Made in China...hard pass.

And you wonder why the term "stealership" is so popular.

Agree with beancounters....(I'm a retired one) We have the same issue as the military only our lives generally don't depend on the fact that parts are sourced from the cheapest vendor.

Nice write-up.......I'll never understand why the folks that go to the trouble of developing these aftermarket trans pans don't take the next step and incorporate a calibrated dipstick. I had a GMC Canyon and a guy figured this out and must have sold over 1,000. Even Chevy and GMC dealerships...

That's what I have done for the past 50 or so years. Change it at 500 and 2500 with conventional. At 5,000, and every 5,000 thereafter, synthetic. Obviously, there was no synthetic 50 years ago. I ran Castrol 20-50 in everything and never have a vehicle that burned more than 1/2 qt between...

I usually keep the wheel bumped up against the detent. As others have said full up at night should have a warning to wear a welders mask, never use it. My issue is the reflection off the side window. I live in the Styx and street lights are few and far between. When I make a left to turn onto my...

I was OK with everything but the trans temp. All my other vehicles like the trans around 160 or so. Used to it now that I know that's what the trans is designed to run at.

With the factory supplied battery, it was usually in the 13.6 - 14.2 area. After I replaced it with an AGM, it's all over the place; it could be 14.2 at idle and 12.8 on the highway. I've got the Etorque. Is there a setting I can change so the system recognizes that an AGM battery is installed...

You forgot the most important option.....BACON

What happened was that she was stopped at a stop sign, I saw her there. Then for some reason, tried to get across the intersection. I was in a line of vehicles that had the right of way going 20-30 mph and I WASN'T EVEN THE FIRST ONE....SEVERAL IN FRONT OF ME AND SEVERAL BEHIND!!!

Good thing you had the alignment checked. How much wear on your tires are there?

So I finally got the insurance situation squared away and the truck is in the body shop. Estimate came to $4,763.89. As the pictures show, she hit me right in front of the rear wheel, which ripped off the entire front of the Impala. It drove fine, but the steering wheel was very slightly out of...

Got them on mine. Not the first time I've had them. Just about anything is better than the stock Bridgestones. I live in an area where it frequently rains and those stock tires seem to slip with the least amount of moisture on the road.

As a certified old guy, I went further than that as I have with every new vehicle I've purchased. Changed oil immediately after leaving the dealership with conventional. Changed again at 1000 & 2,500 miles. Went to synthetic with 5,000 mile changes after that. During the first 500 miles I...

I bet those were on a demo truck and were pulled off so the demo could be sold with new tires. The ad doesn't seem to specify new tires although one would assume they would be. Check your invoice.

Yes. Before they even mounted the tires.

I've been around awhile and have never seen new tires look like that. Back in the day, they used to wrap new tires in heavy paper to keep the UV off of them. I replaced my POS Bridgestones with the same tire and they look nothing like that. Bought mine at Discount Tire.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

This is the reason I am asking, although my amounts are much less. 3 years ago when I bought the RAM, I thought of trading in a 2016 GMC Canyon, again perfect condition. The first dealership I went to offered me a ridiculously low offer. The reason was that Carfax showed it was in an accident...

HI Guys, Well I got run into yesterday on the way home. Other party is at fault as she ran a stop sign. Have witnesses and she fessed up to the cops so there is no question there. She was actually stopped when I first saw her but then she just started to cross as I was crossing. No traffic...
