable prices. I live out in the sticks, and the local farm and home stores only carry the green stuff. I hate to pay a dealer for coolant that might be available cheaper elsewhere.

    A Double Whammy

    I was in my hometown this past weekend to celebrate my parents' 50th anniversary with family and friends. My wife and I had left my parents' house at about 10:30 p.m. on Saturday night, and headed across town to the hotel where we were staying. I decided to go down the main drag just for...

    Clay Bar?

    I tried a clay bar for the first time this past weekend. It was a bit time consuming to wash, dry, clay bar, and then wax the truck, but the clay bar process itself was not as arduous as I thought it would be. The results were good, but I was expecting something more dramatic. Perhaps the...
