Your engine needs to breathe. The valve cover breather is a critical component that allows crankcase gases to escape while keeping oil and debris where they belong. Over time, these breathers get clogged with sludge, oil residue, and carbon buildup—compromising engine performance and increasing crankcase pressure. If you’ve noticed oil leaks, high oil consumption, or…
Pop the hood of any car and you’ll see them sitting on top of the engine—the stamped metal or cast pieces bolted to the top of the cylinder head. Valve covers.

That wet spot under your truck isn’t transmission fluid—it’s power steering fluid, and it’s coming from a hose somewhere. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already located the culprit and figured out that swapping the hose is the fix. Maybe you’ve already priced the parts and balked at shop labor rates. Good news: replacing a…
The center drag link. One of those components that sits in the middle of your steering linkage, connects your pitman arm to your idler arm, and keeps your front wheels pointed where they’re supposed to go.
