    Best oil filters to help with oil pressure?

    Hello I have had low pressure showing ( 1/4 mark at idle is way lower than usual) I had changed oil 5800km (3600miles) previous but used a fram ultra as it was a last minute change. I have just changed oil filter using a WIX and all is good again. Guess I won't be using fram, even the ultra...

    Dod project question

    Rear Air Con annoyance

    Hello folks, I'm searching for ideas before I go digging. I have an annoying rear air issue, it's -35⁰c up here in the cold north. I thought I would take advantage of the rear heat to keep the family alive in the back seats. I turn it on and it's cold ...I turn to cold and it gets ice cold...

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    My 2012 tahoe lifter failed and I changed lifters and cam. It can be done quite cheaply (compared to new motor) over a weekend, I had an old mechanic supervising and I had a rough idea what to do from youtube videos and excellent support from this forum and others.
