Finally got around to doing the Train Horn Mod on the dryer buzzer. Now that damn washer knows when its crowding me in the laundry room.

Cat is not real fond of it tho since the litter box is on the other side

Will a bullydog programmer allow my dryer to exceed the spin limit governor? Can I change the drum size and use the programmer to correct the spin RPM? My appliance stealer said if I do that I'll void my warranty - what's up with that? Should I revert it back to stock when the repairman comes around?

What's the best oil to lube my dryer bearings with?

I wondering about a new dryer. Probably get the top loader. I'll wait until the front load is proven before I get one of those. Salesman said it would cost $350.00 with delivery, am I getting ripped off?

Oh, and I can't make my mind up, should I get the maytag or whirlpool? I don't want one of those foreign import dryers. Help me decide.

Which one is better, the 6.2 joule or the 5.0 megaton? I'm not buying it for economy, it's a dryer after all, but I was wondering which size will give me more torque when I load it up full of socks?

This is what happened to my dryer when an aggressive tune was used + a tank of mom n pop's shop's bad fuel.
Be careful fellas.

It wasn't the tune. You altered the programing that takes the one sock when you added the "tune"................ Your dealer is part of the conspiracy.

Also do I have to install a drain? My washer is right by the door, I was wondering if that would work to route the water out.

Any help would be appreciated.
Aries mats are much better when used with household appliances. If we were talking vehicle based application I would recommend the Weathertech mats.

I wanted to share that my dryer runs better on E85 electricity. The power company charges less, and it dries clothes faster. It does seem to eat a few more socks and requires more frequent lint changes, but its worth it!

Also, this is an old trick that I wouldn't recommend on a truck, but when you first get a new dryer, "undercoat" it with a bottle of slick 50. Just dump it into an empty dryer and set on high for a full cycle. Clothes just fly out of there after!

Post your drying time slips or it never happened.
