LVMS Pennzoil 400 Drivers Meeting Monster Energy Cup NASCAR
2018 LVMS Pennzoil 400 Drivers Meeting Monster Energy Cup NASCAR
One of the things I was always interested in was the pre-race drivers meeting at NASCAR races. This trip I had a pass to get into the drivers Pre Race Meeting...
One of the perks of having a Neon Garage pass is the ability to be present at the drivers meeting for the Monster Energy Cup race.
We made sure that we were there early enough to get a seat and watch it Sunday morning.
We got to see Jack Roush, Daniel Suarez, Leonard Wood, Chase Elliot, Jimmie Johnson, the list goes on.
It was very cut and dry and very vanilla.
2009 - 2014 F150 Transmission Filter & Fluid Change DIY
2009 - 2014 F150 Transmission Filter & Fluid Change DIY
Relatively quick video on how to change the fluid and filter in your 6r80 transmission in your 2009 - 2014 F150. This should be the same procedure for any other vehicle with this transmission.
The parts I used for this maintenance work are as follows:
Mercon LV Transmission Fluid - 7.5 quarts
Ford Motorcraft Filter a FT-188
Pan Gasket FelPro TOS 18753
The bolts holding the transmission pan on are 8mm.
This is a project that can be done easily in your driveway with hand tools and can save you a ton of money over the dealership doing the work.
It should be noted that I have installed a Performance Automotive PA68404 transmission dipstick. I use this to refill my transmission rather than the ford procedure which requires you to fill the transmission from below. Overall the dipstick worked wonderfully.

World of Concrete 2018 - Met Kasey Kahne - Las Vegas - Putzmeister- Gold...
Had a super time at World of Concrete 2018. I was lucky enough for my employer, Gibbs Construction, to send me there for continuing education.
I took a bunch of classes for continuing education to apply against the requirements of my PMP certification.
While we were there we took in a NHL hockey game, and I had the opportunity to meet Kasey Kahne.
I really look forward to my next trip to World of Concrete.

How to remove and replace an Ice Maker in a Whirlpool French Door Refrig...
Our fridge stopped making ice. It just clicked, so I knew it was something mechanical.I researched the part numbers on whirlpool's part website. This allowed me to ensure that I had the correct part number. I then purchased the required part on Amazon and saved at least 50%.
The video below is the actual "How To" video on removing and replacing that Ice Maker.
If you have any questions, please put them in the comments or email me and I will get right back to you.
