    Ear ringing/Tinnitus

    As you're fairly "new", I'll go easy on you. No. They're not the same. The warning labels are there because the anti tobacco crowd has been going bat **** crazy over vaping for the past 20 years. There's a reason why the British Medical Association has stated that vaping is much safer than...

    Ear ringing/Tinnitus

    Smoking, not vaping.

    Yep, if it's the 5.3 V8, it's an SS with the LS4. Kelly Blue Book puts it at an average of $10,500. You might be able to get higher if you connect with the right buyer, though. Me? I'd slap a Whipple supercharger on that sucker, beef up the transmission and suspension, and terrorize the...

    Ear ringing/Tinnitus

    You should probably consult your doctor. The jury is out on whether vaping can be a direct cause for tinnitus. On the other hand, loud noises (including blasting your car stereo), stress, illness, etc. are well known causes.

    How do you know that vaping caused the tinnitus?

    If that's an Impala SS with a LS4, we need to talk.

    Yep... I had an old Ford Five Hundred that had a shift interlock solenoid go out. Bear in mind, this is usually a 10 dollar part, but because Ford buried it deep inside the shift assembly, you had to buy the whole thing, which at the time was over 500 bucks. Went to the nearest salvage yard...

    Gasket kit for a crown 1?

    Gasket or o-ring? If it's an o-ring, you can get a box of 'em in assorted sizes pretty dang cheap.

    New vape shop opening up in town and I have concerns…

    OK, let's get real here. You're in a small town (similar to the size of the one I grew up in). Do you honestly think a full on vape shop that caters only to eliquids, mods and supplies will make it past the one year mark? Especially in a location where you're not going to have a whole lot of new...

    Mornin' y'all. This morning is going to be tinker on the car day. Have an in cabin filter I need to replace and new wiper blades. I don't know why manufacturers insist on making that cabin filter such a pain in the backside to replace. I have to dismantle the entire glove box in order to access...

    Heh... Good thing y'all ain't down here then. We treat distances a lot different. A destination 3 hours away is "just down the road a bit". Many moons ago, I purchased a one ton Dodge dually. In the first 6 months, we put over 36,000 miles on the truck. Yeah, we were doing some serious road...

    Ugh... Pity you aren't closer, I'd offer to do it or turn you onto a couple of places here that does awesome work on the cheap. Replacing it isn't that difficult, just a royal pain in the backside as you have to dismantle a lot of stuff to get to it. Had to get a new ID card so I figured I'd...

    Wasn't too bad. We had spotty showers going through during the evening so that cut down on a lot of the idiocy that tends to crop up for the holiday. Got a call from a buddy who said a company he interviewed for needed some extra help for a gig tonight. Extra spendies is always a good thing.

    All this talk about auto repair just reminded me I need to whip over to the Ford stealership and make an appointment for some warranty work. Nothing critical, but it's something I should get done. Have an in cabin air filter I need to replace, too. Car isn't as fresh as it could be. Will...
