    Chev 5.3 intake leak

    My 2003 Avalanche with 72,000 miles started throwing engine codes saying "lean condition right and left bank". It was stumbling badly at idle and felt pretty anemic. So, off to my trusty mechanic I go. Verdict: warped intake manifold. Apparently this is common to this motor and year as the...

    Chilean Mine Rescue

    I've just watched the third miner rescued after 68 days and I can't help but believe that the collective humanity of this world can do anything it sets it's mind to. What a testament to the spirit of us all and those men who've endured this incredible ordeal! Never ever leave another...

    Pressure bleeding surge brakes

    I installed disk brakes, lines, master, etc etc last week and found this silly easy and effective bleeder set up that cost me $22.75 to make from the local hardware store and allowed me to fully bleed my brakes in about 10 minutes and a beer. It's made from a common pump sprayer and a couple of...
