Anyone have a contact that can do some wiring work on a smaller (I think like 16') 60's Starcraft boat? My dad is located in Shelby Twp and is having some issues with his - I don't really have time to look into it. From what I remember, it's something similar to this (this is not the boat...

SOLD 2004 Chevy Suburban Z71 5.3L 4x4 - good solid reliable vehicle, ~180k miles Clean MI title. Great family truckster (this was our usage), work vehicle (interior is freakin’ huge – I’ve easily fit 10’ sticks of PVC in it) or winter beater. Runs and drives perfectly. BOSE, leather, power...

Runs great, would be a great family truckster, work vehicle, or winter beater. Truck runs great with no lights on the dash and all gauges properly function. Well equipped with push button 4wd, power folding mirrors, BOSE stereo, factory leather heated seats, sunroof, automatic tri-zone climate...

Dumb question guys, but I've always had the Harbor Freight/Amazon el cheapo grease guns and it seems like they clog and/or won't pump for whatever reason way too easily. They are finicky as fck. Between my two tractors now and trying to maintain vehicles, I want something that actually works...

Thought someone here may have experience...I just tried to both renew my plate and request a duplicate title online, and it won't let me do the title online. I don't know if it's due to the plate renewal being pending or something else. My situation/question is this: Under my ownership, the...

Disregard, was able to get one!

Looking to pick up a cheap larger sedan, and I've gotten it in my head that I need a V6 G8. Does anyone have any good experience with the LY7, specifically if it were in an '08 or '09 Pontiac G8? Looks like this thing started in the Cadillacs and had some timing chain issues, at least at the...

Hey MM - I have an old Yukon that has slow leaks in 2 of the wheels. It's bugging me having to inflate them every few days. I'll probably upgrade wheels (these are crusty stockers) and tires at some point, but for the time being...anyone ever use bead sealant like below? Any real negative...

I have a ~2010 Craftsman (Husqvarna) garden tractor with a 42" snowthrower on it, and a home built cab. Had a ton of trouble with the Turf-Savers that came on it last winter - no surprise, I had no weights and those tires. Upgraded with some cast iron wheelweights (I think 50 lbs a wheel) and...

Hey guys - Looking to upgrade my home garage tool chest. I'm still currently using a ~26" Craftsman that I got in the mid 90's when I was a teenager. I've outgrown it long ago. This is just for my home garage, I am not out there wrenching every day, but I have a fleet of hooptys I need to keep...

I was poking through a box of shit from my room when I was a teenager, and found the title to my first car. If anyone has carfax access and is bored, wanna look it up? I'd appreciate it, I am just curious what it shows. Looks like there are 9 records. VIN 1G2FS87S6GN216611. I bought it...

Some of you knew the story of this car - the car to break break the 200mph NASCAR record. The car is at Mecum Indy now, going across the auction block this afternoon. Really cool story, and the car was phenomenally restored. Greg poured decades of his heart and soul into this thing, and finally...

I have a project where I need small quantities of plate steel, some angle iron, and a little C channel. All small quantities. Anyone have a good supplier near me? I live near Romeo. The only place I know of, from 15 years ago, was Astro steel on Sherwood in Warren. I can head there if need...

Where do you guys dispose of coolant? Does the county take it on their hazardous waste days?

Looking for advice/real world experience. My Grand Cherokee is a daily driver, I live on a dirt road, and it certainly doesn't get pampered. I don't let it stay too disgusting but I don't wash it weekly either. I replaced the stock wheels with refurb'd Jeep Commander wheels (off PartsGeek) and...
