  • Can you run Synthetic oil in a 98 silverado with 5.7 vortec?

    I'm wondering if I can run synthetic oil in my K1500 5.7 vortec with 182k miles, as it has taken regular oil all it's life. I've heard bad things about putting synthetic in older engines (especially vortecs) and high mileage ones that never had synthetic before. It's had castrol GTX standard oil it's whole life, and I just wanted to switch to GTX high mileage synthetic.

  • Best 33" Tire for All Seasons?

    I'm looking for a 33" tire that is good off road in mud, good in snow, and handles the road good. I was thinking either Kelly Safari TSR (285/75R/16) or Firestone Destination M/T. I'd like something with deep tread, but if there's any people with experience with those 2 tires or any recommendations that would be great.

    Also these tires will be put on a '94 Z71 Sierra.

  • Repair cut in tire that holds the tread on? No air leaking just loose tread.?

    Hi all, as I was checking my tire pressure today I noticed a long gash in the sidewall of my passenger front tire. It's a cut that I can slide my about half my index finger in. The interesting part is its cut just above the tire where it holds air, but it's the part of the tire that holds the tread on (Basicially if I put my finger in the cut, I can lift up part of the tire tread). Is it possible to repair this?

  • Sleep button on iPhone 4S opens apps and restarts music? Unique issue?

    Ive never heard or seen of anything like this on the Internet. Basically, whenever I lock my phone, my pressing of the sleep button causes a random app to open just as the phone locks. When I listen to music and I double tap the home button from the lock screen the song will restart, or go to the previous song if the controls (the volume, pause, and previous and next buttons) are still there.

    I've tried restoring to original settings, and that did nothing. My phone is jailbroken on iOS 5.1.1. Any suggestions to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

  • Bringing knives on airplanes from foreign countries, Germany to Canada.?

    My friend is flying back to Canada next week from Germany, and he's telling me abou this switchblade he got. I told him they're illegal, but he is convinced he can get it home, so I'm trying to convince him otherwise, since there could be legal issues.

    I was wondering if, one, there is a fine if he gets caught, or is the knife confinscated and your luggage is torn apart when they try to find it.

    Second, he thinks magnets he bought will protect the knife from being picked up in the x-ray scanners at the airport, is this true, because it sounds unreasonable to me.

    I think there is a fine for bringing illegal knives into Canada, but I'm not 100% sure, I said there was a fine and they take the knife. Is anything he said true?

  • Bring tobacco from the US into Canada?

    Im now legal age to purchase tobacco products in the US, but still not old enough in Canada, but I'm confused as the Canadian Border Patrol states;

    If you are 18 years of age or over, you are allowed to bring in all of the following amounts of tobacco products into Canada free of duty and taxes within your personal exemption:

    200 cigarettes;

    50 cigars;

    200 grams of manufactured tobacco; and

    200 tobacco sticks.

    If you include cigarettes, tobacco sticks or manufactured tobacco in your personal exemption, a partial exemption only may apply. You will have to pay a special duty on these products unless they have an excise stamp “DUTY PAID CANADA DROIT ACQUITTÉ.” You will find Canadian-made products sold at duty-free shops marked this way. You can speed up your clearance by having your tobacco products available for inspection when you arrive.

    You have to be 19 in my Provence to buy tobacco, but it says here after 48 hours I'm clear to bring it in. Is this a legal loophole or will they confinscate the tobacco when I declare it and they see I'm not 19? Just looking for clarification.

  • Bringing Tobacco Products into Canada?

    I was told by a friend it's possible for me (age 18) I can purchase tobacco products in the United States or Europe and bring them back into Canada, because 18 is the age to purchase them in the US and Europe. Does this mean if I went to the US I could buy Cigarettes or Cigars and bring them back to Canada, even though I'm 18 and you need to be 19 to buy them in Canada?

  • Chaucer essay proof-read, need a few more ideas?

    this is my essay so far, but i seem to have ran out of ideas to write on. Any pointers or ideas i could continue this with?

    Satire is a literary technique used by many authors and writers to criticize society. Geoffrey Chaucer is a well known Middle English writer, mostly for his satire in The Canterbury Tales. They are a collection of stories and characters from his time. He also is known for being one of the first writers to use satire effectively. Chaucer satires almost every element of his time, including the medieval church and religion

    Geoffrey Chaucer is well known for being one of the first writers to use satire effectively, by making it so only certain people will understand his use of satire, while others will not. His early works involved using rhyme and rhymes in

    Religion was of most importance in medieval life. Despite what ones religion was, most people went to church. The holy men that ran the church were considered trustworthy and honorable. However, in The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer shows each member of the church as being corrupt. The Prologue describes everyone on the pilgrimage. Among the pilgrims is a Friar, he makes his living through begging. His followers confess their sins to him, and for taking away their sins they give the Friar money. This satirizes the greediness of the friar.

  • PS3 data transfer from old broken ps3 to new slim one?

    Hi all, I had the first generation of the slim ps3, worked great for almost 4 years. But one day it just stopped working, as in it wouldn't power up, no lights or anything. Make a long story short, my warranty had expired, so I just went out yesterday and bought a 500 gig new edition of the slim playstation. Now my question is, is there any way I can get all of my data from my old non working PS3 to my new one, or is it not possible? I had downloaded several games, not to mention lots of game progress.
