    GM Execs sell off their shares in the company

    1 year range is .$41.60 to $61.24 As they say, sell high and buy low. Perhaps with an announcement coming this is profit taking before the storm to come.

    '64 International c900 riding on an '06 Trailblazer

    Even the shortest wheelbase TB at 113" will have to have the frame cut and shortened to 107" for the C900. A SWB S10 chassis might be a better option at 108".

    Better U-Joint

    Greaseable cross drilled u-joints have great intent that just never quite payed off. Grease flows the path of least resistance and right out the weakest seal. I avoided the cross drilled u-joints in favour of the style with the low profile zerk right in each of the caps. Great in open knuckle...

    Video: GM's planned obsolescence

    Popular thinking would suggest vehicles get better as bugs get sorted out......unless it's a GM.

    Unexplainable Problem with Trailer Hub Dust Caps

    I'd try a complete replacement hub kit on one or both sides. Every part new.....can't go wrong.

    Microsoft Bing uses OpenAI - Chat-GPT to Finally 'Challenge' The Google Search Engine

    I find the answers when ChatGPT is pushed seem somewhat washed reflecting today's political climate. I don't believe it's capable of giving an unbiased answer. While the answers are clever, they dance around giving a yes or no response. I wouldn't expect any more from it.....people created it.

    New TWO stroke Mazda engine, looks promising!

    I'm a lover of 2 cycles....but I'm afraid many just don't see it as I do. Just saying 2 stroke in this day sends the climate activists into the streets. Any company that builds this might be committing suicide as many won't buy it. If it has any chance, it will be in power sports like snow...

    Canada banning WD40/Brakeclean/etc...

    We have a brake clean and WD40 idiot at work. I blame Youtube for this and the main cause of the over use of these products. When I started my trade in the 80's.....we still had true English guys who believed that you sprayed varsol (WD40 and Starret M1) on aluminum for all sorts of...

    SOLVED! Loose, Rattle-y Heat Sheilds

    I'd use extreme caution lowering that rear portion of the exhaust. Your expansion joint is in real poor shape and is likely going to crack if it isn't already leaking. Overall....your rear exhaust system is on it's last legs. Time to consider a new rear system and fix that shield while your in...

    Kids, don't leave home without your code reader!

    Almost 10 cents a litre cheaper for diesel versus 87.

    SOLVED! Loose, Rattle-y Heat Sheilds

    It's simple as you said....just use a larger washer or even add a few extra screws to firm it up. I did mine at the same time I did my muffler.
