And they spent how many years and how much money to get this truck on the road? Maybe things will be sorted by the time the 22s come out. Not buying one until then.
Nice set up, Phil. 10 years ago I had the privilege to be behind a Suburban towing a tandem axle fiberglass/wood dual engine cabin cruiser accelerating on a downhill entrance ramp to I20 at Broad River Road. Things went haywire as he leveled out at 70mph. The tow started to sway, lifted the Sub...
IC engines make torque. Horses make horsepower. HP=Torque times RPM then divide by 5252, A short stroke engine can rev higher and therefore equate to a higher HP rating. Buying on HP is is analogous to "mine is bigger than yours". Do the math. Two engines develop 200 flb. One at 3K and one at...
Are the batteries Iron Phosphate or Ion type? I converted the 04 Guzzi and 07 Benelli to the Shorai LiFePo for safety reasons and use the dedicated balance charger.
Many jurisdictions have laws that forbid towing with the gas on. I do not nor ever have. Every frost heave is an earthquake acting on every component. But you knew that, right?
Get cozy with the Dog Doc. Their medical supplies ship with disposable freezer packs. Use them to fill any and all spaces left over after loading and a towel or blanket space filler also helps. Engel products are the best 12v units, IMO.
I started out in the USAF as a 2 way Radio Electronics Technician in 1976. Component level repairs. That would be a Tech with an "H" and your assessment of modern tech ability mirrors my experiences as well. YouTube can fix anything.
Bel-Ray makes salt water proof grease that lubes most excellently, lasts forever and can be used sparingly. Control levers' pivot bolts on all of the motorcycles here love it.
I feel your pain. I taught MSF courses for twelve years and witnessed the decline of coordinated motor skills and general mechanical aptitude for male and female students. The women have always been the most difficult to teach anything to for a host of behavioral reasons. Equality is horse poop...
One would expect a company with FCA resources would have a stock pile of warranty replacements on hand just for such occurrences. Say, .01% of units built. After all, as we have always known, things happen and mistakes made. Any sane business modeler would have this in the plan. And I do not buy...
How many of us have been offered GAP insurance at the time of purchase? Dealers are required to offer it. If you crash and total the vehicle, it covers the depreciation. A co worker drove off the lot with a new car and some one turned left and totaled the 2 hour old car. They lost 5K in the...
The presenter at the Dealer Orientation class told us "selling vehicles is a license to print money". Those doc fees can be avoided by taking the papers to the DMV yourself. The in house paper trail takes 5 minutes, tops. Direct experience in SC.
FCA/Jeep spends how long and what amount of money designing the JT only to have these types of problems? So happy I did not get the first year edition. Perhaps all will be sorted by 2525 if man is still alive.
Some of us in society actually read owner manuals, operating instructions and the like before we ever turn the key or press the "go" button. Always have the information before operation. We do not go forth blindly and find it incomprehensible that others do. I have yet to buy a Gladiator but I...
I see the ad copy now. "Step on up Folks and check out the new RG approved beadlock/recovery wheel device. It Keeps the tire on the rim while utilizing an outer section that allows for recovery rope use. Two round turns and low gear is all you need."
There could also be a device that fits the...
