Closed yesterday to meet a very special Engine. This 1941 made on November American Locomotive Company Challenger Model (otherwise known as Union Pacific Big Boy) Only 25 were built. This was the life bucket list for the owner of repair this page. This a 4-8-8-4 engine wheel lay out having the sets of 8 being the power wheels that propell this 1,189,500 lb giant to speeds up to 80 mph! Four steam pistons in total produce between 6,290-7,000 horse power that is more power han 5 Bugatti Varons put together!
Before getting into cars I have had my love for trains as a child. Early memories of seeing steam giants at Strausburg rail road sparked my interest into machinery. It is a neat thing to see how everything works with many moving parts and sounds that make it seem like a mechanical dinosaur. It was nice to finally see this example in person and having a piece of my grandfather with me at this event and a way to make this visit complete. (Rail road hat) Just once feeling like 5 years old once again.

Other than this being the first personal thing share on the repair page I would like to remind everyone July 4th to the 7th the garage will be close to celebration America's 250th birthday. Thank you for you patience in advance.

Manufactures don't want you changing your fluids even though the manual says its lifetime or there is no measure dip stick for it. For this 2015 Toyota Corolla LE the owner made a great choice to get the second car to have CVT fluid changed. Yes a Constant Variable Transmission is serviceable. The fill plug is in a area that the left front wheel has to be removed as well as the undercover and splash shield. Using a scan tool and a manual hand pump filling then checking the level of fluid is easy. No everybody has a scanner but getting one that reads transmission temperature is what needs to be seen. Specs are available via Haynes or online by a Toyota spec source.

It's always a great idea to change the fluids at a thirty thousand interval amount. Waiting too long to finally just do it for the first time outside of those intervals could I actually harm the internals and the transmission. Fluid breaks down over time add it with the summer heat could calls overheating issues which could overheat internal moving parts that could break right in the middle of a summer trip. Which could hamper your time of enjoyment off of work. For additional services in estimates, please message here to see when to get your car ready for your summer trip.

Summer is on the way and even when the temperature is cold in the morning your going to need the air conditioning to work when its mid day. Pennsylvania seasons change by the hour so don't sweat it literally. This 2005 Subaru Forester L.L. Bean had a bad compressor clutch. The compressor was replaced as also the condesor, thermal expansion valve, and service port lines. This is done to keep the warranty for the compressor. On a side note first generation Foresters have the thermal expansion valve inside on the evaporator core which is accessible removing the glove box and brackets not removing the whole dashboard. Great concept but assembling was tricky.
