My Wife and I loaded up a Cannon 24 gun safe from Cabelas one night. I think it weighed about 600+ lbs.

The Lox

Got one for my 08 but not for my wifes 07. But I have not received anything else. My address with GM was my old address in KC, but now I live in Dallas. How do I notify them to send the new letter to the correct address?

The Lox

Somehow the wifes J-Bolt from the battery tie down had disappeared. So yesterday she called and said the car would not start, I had her wiggle the battery and everything was fine.So this morning I pulled the battery and replaced the dust cover on the drivers side headlight that I couldn't work on wh...

Well I picked up a 21mm 3/8 socket, and it fits fine. It really pissed me off that Craftsman only offers 12pt in this size if you want to buy a single socket. They did have a 6pt socket, but it was with a $50 set. I just hope the 12pt doesn't slip and roll a lug nut...Looks like I am going to have t...

My wife got me a 3/8 tourque wrench for christmas, and I bought a 13/16 3/8 deepwell socket to use for the vibe lug nuts. For some reason the 3/8 socket will not fit. The 1/2 drive socket that is 13/16 fits though.Does anyone know what size 3/8 deep socket fits the lug nuts? I searched but found not...

The Lox

So I am planning on throwing the steelies back on for winter. I HATE the stock hubcaps. Has anyone found any aftermarket ones that look good and cover the whole wheel? I had some on my honda civic years ago and they just pushed in with pressure..Any thoughts gang?

I have really been looking at these lately, I found this website http://www.xenonlink.com./ and thier kits are 119 each. I know nothing about color range or what K I want.

Quote, originally posted by SkyVibe Â»Just a tip- next time put in the fuel system cleaner a tank of fuel or so before you change the oil Many times some of the cleaner or crud it removed ends up in the oil, which isn't such a great thing.

The Lox

Guys - We aren't talking about race motors or reproduction motors here. There is NO reason to change the oil that early on a brand new factory engine. If there was, GM wou certainly recommend it. They are giving you 100k miles worry free, so if they were really trying to protect that investment, and...

Well I got her done, no problems. I bought 4 filters from Toyota to ahve for my car and the wifes. I went with Mobil 1 full synthetic. I also threw in a can of seafoam in the gas and filled up. The car is running way better than when I first got it. Probably just all broken in and ready to go..Next ...

The Lox

I can't really decide what to do. Take it to the dealer? Take care of it myself? I have a 6 year 100k warranty on the car, and don't want to risk voiding it, but I am thinking I'd like to run sythetic in this car since I will be driving it for a very long time. What do you guys think??

The Lox

Cleaned it up today, so I will probably throw that thing on tomorrow!!

Just use a red or gray scuff pad from 3m. Unless you are going for a 100 smoth finish to a textured piece, there is no reason to use actual sandpaper..the scuff pad will do the job, and will not tear up your parts..

The Lox

Hey Wave - How is gas mileage doing now that you have had this on for a month or so? Any significant decrease?

The Lox

Just wondering? I have always liked the stuff from Eagle 1. I gave the Vibe its first treatment the other day, of course it rained the next day. Everything beaded up real nice just like you woul expect from a regular waxing. I'll wax the car the real way once about every 6 months, but I figure a wax...

This was a feature on my old ford focus, my dad acciently broke the switch off when we were working on the car, and so he just wired the two wires together. I never had to press the clutch to start again. Maybe this would work the same way? I am sure all that flip switch does is complete a circut......

The Lox

So every now and then I will get in the car, press the clutch and turn the key and nothing will happen. Then the car will start. I don't know if maybe I am not pressing the clutch in far enough or what, but the car does start every time. It just seems a little wierd. I do not have an anti-theft on t...

Let us know how your MPGs are affected. I was thinking about getting a short ram but don't want to hose my MPGs.

Has anyone else noticed this? I don't have a sunroof, so I have the map lights on my rear view. I can't put the visor all the way to the windshield without having it bump the rearview out of the way.
