  1. I need some coolant for my Jeep (and a new radiator soon, that's another discussion). It some special stuff that's kind of fuschia-purple. Then there's the stuff that claims to work with anything. Hmm.
  2. Sure it's not zinc coated copper? Also, who cares if they are aluminum?
  3. I've had several dryers outside, and occasionally the washer too. It's AZ so there's no humidity to kill it, and keeping heat outdoors is always good. In houses with a swamp cooler it would be more humid inside the house. And no dryer vent to clean. I lived in a house with a weird semi carport/garage thingy, which had hookups for it. There was a garage door, and roof that was part of the house, but the other two sides were totally open. Weird but also useful. Many older AZ houses had odd arrangements like this. On the original question I'm confused why this needs to be a "part" and not just some wire and connections.
  4. Used vehicle salesmen are such slackers. Wonder if he sold the owner an extended warranty and the underbody coating too?
  5. You don't' remember when busas were catching fire left and right? I don't remember what caused it though. I crashed a busa party and two of about ten bikes there had fire damage.
  6. Moriah's Ruger SR22 is finicky, and each mag (all genuine) vary in what they like. It sucks. Great gun otherwise. The old Mark II and the S&W eat anything, to where I've dumped boxes of random shit in the mag loader and it just doesn't matter. Oh yeah, did I post about the Mark II/III/IV mag loader? Magical.
  7. No, not a problem. No idea what to expect. Still looking forward to it.
  8. I think he's just trying to criticize the marketing/site for Cyclops, not actually get an answer.
  9. If you don't know why you would want to buy LEDs, you're not qualified to buy them.
  10. Is the beam pattern the same tight, flat pattern as a real bulb?
  11. Right, so it's just an audio connection you could use with anything.
  12. I can't tell you what you "should" do, but I haven't used a dedicated GPS on a bike in a very long time. It takes too much work to use, no voice control, etc. How is a helmet hardwired for some specific device? It's just audio.

  14. I won't be anywhere on the bike for at least until the weekend, but will take some pic next time I ride. It won't be as interesting as above.
  15. As zero said, the rear brake now seems to be operating normally, though you can't be sure unless you ride it or find a way to compress that cylinder and test it. For the crazy signals my first go-to is grounding when I see odd behavior. Most often that's it. Since I haven't worked on a XX in a long time though, I can't recall any specific places to look. Possibly within the turn signal switch itself. Or possibly at the end of the cable coming from the switch.
  16. The Z4. I think it might be for the performance models, I know my friend with a sedan hasn't been doing that and I haven't heard of any warnings from the computer. It's a 35 also, but not an M-sport. Either way, for $80 every two years, that's an easy choice. The Z4 may be a little harder to get under than an Explorer.
  17. I sold my SKS and just found this. Pay for shipping which will probably be about $7 because it's so heavy. A priority mail flat box should do it. This is all surely cheap crap, like all SKS stuff. I have no recollection of where I got it or how much it cost.
  18. DOT 5.1 seems ideal, if it's on the shelf and not a crazy price. Otherwise, we've all done fine with DOT 4. The BMW specifies a change every two years, and I have a shop do it since bleeding through the ABS and traction control system is reportedly a huge change. $80 and they use DOT 4. Being slightly compressible, they'd probably hate to lose the brake feel.
