At $1,200 no way two compressors.

Eddie, my dad's 61 Chevrolet Parkwood wagon had a Powerglide. 283 V8. It leaked trans fluid. I don't know if it was a cast iron or aluminum case.

I was referring to automated signals on roads, and intersections not the vehicle indicators.

Re; shift quadrants and "Total Recall" A few of the cars in the movie were real GM show car prototypes. Until 1962. reverse was at the bottom on GM's except the Chevrolet 2 speed Powerglide and the Turboglide which had hill retard. It was a failure. The torque converter vanes moved for the...

A wide fridge or freezer door would infringe on our island chairs. A deep SxS is better than a counter depth model, and less expensive.

Software and firmware hacking is another concern I have with self driving cars and other automated systems. Traffic signaling, etc.

Chargers are one of the most stolen cars too.

Only GE Monogram or Cafe' models have dual cooling. One compressor, two evaporators. The rest use a damper door.

I just saw this news reel; Waymo car seen by camera passing school bus with door open and students boarding.

Well, GE or a Whirlpool product. Neighbors have been lucky so far for about 61/2 years with their French door Samsung. It has air vents in the sides though so needs to breathe. They modified the fridge niche in a remodel by getting a slightly narrower adjacent pantry cabinet. I saw a Kenmore...

Matt, our frontage is 60 feet to the sidewalk. How many 4 gallon flushes would it take to push crap to the street?

Matt, old cars without a serpentine belt didn't have a tensioner. Once you tightened down the sliding mounts, they were fixed. WP used a beefy toothed belt. Delco automotive distributors had wires that moved as timing advanced and retarded by the centrifugal springs. WP had to put the wig wag...

The designer of the equipment didn't say why he treated the tubes. A Chicago ear bud designer was there too. He does custom ones and are single pole design drivers. A micro computer for each ear. Prices start at $4,500 and up. He did a pair form the lawyer who defended the Ferguson case in St...

Ah, makes sense TAG! Our main floor closet waste is copper from 1968 to the cast iron soil stack with a rather long lateral section. Never been a problem, but the 2017 Kohler toilet is. Not a low end, but a one piece ordered through an authorized independent dealer. The old Kohler two piece...
