    cub cadet XT-1 oil drain leak.

    i noticed a oil spot on the garage floor & then noticed the drain is leaking. it has the yellow twist & pull style drain. this is a Kohler 7000 24 h.p. engine. it was due for an oil change so when the oil filter was removed i could access the assembly & tightened it. it took near 2 full...

    GMC dash lights

    " will not pay $400 to diagnose a $50 problem." me either. i just found out that a fellow beekeeper works in parts at a local GM dealer. maybe i can get him to glean some information. the light i use is a small key ring/carabiner with an tiny led light

    GMC dash lights

    the speedo & tach do not light up, just the bottom row. I do not drive at night that often & have been checking my speed now & again with a mini mag light when i do. I can get by without fixing it. It's just frustrating that I can't.

    GMC dash lights

    I mostly post on the 8N forum & it was suggested there that I run this by y'all. I've tried a few GM forums, & you tube. The dealer is no help even though they probably know exactly what' the issue is. I have a 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4. ext, cab with 294 V-8. During the day my dash lights work...

    OT-GMC dash lights
