  1. What octane gas do you guys run

    There is a lot of misinformation about "premium" fuel. It is not premium, it simply has additives that prevent it from detonating due to compression (like diesel engines). The fuel companies/ suppliers are making a ton of money off the terminology and gullible people, they could probably sell it...
  2. What octane gas do you guys run

    Where is 93 the same price as 87? Around Marxsachusetts 93 is always 40 cents per gallon more.
  3. Car and Driver has posted a 10,000 mile update to their long term Gladiator review. Pretty negative

    great point my 15 Tacoma with the 4 liter was very slow compared my 2020 gladiator
  4. Dealers sticking to prices more?

    It seems to be across brands in the name of "chip shortage".
  5. Car and Driver has posted a 10,000 mile update to their long term Gladiator review. Pretty negative

    Is the aluminum box a recall? How do I tell if my 2020 S has it?
  6. Car and Driver has posted a 10,000 mile update to their long term Gladiator review. Pretty negative

    Car and Driver gave the 1983 car of the year award to the Renault Alliance. Need we consider more?
  7. Only three pet peeves about my Gladiator Sport

    For a cold start you are correct, after a brief shutdown (under 2 minutes) there is still enough oil up top and on the cylinder walls to start with no issue. I didn't like it at first, and on a stop and go commute I shut it off, but I do notice the fuel savings on my fairly rural runs around...
  8. Disappointed and sad . My gladiator is dead and sold

    good point, the vehicles are apples and oranges
  9. Disappointed and sad . My gladiator is dead and sold

    I hope you have better luck with Honda than I did. My 82 accord was fine. 87 accord - devoured rotors (5 sets in less than 70 k miles) dealer told me not to bring it back again. I found the alloy wheel was not true after I had to start looking for the trouble myself. The pgm fi light came on at...
  10. Adaptive Cruise Control: yay or nay?

    No, I would notice I was gaining on the vehicle in front and take appropriate action. I use Cruise so I don't have to keep looking at a speedometer.
  11. Jeep destroyed by flat tow in 4Lo

    The 30 k is crazy. The BMW engines that self destruct due to timing chain guide failure are about 12k to fix and 17 k for replacement
  12. Jeep destroyed by flat tow in 4Lo

    I’m not sure I believe this. Was he towing it with something that has 50k ft-lbs of torque? There is no chance, even the dumbest driver in the road, would not know something was wrong. If you parked that Jeep on a 100% grade (45 degrees), with it in 4 low and fist gear, it wouldn’t move.
  13. Is my brother making the wrong move?

    Yes, big mistake. If he wants/needs a full size truck he should get a Sierra/Silverado not the Ram. If he wants an awesome and fun utility vehicle he should get the Gladiator. My friends with Rams drool over my gladiator and Sierra, especially when they are at the gas station.
  14. Adaptive Cruise Control: yay or nay?

    It is not broken on my JT or my wife’s RX350 (or on a dozen rental cars). It works just fine and I like regular CC far better. I keep the ACC desensitized to avoid being unwittingly slowed down
  15. Adaptive Cruise Control: yay or nay?

    I have it and I defer to regular CC and I use CC probably more than most people.
  16. Adaptive Cruise Control: yay or nay?

    If there are street lights do you really need high beams ?
  17. Adaptive Cruise Control: yay or nay?

    Big thumbs down on all ACC. On a not so busy highway it is horrible. Here is the scenario - CC set to 73 mph, driving in the Right lane and you are approaching another vehicle that is going say 65. ACC slows you down and you don’t realize it for a period of time a you are lulled into just...
  18. Torque Wrench

    Please tell me how you can compare the two? If you tighten something with one, the second one will not necessarily tell you anything g if the first one was out of calibration and over tightened the bolt. Testing a torque wrench for proper calibration require more than another torques wrench.
  19. Long night, weird question....

    They were up to no good. If you can afford it, I recommend moving. I know crime happens everywhere bu what you described doesn’t happen everywhere.
