Re: Transmission Issue

I don't know, but could this have to do with the torque converter not locking up when the fluid is cold?

Re: DSLR cameras

For Canon, there is a cheap 50mm 1.8 lens that you can get for around $100, much cheaper than other options, and while it's not the highest quality we've been using it exclusively on our camera for years and love it.

Re: Air Filter

I had the amsoil filter the last few years, works just fine, although I've never been satisfied with the cleaning process; it is difficult to get really clean, I always feel like it's still dirty. If you are a perfectionist this may be a problem. On the other hand, they are cheap enough to replace s...

Re: leaking head gasket

I've been reading an old XOC post saying you can fix this with a $2 o-ring from the hardware store. Still need to look more into it and check other areas for leaks

Re: leaking head gasket

The crap you see could be just moisture mixing with the oil. This being caused by the motor not warming up fully and shutting the motor down before the moisture evaporates. Moisture will trickle down to the bottom eventually. I am holding out hope that this is what it is... being ten minutes away f...

Re: Which muffler is best?

I am in the market for one as well, mine is in bad shape. I've read a lot of glowing praise for gibson on various forums, but haven't heard it myself.
