    Question periodic shudder during idle

    Here is a new one to me - this week I was sitting at a light and all of a sudden the engine shudders and I hear (at the same time) a metallic sounding rattle. The rpm dipped just slightly. Whole thing lasted only a couple of seconds then goes away. It now does it fairly regularly but still...

    Hey guys, I want a chainsaw. I looked at Lowes the other day and they all felt cheap and crappy. I want something dependable and solid and not cheap and plastic. With price a consideration, what would you recommend? I am thinking about a 20" and preferably under 250$. It would just be...

    Name that dog

    We adopted a german shepard mix with only 3 legs today. The shelter called him Trey but that is my brother-in-law's name so we need another. I was thinking of a german name but don't speak any so don't know any. Who has suggestions? :sweet

    I got some b99 from the Green Spot on Buckner, just South of where Mockingbird lane goes over Buckner Blvd yesterday. Feels good to have it again. You need to call ahead because only one guy is authorized to pump it. On nearbio.com for a map. About time Dallas got some!

    Anyone with a Racor prefilter - are you having any trouble with leaks? I frequently notice a small wetspot under my filter and fuel all over the canister. A week or two ago I took my filter wrench and managed to tighten it quite a bit curing the problem for a while. Today I noticed a spot...

    spare tire today

    I have been hearing an odd noise whenever I hit small bumps. Sounded like a metal buzzing from the passenger rear side. Never worried too much and could not find anything other than a loose rear hub cover to which I attributed the noise. WRONG (at least I think) I leave the house this...

    water heater question

    when I leave town in winter, I usually shut the water off at the curb. Someone recently told me I need to shut off the water heater if I shut off the water. Since I have a hard time believing 40 gallons of water can evaporate in 5 days, should I turn it off or leave it alone? thanks!
