Agreed. I have had countless hot rods over the years as well as a JK with LS3 conversion and 6L80 trans. I swear by heat shields and the newer foil backed products to keep things from overheating. It's not expensive, it's easy to use, and makes a world of difference in vehicles. Just bought a...

Number one killer of batteries in engine compartments is heat. Aluminum foil insulation also reduces radiated heat.

You have some values that are above average but remember how you arrive at an average; a bunch of highs and a bunch of lows. Don't see anything there to worry about. New engine with warranty. Go drive it and have fun.

I agree with you. I never stop with customer service agents. I keep going up the chain until I get someone who cares enough to work with me. I have gone to the CEO of Home Depot and a couple other company's when I believed I was right and the company was ignoring or blowing me off. And I...

Not bashing the guys work here but I question the macro result he appears to assign to all tire brands that "narrow is better than wider". He could only make that conclusion if he tested all brands of tires equally. What he got was a data point, not a true conclusion. Various things like...

I do understand where you are coming from but have to draw line some place. As long as China gets favorable treatment by our government and continues to steal designs that American companies paid for our own companies will suffer. This is a huge problem. Price is but one factor to use when...

I don't care what the price is, I refuse to buy products that use stolen designs another company paid for. China can go broke for all I care. Vevor is a site for stuff copied from someone else's design and manufactured using slave or cheap labor. Support American manufacturers. Not preaching...

I have the Dewalt inflator. Didn't buy it to air tires up and down really, just wanted something to quickly be available should I need to inflate something or add to a low tire. One of my boat trailer tires has very slow leak so use the inflator to bring it up to pressure before use. The thing...

The issue of fluid dynamics and aerodynamics is interesting to me. I have had big hp hot rods of all kinds as well as the LS converted Jeep Wrangler and have learned some beneficial facts over the years when it comes to cooling. I'm retired but was trained as a civil-structural engineer so the...

I had Pintlers on my JK for five years. My son has it now and the wheel finish has not failed at all. AEV says these wheels should not be powder coated so they paint them instead. It's a good finish but no protective film is perfect long term. If you are concerned about the corrosion, I would...

I tend to agree with your comment here. I have a JT now after having a ZR2 and before that, a JK with LS3 and 6L80 trans. When I had the JK, the car had an aftermarket radiator that did not cool well. I did a lot of research on my own to figure out what was going on and why the car would not...

I stand corrected, but the focus of my post is valid.

Actually, not surprising at all. You don't think Quadratec and Rough Country and many more suppliers all have their own factories to make their brand specific products, do you? Whirlpool makes most of the washing machines and other home products today and tags them with other companies brands...

Not sure the seats actually lock as I tilted my JT up severely to one side and I could still access the cargo storage area under seat. Maybe I didn't have it titled on the roll axis enough. It's tempting to put all one's recovery gear and such under the rear seat and out of sight. But as you...

You have 79 psi of oil pressure? Seriously?

What ShadowsPapa said is spot on. I had a JK with LS conversion and 6L80 trans previously and did a lot of testing (retired Civil/Structural Engineer) to see how to get better airflow thru the grille. Airflow as it affects the front of a Jeep is important. Basically, a stock Jeep is about as...

I have had both in both Jeeps and a Colorado ZR2. I like them both, but on long trips in the summer I will take cloth seats. Leather cleans easier but not by much. My old butt seems to prefer cloth so when I bought my Gladiator that is what I wanted.

That is a good price. If he confirmed it, jump on it.
