I honestly still don't get the extreme differences being portrayed. - You drop a pan, change a filter and gasket, bolt a pan back with proper torque spec. Don't allow any contamination. > I say No different than 'old school'. - You fill through a filler plug rather than a dipstick tube. > I...

Great information. - I THOUGHT the gasket and fasteners are re-usable. - I DIDN'T know it requires a re-flash. I've seen that in none of the video's I've watched. Do you have a reference or video for this? - I'm at about 48k Miles. I will try to get a sample sent to Blackstone.

Thanks for the input! I've worked under plenty of hot vehicles, but the temp checking procedure is done up top, not underneath. I have watched the video's. This guy does exactly what I outlined as far as shifting through the gears: (start at 11:16 for shifting instruction) I do question the...

Agree that diesel oil turning black is an indicator of nothing and it happens quick. I would offer a counter point to: "Only you know the conditions such as temperatures, loads, speeds driven, etc." - That's exactly what the oil life monitor does. The only way to get more accurate intervals is...

Reviving this thread as I don't understand a few items regarding ZF transmission service. I don't want a flush, and I don't want a dealer involved. So my questions are: 1) I have read two options for filter replacement. One says the filter is bolted to the pan, so you just replace the filter...

Count me as a Wavian fan. I own and have used both Wavian and Sceptre and settled on Wavian as the best for me. - Better, much quicker filling with proper spout. (Get a proper NOT compliant version) - FAR less swelling in altitude and heat. - Much better sealing. - More durable and long...

Indeed, shady. It's the radio version of a car dealership. I got off their wheel after a crazy frustrating waste of my time 10 or so years ago.

Goodness, so much passion about a car wash.... Agreed, never given a car wash this much thought. I'm sure our Texas pinstriping is similar. I've found my three step process works well to remove most debris from the paint. Start with about two miles of Mesquite to knock off the big chunks, a...

Just say no to Japanese El Camino's.....;)

I've been reading the Bronco forum and there's no shortage of Jeep bashing. I'm of the opinion that blind loyalty to an automotive brand is an illogical fallacy.

That made me laugh. The Yutes may not get your Yute reference either :)!! It's 30 years old!

- You don't want to power the fridge via the onboard 115v plug. It only runs when the ignition is on. - An auxiliary battery of some type is a good recommendation. Then charge that battery via the onboard 115v outlet. You can look at anything from a sophisticated dual battery setup (look at...

I've no doubt this happens, especially when the first question from the service writer asks if you bought the vehicle there. I believe I've been on the receiving end of this. However, I think there are dealerships that also cater to folks that are unhappy with their current dealer and use the...

I can think of two instances of similar events. 1) Shot a round of sporting clays with a buddy. We got back to the parking lot and I noticed his Ford Explorer running. I jokingly asked if he was trying to keep it cool inside. 2) I was fishing out of Venice Louisiana and started talking to a guy...

I just did a build and price on the website. I started with a Rubicon that defaults to 4.1 gears and gas engine. The only thing I changed was selecting the 3.0 Turbo Diesel which immediately and automatically changes "3 things": - Deletes manual transmission - Adds Auto transmission - Deletes...

Your question was "Do you like it?" Since I prefer function over form, in theory I do like it. Had the question been "Do you like the look?" I would say it's generally pretty cool. Had the question been "Do you like the fender flares?" I would say that Ford could do a better job. There's...

I wasn't so much comparing the specifications of the Bronco to the Wrangler as pointing out that until Bronco, Jeep's largest tire offering was 33". Now, because Sasquatch, Jeep offers 35" tires.

400+ Horsepower 37" tires 14" wheel travel 13.1" ground clearance Seems pretty cool to me. I'll never own one, but I'm glad they do these things. Bronco made Jeep get out of their 33" tire comfort zone.

Indeed, they are heavy. I can't explain why, but I can assume it may have something to do with heavy-duty construction. While mine show quite a bit of 'chunking', they have endured a harsh life and spent a lot of time at 10 PSI with not even a slow leak. I can't say that for most of the...

If you don't want to mount a 12.5" wide tire on a 7.5" wheel, there are two really good options for a 11.5" wide tire: For A/T: https://www.toyotires.com/product/open-country-at3 For M/T: https://www.nittotire.com/light-truck-tires/trail-grappler-mud-terrain-light-truck-tire/ I've got 45k...
