    VP DP-SM drain screw leaking

    I always replaced the o-ring every time I changed gear oil. The one thing you HAVE to do is cover the threads with tape before sliding the o-ring over them. The thread will damage the o-ring if you don't. To me, the o-ring looks like the correct one. I had the exact same drive.

    5.0 GXi oil extraction

    On a Volvo, the dipstick tube should go to the bottom of the pan where it connects to a fitting that replaces the drain plug. That is why using the garden hose fitting should work fine. Might want to see if that is still the case with your engine in case someone has changed it. Don't waste your...

    Which hull brands to avoid

    I have owned 2 Bayliners. Now granted they are older than 2000, I would still never buy another one. And yes...I have been on and seen the newer ones.

    Need Help Selecting New Trailer Brake Kit/Actuator

    I had a trailer I dunked in salt water and just bought the Kodiak dacromet rotors and calipers. I made sure I rinsed the brakes after I got home and I never had an issue. The big disadvantage of stainless rotors is heat dissipation. If you aren't running in mountains, that is probably not an...

    Trailer Wheel

    I believe most auto wheels already have positive offset so a spacer would put it in the wrong direction.

    Trailer Wheel

    Make sure it is a zero offset rim. Most auto rims are not.

    Pontoon trailer setup

    If you want to improve your suspension, ditch the springs with hooks, get springs with eyes on both ends. The one end will be with a bolt to a fixed spring mount and the other end will go to the equalizer with shackles. This is my travel trailer in which I just replaced all 4 springs yesterday.

    Pontoon trailer setup

    Of course that won't work if the ground your trailer is sitting on is not level. You need to check with the trailer parallel to the ground.

    Pontoon trailer setup

    Drive your trailer to a flat parking lot. It can slope as long as the slope is the same between the front and rear of the trailer. Get the trailer parallel to the ground by measuring at the front of the trailer and the rear and get them to be equal by raising/lowering your tongue. Then you can...

    Pontoon trailer setup

    It will do this if there is more load on the rear axle of the traieler hence the reason its called an equilizer I have been following this thread as well and I totally agree. In an ideal world where both axles have identical weight and each spring deflects equally, the equalizer will be level...

    2023 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    You probably didn't mind the PI call on the Rams Sunday where the Rams player never touched the receiver and the poor spot on the Steeler's QB sneak.

    1988 OMC 3.0 Clunking (May be Thunking) at High Speed

    It's the dog gears that are slipping. They are going to need to be replaced. This is normally caused by the lower shift cable out of adjustment. This is a very expensive repair.

    Omc cobra single shift cable setup?

    Show the pictures of each end of the cable. When these joint ventures came out, they had the Volvo end at the drive side and the OMC end at the control side. If the Control was changed, they it will not have the OMC end anymore.

    Guessing young adult kids text back rather than call?

    You are probably on a cell phone and you are probably on a computer....too late...data on you has already been collected. Get off the internet and don't use a cell phone if you are really worried.....maybe use a BFH on both of them.

    LOL You were worried about what in particular? Tin foil hats work pretty well I hear!

    Guessing young adult kids text back rather than call?

    If your car is older than a 2015, you don't need to worry about OnStar...it doesn't work anymore.
