Nothing too earth-shattering here. I'd like to see a general article on automotive myths - the first one on my list would be, "The brand of oil you use makes a measurable difference in your engine's performance and longevity." Sure to generate tons of controversy.

I learned something about Max Pressure. I was always nervous about inflating my tires on the F-250 to 80 lbs., but apparently that's well within the design spec.

Interesting read.

Popular Mechanics has many interesting "on line" articles that are "car related".

OMG a 2*4 isn't really 2*4! No wonder everything I make doesn't fit <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.png" class="smilie" alt="" /> I learned something too.

A 2x4 under my front wheels fits just enough for me to get a jack under the 968, so I'll take it! Maybe I could try increasing my tire pressure instead?

Thanks for that. No one at the last DE I did seemed to definitively know, which I found unusual. I had them around 38. Seemed to work well
