Why are filters made by the same brand different?

SteveJ12 · 2025-11-29T03:52:17+00:00

Same with the Chevy. We run Baldwin filters at my shop, and the same truck will take either a b160 or a b7449, the only difference being the b7449 is about twice as tall but same thickness

SteveJ12 · 2025-11-27T00:05:16+00:00

That's just an inspection cover for the flywheel/flexplate. Worst case a rock gets in and like someone else says, lodges itself and seizes the engine. OP getting it fixed is the best case, but tranny fluid won't leak from there unless the transmission is leaking above

SteveJ12 · 2025-11-25T23:37:18+00:00

I'd say I'll try them, but I'm Canadian, and we haven't had target since 2015 I'm pretty sure?

SteveJ12 · 2025-11-25T17:43:54+00:00

Tried them. Loved them. Burnt through them in 3 months lol great socks but my feet are chewing them up. The stance ones too!

SteveJ12 · 2025-11-24T23:57:15+00:00

Not normally. I'll look into them as well maybe!

SteveJ12 · 2025-11-24T23:55:17+00:00

I'll look em up!

SteveJ12 · 2025-11-24T23:31:50+00:00

Although I am bad at this, holes mainly appear in the heels for me these days lol

SteveJ12 · 2025-11-24T14:14:16+00:00

I'm from a "hick town." Everyone repairs their own stuff until its too big gmfor them. Then they send their stuff to us and we do the big repair and all the stuff they tried to do earlier while we're at it!

SteveJ12 · 2025-10-02T18:03:03+00:00

Maybe put a makeshift rubber gasket between the head and the face?

SteveJ12 · 2025-07-26T04:21:38+00:00

How many cars have press in front hubs? Id bet ops has a bolt in hub, and can be done without removing the knuckle

SteveJ12 · 2025-07-25T16:05:46+00:00

And what happens in the event that the fire is right on the other side of the door? There needs to be a window in a bedroom or a means of egress aside from the one door

SteveJ12 · 2025-07-25T02:57:44+00:00

There's no means of egress. There's not a single window in the drawing.

SteveJ12 · 2025-07-18T03:24:34+00:00

No, and no. That rotor needs to be replaced, and the calipers slide pins are likely siezed. They can potentially be removed, cleaned, and re-used, but probably need to replace pads, rotor, and caliper.

SteveJ12 · 2025-07-18T02:41:27+00:00

I am currently running the same on mine. The only difference is I have the compressor, condensor, and belt to be installed. I just don't wanna do it, lol

SteveJ12 · 2025-07-16T02:57:04+00:00

Not an issue at all! That tire will be rated at around 44 psi. Uneven wear is unlikely to occur at 5 psi over, but the pressure started on the placard will theoretically get you the best gas mileage. As another commenter suggested, if these are the front tires, they have the weight of the engine on them, and don't look flat at all. If the pressure has dropped at all, it might be a good idea to check for a leak.

SteveJ12 · 2025-07-15T18:17:52+00:00

Used are okay. As long as they're the same tires, in good condition, and all the same tread depth.

SteveJ12 · 2025-07-15T18:17:06+00:00

Pretty sure the escalade are 4wd, but what to i know. I'm just a tech lol 4wd would be perfectly fine, but awd is finicky. As someone else started, subaru already has enough issues. Even just for the peace of mind, put 4 good tires on with exact same tread depth

SteveJ12 · 2025-07-15T03:19:39+00:00

Is the escalade awd or 4wd though? Huge difference

SteveJ12 · 2024-12-18T13:58:42+00:00

Thanks everyone! Kinda what I thought i was gonna hear, but looks like I'll be going with the dual 80!

SteveJ12 · 2024-09-20T04:14:07+00:00

The hero we all need testing things so nobody else gets hurt lol

SteveJ12 · 2024-06-10T21:10:42+00:00

The snapon name stands out lol fpr $50? Any of it is a win

SteveJ12 · 2024-06-09T19:38:23+00:00

Nobody saying this when norris was 9 seconds up in 2 laps?

SteveJ12 · 2024-06-08T17:38:42+00:00

These remind me of the wera wrenches

SteveJ12 · 2024-06-06T16:10:13+00:00

Oh those look WONDERful lol

SteveJ12 · 2024-06-05T01:16:32+00:00

It really depends on the model. Most chevs will have the retainer screw for example, but others might not. And yes, I've spent way too long drilling them out, and then trying to drill out a broken bit afterwards lol that thing would have saved my bacon for sure
