Is the above pictured your setup? I was just curious how you wired that all up. I have a car that i drive at most 500 miles a year but keep it plugged in almost always. Battery is 12 years old no issues. I'd like to get my Jeep wired like yours but was curious how you did it. Less questioning...

My only hate I'll throw at discount tire is their "Will not repair a tire that is 10 years or older". I brought in a tire that was 9.5 years old and they wouldn't touch it. If your policy isn't 10 years advertise 9.5 years or 9 years or what ever it may be. They want to sell tires and their...

Did you do all that legwork for my 1 question? Dang! My hat is off to you! If my reading and numbers are right that's 68 failures on 69,201 vehicles. Hum. Reading the fix description makes me question ever doing the fix. I do not smell slipping or have not observed any issues in 60k miles on...

Ditto, a 1996 Ford Rnager 2.3L 2wd. Learned to drive in ND winters with a light 2wd manual pickup, trial by fire that is. Made me learn how valuable winter tires are. I'll take a 2wd pickup with winter tires over anything 4wd with bridgestone dulars. The tires that came on my Overland are...

I've read for 3 years about how the flash is "horrible" and "handcippaing'. I've never noticed it. Is it a problem in theory or has it been documented to reduce output? Any one have a dyno chart before and after flash? The TSB's and literature lead me to believe that it modifys nothing unless...

Yeah, it's not great. It's drive able but not great. I'm subject to the recall, I'm very tempted to see if i can get someone to replace the clutch with parts I provide and go aftermarket. I haven't figured out what I'm going to do yet.

Oopps, didn't mean to touch a nerve. Sorry. Your right I dont' drive there. The closest I've traveled regularly to your area is Davenport & Cedar rapids. I will say the worst area for driver's I've ever been is Buffalo NY. Between Rochester and Erie my temper was tested. That was AFTER driving...

This isn't an argumentative question but I would just love to know what i'm getting into with my MT, What data? Is there data on transmission failure rates? Are we talking the clutch recall? If we are talking the clutch recall, is that a fair data point? At any point anything can be subject to a...

OH NO! now your 18 feet further from your destination! Chances are aggressive driver McGee is going to switch out in a couple min than back in. No skin off my back, I'm not in a race where position matters. Also i leave more than 17 feet usually like 2-3 lengths.

You can't ask what is better (an objective question) and then request a subjective answer. That's just asking for a poo storm. Manual. I don't care if the auto is objectively better in every aspect across the board. If it doesn't have a 3rd pedal and a big ol stick, I don't like driving it...

This feature is great for daycare pickup to keep the car warm for the little monsters. Esp for us knuckleheads that enjoy MTs that don't get autostart.

What else is there? I don't have a fairy godmother in my engine putting magic dust on the metal parts. Someone has to answer you. Yes I would, having lived with ESS for 4 years I'd pay $500 for it. Especially considering how car companies work they would make the non-ess versionwith a crappier...

It's not bad with a Manual in my 4 years of ownership I've only had it cause weird situation twice. Both times all that resulted was being slow away from a light by 5 seconds. Honestly the system with a MT opens up a lot of situations where it's really nice. ESS triggers and you want engine to...

I'll just echo tires. With winter driving traction poor performance is almost always tires. There isn't a whole lot the car can do to improve on snow/ice period. 4wd or AWD helps you get going but doesn't help you stop or steer. The Falken AT3s on tire rack have an 85 foot stopping distance on...

I really like the grab bar drop in storage tray and I also got an organizer for the center console. Less necessary was an aftermarket antenna to get rid of the obnoxious whip that comes stock. I also got some sill guards to help just keep the sill area looking nicer longer. Scratched sills tend...

I remember the first tank being awful mileage the 2nd tank was only slightly better. After1k miles my mileage was significantly better but varies a lot based on fuel and conditions. Winter fuel sucks. Bucking the wind sucks. I've hit some upper 20s driving 58 mph for 200+ miles. My usual around...

Yeah quick type didn't want to include details. Stuck, poor word, inconvenienced may be better? Impacted better yet? Going around a left hand turn and being heavy on the throttle with open or an unlocked rear you'll start to spin the inside tire. LSD is providing always providing benefit. Heck...

That's awesome that people still want to learn and drive manual. A few hours north of you in a city, i have to drive my vehicles in to service bays often because the techs can't drive manual.

My advice is where are you most likely to get stuck? Is it driving around every day or in the thick of a trail? For my use LSD is exactly what i need because it's always working but i don't wheel or rock crawl. I respectfully disagree, living in snow and ice i get more benefit from the LSD in...

The secret to being a happy WRX owner, 12 year happy owner here, is never going on a single WRX forum and jut enjoy the car, preferably in stock form. Funny part is with the little bit of weight reduction i did my WRX has more payload than my jeep.... let that sink in. I don't offroad like most...
