    Take a white cloth and wipe the fluid with it. If the cloth has a pink cast it's power steering fluid. If it's still white, it's brake fluid. Brake fluid also has a feel to it. It's not a lubricant so it doesn't feel slippery like a lubricant.

    Some people don't know how to work on carburetors, some don't do sensors. I will admit the vehicles with sensors have proven more reliable, but when something goes wrong I don't know how to diagnose them. Besides, when the apocalypse happens and an EMP wipes out tech, all I need to get my carbed...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I need to do that... I had a rag joint disintegrate after getting off the freeway doing 100+ mph. At that speed I wouldn't be here. It's a weird feeling when you go to turn and the steering wheel just spins...

    Oh... sorry if I hurt your feelings. Pretty obviously all corporations and all individual parts stores (and individual counter persons) have differences. I suppose it's possible that some AZ somewhere has competent personnel. But as an average I'll stick with my (informed) assessment.

    I was working in the auto parts industry when and where Autozone began doing business. It was a "known" thing that they were part of Walmart although they publicly denied it, and Walmart is known in inside circles as engaging underhanded practices. Of the three local auto parts stores in...

    Sounds like a dead short to me. I'd find it before installing a $320 part.

    Sure glad our ancestors managed to live through all the "dangerous" animals and not turn into whiny little cry babies.

    Yeah, we had that discussion. And she's a great driver and was when she first started to drive. But seriously, how do you drive defensively when you are in a line of cars waiting to enter a parking garage, curbs on either side, and a Jeep decides to back up? It was like she had a target on her...

    Personally... I'd get her something you won't care about. My daughter was in six accidents in her first year if driving... and none of them were her fault. She had teacher's pull out in front of her, Jeep's back up over her hood, people that rear ended her, and bikers pull out of side streets...

    3.73 would be my choice... unless you are hauling over 10K pounds as standard practice, rock crawling, or competing in the 1/4 mile.

    My brother's '13 Shelby sounds like a beast, but a quiet growl. I've heard a Camaro sound similar. I don't know how they get that sound, but it's better than anything old school that I've ever heard.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yeah, better to have it pop. I had one that didn't and a newly rebuilt engine had a 9 inch crack in the block. Used some Silver Seal on it and ran it, but never really trusted that engine completely.

    Have you adjusted the nut on the steering box?

    Other skull needs to be blue, green, something other than red...

    Is there a brand name? Are there several and some better than others?

    My wife and I both became Certified Childbirth Educators back when we were of child bearing interest... so I've worked with a lot of midwives, doulas, lactation specialists, obstetricians, etc. We take a chewable B12 and calcium. Tried the Prevagen but it was useless for us. I haven't heard...

    Just to put it out there... have you ever had a tranny with a "shift kit"? Personally, I don't like them.

    What I don't get is why so many people prefer to make pickup bed trailers from short beds. A long bed trailer is way more useful...

    Nobody ever built anything but half tons a while ago, but lately there are people building the heavier trucks. Anything is possible...

    I love that color on a square body. My dad had one back in the day and he painted it to match a stock trailer he bought new, and it became ugly dark green.
