  4. Does anyone get this smell? Diesel with fuel additive.

    After I had the HPFP replaced I started using Hotshots additive. At roughly the same time I had my oil changed at the dealer and the knucklehead mechanic spilled oil all over the driver side engine compartment (That’s another frustrating story). Initially there was a distinct synthetic burning...

    Who says it doesn’t rain in Southern California… Iā€˜ve been traversing several deep water crossings in my mall crawler lately.

    Not sure if there is an issue with my ecodiesel. After towing, I back my truck and trailer down the drive way. The driveway is pretty steep. I sometimes park the truck partially inclined so I can unload the trailer. After unloading, when I start the truck back up to put the trailer away, oil...
  13. Hill descent mode

    I was out this weekend scouting camp sites on the north side of Palomar Mountain. I was with a buddy with a Tremor F250. Obviously a less, but impressively capable vehicle, I had to slow down because his wife was getting tossed around from the stiffer suspension. As we started our descent to...
  14. Anyone else feel this way?

    Not a good combo. My youngest is learning and this Jeep platform is not the best. Wanders, touchy gas pedal in the 2.0, vague steering in the JT, always wanting to take her hand off the wheel to wave at other jeep ?. Not very good for student drivers. Oh, and limited places to stick the magnetic...
