re: Car driven through floodwaters not starting -UPDATED
Posted by ScaryTerry on 4/10/24 at 6:56 pm
Easy way to tell if it's hydrolocked-- check if the air filter is wet. If it is, bad news. If it isn't, you may have gotten lucky. ...
re: Extended warranties
Posted by ScaryTerry on 2/20/24 at 7:07 pm
Most people lose money on these warranties. If you get one, make sure to get the best warranty they offer. Look at the list of "covered parts", because they absolutely will not cover anything that isn't on that list. Most don't cover seals and gaskets, which can be costly to replace, so make sure th...
re: OT mechanics - Best engine cleaning additive (oil)
Posted by ScaryTerry on 1/3/24 at 5:40 pm
If you can find it, use BG EPR. Pretty much only sold to repair shops as far as I know, but it works on crankcase/valvetrain/vvt carbon deposits. Idle for 10-15 minutes after adding it, then change oil and filter. ...

Get a quote from a reputable independent repair shop. It will likely be much, much less than the dealer and come with an equivalent warranty. ...

re: In need of new set of tires prior to this years hunting season
Posted by ScaryTerry on 6/7/23 at 8:43 pm
Ironman All Country m/t are one of the loudest and worst-handling tires on the market. Avoid them unless it's just a camp truck. Toyo m/t, Firestone destination m/t,or Nitto ridge grapplers would be my choice for a daily driver, in descending order of aggressiveness. You get what you pay for.....
re: new tires - manufacture date missing
Posted by ScaryTerry on 4/24/23 at 5:33 pm
The manufacture date is only stamped on one side of the tire. Did you check the inside sidewalls?...
re: All time debate: Tundra vs. F150 vs. Silverado/Sierra
Posted by ScaryTerry on 3/1/23 at 7:35 pm
I work on all of these on a daily basis. The newest models all have issues, so you have to decide what your priorities are.
Th Rams have lifter/camshaft issues, particularly the 3.6(but also the 5.7)
The GM trucks also have lifter/cam issues unless you do an AFM delete.
The Ford 5.0 has timing ...

re: GMC Yukon - Fuel Pump Shuts off Constantly While Filling Tank (SOLVED: update pg 2)
Posted by ScaryTerry on 11/23/21 at 8:34 pm
What year model? Most common cause of this in a Yukon is the vapor canister itself. It gets flooded with fuel and stops letting vapors escape, preventing the tank from venting. ...
