It's always "record profits"

The way they worded it, makes it sound like they're offering a replacement of the same clutch assembly (I hope I'm wrong). They also make it sound like they easily reimbursed people who didn't want to wait to make their trucks safe. Which is a bunch of HS.

For sure, I hear you: in stop and go, 3.73 would be better than 3.21, which is the opposite of what the quoted post was saying. My main point at least. The shorter gearing would also be better on average for speeds lower than when you're revving out in the highest gear (more choices to hit an...

Taller gearing hurts city mpg.

I'd put a small 2 stroke Screaming Jimmy in mine in a heartbeat if I could. That would be a hoot rowing through the gears. I love diesels but don't love having to keep additives on-hand constantly, and don't love downtime & dealing with Joe Service-manager.

I stopped going to the auto washes (even with hard top) just because of all the water spots that show up by the time I get home. I'm not uppity on most things, but water spots are a pet peeve of mine. I end up just hand washing and drying at home, and with the glass coat it really only takes a...

Just want to make sure, it's this part number correct? I read through the other thread but wasn't positive.

Yeah fair point, I'm already braced for disappointment in most new cars. Not that there won't be a hybrid + manual specifically (I don't want the hybrid nor turbo either). I'm prepared to keep old cars/trucks if needed to get my naturally aspirated ICE and manual transmission.

It looks nice enough but an auto with the hybrid turbo is a pass.

That's awesome, got a taste of the mountains when I was in TN but can't wait to get down there and find some good spots off the beaten path.

Made a trip last year from IA to Knoxville TN. So I think 6, and 7 when I move to GA next month.

Thanks, not sure how that happens

There is a reason. Simplicity and fewer failure modes. Doesn't depend on electronics or software to function. We all know it's coming down the pike - if not by consumer demand, it will be forced on people.

Life is way simpler (and cheaper) if you stick with 33's or 35's in my opinion. Or just run the stock 32s for a while, and see if you even find a need to go bigger at all. And congrats btw

10/21 build - so far so good, but will be taking it out at some point after I finish moving this fall

Exactly

We should be logical and not emotional on this. Regarding the original forest fire point, it's definitely easier to put out a gas fire than a Li Ion battery fire. I am working in this exact space in manufacturing (not in cell phones or small devices), and mitigation plans are more around...

I'm curious what the difference would be if you could put the new mesh on the old grille (or modify the mesh on the old grille to open it up a little more). Just opening up that mesh within the open slots to be more like the new grille seems like it would help.

Fair enough - just how I interpreted the Caps lock (as yelling).

Actually, for a manual, I'd stall the engine first. I don't disagree with pulling fuses or educating in general. No need to talk down to people either.
