I like the added safety of DRLs. I’d like to instal a DRL kit to the ‘98 Mazda pickup, but when I try searching, I find bulbs but not entire kits. I’d figure someone makes a kit with the relays needed so you just wire it in and it comes on when the engine is running (or at least when the car is on). Any suggestions?
For a truck that old, why not use the manual version? You know, that headlight switch, that way you will get the added safety all the way around the vehicle. It has dinger to remind you the lights are on when the key is turned off.

With Walmart+ they do same day delivery without cost if it's in a local store. With groceries, they ask for a tip but not mandatory but still no contact. Everything else just shows up.

I'll sell you some. 😀

Use tie downs to minimize the gap and a tarp to keep the rain out of it.
If it will be tarped, I recommend block on either side of the crack for rain run off and sand bags around the perimeter. 💧

I save them for when I need them and forget where I saved them which I guess it what the OP is about.

I also feel dumber and sadder that people keep doing this to themselves.
Food seems to be as powerful a temptation as drugs and alcohol to some people.

You are not thinking of doing it this time of year are you?

Ford specifically had a warning against high octane on some cars
Looked for a little bit without finding but not doubting, did find warning about using some octane boosters.
Either way, can't see one tank harming anything.

Good info to know. There are rumors that the mandates may change in the near future but can't expound on that here.

My understanding: Mobil1 is Dexos approved and regular Mobile isn't.
Just happened across this tonight, my head hurts now.

I rotated the distributor clockwise one cylinder position so that the distributor harness wasn't pressed against the side of it and that appears to be what it needed.
So changing the dist. cap and and new/better wires is what it really needs, right? Checking it out in the dark is always interesting also.

Rather than me trying to spell out all the fine details, if you're curious, google it.

Motorcycle oil cost too much so unless something changes like the stop making it (which seems possible, even likely), Mobil 1 15w-50 for me.

In 20 years we'll be talking about how to get black market oil for the red Barchetta when ICE is outlawed. In 50 years we'll be arguing about which cabin air filter is best for the Cybertruck, which is the only vehicle now being made. They *are* the gleaming alloy air cars.
You really have faith in that non meat diet. 😁

I saw that Family, Farm and Home (just like a Tractor Supply) was having a sale on 5-qt. jug Mobil 1 full synthetic oil for $19.97 in the flyer. When I get there the jug doesn't look that same but they also have the jugs that look the same for $34.99. I have never saw this before and wonder what the difference is, additives? Didn't buy it but probably should have. BTW- Walmart has the normal kind for $27.97.

I know some u-joints require(d) regular lube to ensure durability.
You need to talk to some Gold Wing owners.

It's alive!
The motor and pulley block are totally Mickey Moused at the moment, but it runs. I don't want to hard mount anything because I don't want to dedicate the space to something that'll have rare use, but I have a better solution planned. It'll be set up so that I can slide it to the back of the bench when not in use but easy to deploy when I want it.
Which caliber barrel are you making first? 😉

The driveshaft is a component that BMW owners accept will eventually fail and needs to be watched.
Never had to do that on the Blackbird. 😉

Don't forget the photos.

So far, he has never said that it is his garage. I see no African Twin in there.
