    What has everyone been up to in the off season?

    My 2016 Ram 6.4 Hemi started running horribly back in November, I pretty much made a vow 3 years ago to never go to a mechanic again so once my slow season came in December I started in at this. My original thought after looking around online was can and lifters. Once I got onto a Ram forum a...

    Rich/lean questions

    I’ve seen a fair number of threads here of people showing their plugs and I’ve come to realize that as far as I know all of my machines appear to be running rich according to reading the plugs. All my plugs are black, never the tan/beige that indicates a proper mixture. All of my machines run...

    Crankshaft not interchangeable?

    I’ve been researching to see if the crankshafts would be interchangeable between a 95XP 717 and a 2005 GTI 717 and from what I’m seeing for part numbers they are not? The 95XP crankshaft is part number 290887200 and the crankshaft for the 05 GTI is 420887868. I get many superseded part numbers...

    Interesting API-TC oil

    I thought this was interesting, bought myself a new Sthil trimmer and bought the 6 pack of oil for 17.49 to get the extra year warranty and noticed the API-TC rating on the oil packaging.
