Time to shop around!

This. They ALL stick it to you within a year or two of your first policy with them. Over the last 30+ years, my wife and I have been with every major insurance company at least once, some twice, and a few lesser known companies as well. They all play the same game... they lure you in with a...

Funny how our expectations have changed. I clearly remember how when my dad bought his new '70 Chevy C-10 pickup (small block V8 - 305), I remember hearing all my mom & dad's relatives saying what a great engine it was and that it should last for at least 100,000 miles. That WAS the...

Yeah, we're on TECO power. I had no idea Duke energy was that much more expensive. We replaced our leaky roof ~8yrs ago with a metal roof, over an insulated rubber mat, over plywood, which covers a large attic space with an attic fan at one end which automatically cuts on at 100*+ temps...

Dude! Either you live in a freaking gigantic house, or you need better insulation and a better heat pump! That's insane! Our house *is* only ~1500 sf, but it's fairly well insulated and we've replaced all the windows with double paned glass.

What's the upcharge between a 3.6L Dodge Ram and a 5.7L Dodge Ram? Should be a similar difference. Glancing at their vehicle builder, I'm seeing a $3,000 upcharge between the 3.6L and the 5.7L. You can't really compare the 392 (a much more expensive engine, in a very limited run that...

THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE. Freaking retarded government regulations are the reason. I (and I bet many other thousands of Gladiator buyers) would have HAPPILY paid an additional $4-5k for the base 5.7L V8. And I seriously doubt we'd see any loss of overall mpg. Especially once you go to 37"+...

True, we hardly use any electric keeping our house warm over the winter, but we have ~4 months a year that the temperature barely drops below 80*, and that's only just shortly before daybreak. You can bet your azz we're running the AC nonstop during those months.

? Holy smokes man! Here in Florida my annual power bill is only ~$2k, and between me and my wife we only burn ~$2500‐$3000 annually in gas at the very most. And that's with me driving my JTR 20 miles each way to/from work. It would take a LONG LONG time to recoup the costs of going solar &...

Fugly IMO.

No, you misunderstood me. I totally agree with you. I was trying to say that ONLY those who trade in for a new vehicle every 3-4 yrs will possibly see a use for an EV or PHEV. Most of us keep our vehicles much longer, which means that their value will be nearing that of mere scrap metal...

Right! It might not hurt you too much if you only keep your new 4XE for 3-4 years and then trade it in for a new one before the batteries become an issue, but man... that upcoming ~$13-15k new battery expense is REALLY gonna put a damper on the sale or trade-in value of your 10-12 year old...

2020 Stock JTR w/~35k miles. 3.6L gas, auto transmission, and a smart right foot. Like an old trooper once told my brother after pulling him over for speeding... "Son, ya got ta get 'cher foot out 'ta carburetor. "

I recently bought a *loaded* 2020 JTR (literally every option except trail rails) with just 29k miles on it for ~$30,000 less than what a new one similarly loaded would cost. I think we're seeing this temporary surplus at low prices because of a few economic factors (high interest rates due to...

It's behind the rear seats. Center. Luis

Agreed. It's not making the cars next to me vibrate, but it thumps pretty good IMO. Luis

This is the way. 7mm silicone fuel line. Costs ~$15 and takes ~20 minutes to install. No more leaks. Luis

There's a thread here somewhere on making one. Iirc, you save ~$30-$40 doing it yourself. For me it was worth it to just buy it pre-made and save myself the time and effort of hunting down the components, assembling it, and then figuring out the install. Luis

You can search & find instructions on the parts & installation on the forums, but if you're lazy or time constrained like me, you can contact "Carpemaur1" on ebay and he will sell you a harness/relay that is (IMO) factory OEM quality that is truly "plug & play" with EXCELLENT instructions on how...
