I tried many, many channels on satellite radio. The only channel I really liked was "Siriusly Sinatra". I even liked the guest DJs they would have on which included Nanci Sinatra. They didn't just talk smack. Many of them personally knew the late artists they played and would share very good...

Never been to Iowa, but I expect there aren't many narrow mountain passes. :)

Just did some reading and it apparently cell towers sometimes interfere with satellite radio. Maybe that's what was going on.

Wait, what? There are no "transmitter towers" for satellite radio. The satellite is the transmitter. That's why you lose the signal when you go into a tunnel, drive between steep mountains or get blocked by any large, impenetrable object.

Thankfully, my one year trial expired on its own. They called pretty regularly trying to get me to sign up. The price got down to $3.00 a month. They were pretty surprised when I still wasn't interested. I listen to music and I like high fidelity. Satellite radio fidelity sucks. (It used to be...

That was the policy for a short while after some kind of litigation. The last few times I did it, I simply exchanged my driver's license for the scanner, plugged it in and scanned myself. I was free to reset anything I wanted. Although, I visit my local O'Reilly so often the staff knows me...

But isn't that the code the computer throws when the gas cap isn't tight? I'm not aware of a code which specifically says, "Loose Gas Cap".

My money is also on the gas cap being loose. I've owned two XJs with the 4.0. I bought the first XJ, a 1997 model, new. I recall the Check Engine Light coming only a few times; once was when the oil pressure sensor went out. My second XJ was a 2000 model. Oh, good golly, if the Check Engine...

Thanks. I was hoping I could do 35s. No, I wouldn't even consider 37s on the factory wheels.

The problem with mileage enhancers is that you really WANT them to work. :)

I also have a Max Tow and would like larger tires. Are the Rubicon wheels any bigger than factory, Max Tow wheels? I actually like my factory wheels, but I'm not sure if I can put bigger tires on them.

Running 100% gasoline will often provide slightly better fuel economy, but it's more expensive. If greater range is your objective, cool. But it likely won't save you any money.

Yes, multiple times. It took a little while, but I didn't think it was a big deal. I simply checked a block next to any area where my vehicle had a problem. Based on your logic, no survey of any kind has any validity whatsoever.

If people are more likely to respond if they have something to complain about, how do you explain Honda, Toyota and Subaru getting very positive responses?

Clearly you are biased against your own truck.

It's very strange that your parents never got an auto survey. Sure, human psychology would play a role for a question like, "Would you buy this vehicle again?". But most of the survey is simply checking a box for problems with engine, transmission, electrical system, steering, etc. If thousands...

The bias is against Consumer Reports. Here are a few facts: - Consumer Reports ratings are based mostly on actual owner experiences. Every year they send a survey to subscribers about the vehicles they own. I was a subscriber for many years and every year I received a survey, completed it and...

Where are these "invoices" available? Once upon a time I could order all that information from Consumer Reports, but those are no longer available. I still stand by my statement that a dealer can make "invoice" anything they want it to be. There's no law preventing them from doing it.

"Invoice" is whatever a dealer wants it to be. A dealer could sell you a truck at MSRP and claim they sold it to you at Invoice. "See, here's the factory invoice and there's the price." Much of the time a dealer will use dealer cost as invoice price. Just be aware that isn't always the case.

I also use a pressure wash at my local, coin operated car wash. Then I use Chadwick's.
