That was my thinking. Hopefully I get 8-10 years out of it, but if I only get 5 then I'll start to slowly replace the with red, as GG called it, as they die.

One regular drill and small impact driver came in a 4-tool kit with a battery and charger. I then bought a hammer drill, tool only. The large impact is of the lug-nut variety. I have a Jolt bluetooth speak that I really like for the garage. I made the mistake of suggesting my wife use once. I...

I've got a family 5. I don't really have a passion for riding, but I enjoy it. I continue to ride because I trust in my driving skills. I'm good at controlling my vehicle, as I'm sure all of us on this site are. But more importantly, I'm very good at observing my surroundings and predicting...

My 2017 Ram 5.7L was getting 13.8L/100kms when I started to baby it. 15.8L/100kms previously. I can only go by the claimed L/100kms for the diesel, but combined they claim 8.8L/100kms. That's a good savings, but having never driven a diesel, your braking my heart with all this talk of...

Good point.

I just replaced all my 20v Dewalt cordless tools with Kobalt 24v after my dad found them at a liquidation centre in Brantford. These are being liquidated through Rona as well, but the liquidation centre has them cheaper. Roughly 33% of the full price whereas Rona is about 50% or less depending...

Can't be many of those bikes registered in the GTA in that colour and year. Shouldn't be difficult to narrow it down, then knock on some doors. My guess is that it's the one that just reported his bike stolen after convincing a friend to alibi him.

Yeah, not highway, but country roads with a few turns. I could take the 403, but it wouldn't save time, and I prefer the view in the country. I also have a heavy foot. Is that good, or bad, where this DPF is concerned?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I didn't know about this. I'll look more into it so I can understand it and hopefully prolong it's life. My commute is 25 minutes. Not sure if that will be enough. I'll see what I can find out.

The reason I can't do that is insurance. I already pay for a bike in addition to a four-tired vehicle. I wouldn't be able to insure all three. My wife also has a minivan. I can fit a lot of cars in my drive, but re-arranging them would become a hassel. The Mazda is a standard, and my wife...

I don't know what a yellow sticker is, and it'll be personal use, so I guess that's not a concern. I can't seem to find if the DPF and/or EGR are part of a safety, but if I were to delete it would be after the safety, and I'd already realized I'd have to keep them in case I ever had to...

Does anyone have experience, and advice, for the Dodge Ecodiesel? I was warned against them so did a little research, since I'm in the market for the most fuel efficient truck I can afford. The Ecodiesel is more efficient then the v6 RAM and v6 Fords, and those Fords have a lot of issue I've...

I'll look into. Thanks! Seems cheap, though. I don't think I can walk into a Home Depot anymore without leaving an arm and a leg behind.

Mine are fibreglass with aluminum frames. I'd guess they are 30+ years old, but I inherited them, so I can't be sure. The only issue I've had in my 5+ years here is the chain on the motor has come off once, and the bracket that holds the chain has broken. I used a welder and junk-drawer finds to...

Interesting. I have trouble picking out sounds, so if I'm in a crowded room, or there's a little background noise, it's very difficult for me to hear speech. The sounds are just jumbled together. But I hear everything. My wife and I are in a constant battle. I turn the volume up to hear the...

Back in '08, when I got back into riding, I had my insurance company at the time, TD, quote several bikes for me to get an idea of cost before purchasing a bike. One of the bikes was a 1000 Ninja, which was somewhere around $2000/year. With the assumption that was about as high as it would get...

I believe it because TD is VERY overpriced. I use a broker to find the best rates.

Good to know. Thanks.

I sold my 2017 Ram Sport when the gas prices first shot up to 1.70/liter. I expected they'd keep going up, and my commute was already at $95/week at 1.65/liter. I went and bought a crappy little Mazda3 for the fuel economy. :cry: Now I find out about the F150 v6 with eco-boost getting from 8 to...
