I followed the recommended break in procedure and had the oil changed at 5k intervals. I’m not sure where this one went wrong and you wouldn’t think you’d have to be overly cautious with it but I will be keeping a closer eye on it with the break in and initial oil changes which I will be doing...
Yup. New to the process. Your sample data will be very helpful in seeing how things work.
My “old” engine is just under 15k right now but has a lot of metal in the pan that are causing the actuators to malfunction. I don’t know if they’ll try to see what caused that but I would like to know for...
One thing I will look into is the break in period on the new engine. The recommendation is first oil change at 5k miles which had me a little concerned because in the past we would make the first change somewhere between 500 and 1000 miles. I chalked up the change to the newer engine technology...
So today I got this from my service rep
“Alrighty - so not the greatest news. But we checked the oil and there was a lot of metal in the pan, which means that it has contaminated the system. This is causing the actuators to not properly function, and trigger the check engine light. At this...

I put my 2023 with 15k on it in the shop on Wednesday for the CEL. Today the service rep relayed the message from the tech:
“Tech says that one of the codes is related to the oil change being due, but there is another one that could potentially be for the phaser. Tech is...
Did you use the torch with the tire on or did you take it off? I thought about heating it up when I was working on it but didn’t want to melt the rubber
Best price I found for a new one was $550 + tax and shipping.
$180 saved me about $420 or more.
I told the wheel guy next time I trash a wheel he's got my business.
He fixes rash too but I would just re-rash it anyway so never mind. 😂
I got the wheel fixed that I trashed on John Bull trail a few weeks ago.
Bent the wheel and popped the bead
Before
I tried to straighten it with a bottle jack but it cracked on me so o found a local guy to straighten it and weld it for $180
I picked it up today and will install it when I get...
Not a lunker but a nice little bluegill nonetheless. Hooked by Grampa the fishing king (who seems to be the only one that can figure out how to hook one) and handed off to the grandkids to reel in.
This was last Saturday but it took me some time to chop and publish the video.
Two of us wheeled John Bull and Holcomb Creek BOH trails in BIg Bear.
Something went wrong with my JB video and the memory card was empty so I only have the HC video to post.
This was the first time on both of these...
Definitely not that. 🤪
I save that for the wife.
Lately the ducks have been hanging out in the glove box until I can find a Ducky Jeeper to unload them on.
