    uses for old cell phones?

    I use mine to hook my snake camera up to so I'm not banging around outside and under the dash of cars with my new phone. Also use it to take pictures when I take something apart so if I don't get to put it back together right away I can still see how I did it.

    windows 7

    If you are proficient with 7 I don't think you'll have a lot of trouble transitioning. I recently bought a win10 machine and took some time to familiarize myself with it and I think it's better overall than win7.

    Canadian windshield washer fluid

    Everything here in Missouri has always been -20 as far as I know. And it will freeze on the windshield at 0. About 20 years ago I mindlessly picked some up at Wal Mart and put it in my car and a few days later the tank was full of slush. I went and got the Wal Mart stuff and looked. It proudly...

    Question for Old-(or anybody else) Oreillys parts

    I retired from O'Reilly's a number of years ago after working in both the stores and corporate(IS). Bear in mind my info is over a decade old. Old is right, the strength of an O'Reilly store is in the manager. But the district manager is a factor too, even though you'll probably never know who...

    Economics 101 Puzzle for Dummies ????

    So if we print some money (tourists money) and feed it into the system we will all be debt free? And then, since we live in the real world, when the printer takes it back in the form of interest and inflation our hotels, pig farms and the like will all be worth the same?

    changing spark plugs ford 5.4 gasoline engine

    I said that because by now most are old enough to have had the updated plugs put in them, with a lower chance of breakage. Having said that they are still a junk design and have oil pump problems and cam phaser problems. If you are a mechanic and read the service bulletins there is nothing hard...

    changing spark plugs ford 5.4 gasoline engine

    $200.00 seems reasonable. The first time on my 2004 3v f150 is cost me $350.00 with a throttle body cleaning, and none broke. Something was up though, these Motorcraft plugs only lasted 37k. And they broke two coils.The second time I had to have my truck over a weekend and one of them failed...

    95 Regal Intake Plenum

    I put a Dorman on my 95 LeSabre. Didn't really see any problem and it has performed well. The EGR passage is beefed up I believe. Now the Dorman for the 4.6 Fords are less robust than the OEM and I would go OEM on a daily driver on those.

    Battery problem but sort of good

    People at the Lake of the Ozarks where Old is close to come down from the cities in the spring and their toys won't start so O'Reilly's gets a huge influx of (usually) deep cycle batteries as cores for new ones because they don't want to charge them. As long as Old's friend is sending the...
