Agree, that drain plug location is a little silly. I bought a Fumoto valve that I just pop a clear tube onto when I drain the oil so I have remedied that issue. I thought about the oil filter relocation, but I make it a point to rotate my tires every time I change the oil so I’m going to have...

Over the crossmember/rack, below the oil filter. Whatever oil does not get soaked into the pad drains down the hanging pad and into the drain pan.

I’m not sure what size I am using, I think they’re about 18 to 24 in.²

Something to consider next time you do an lof: I drape a large puppy pad over the rack, and just let all of that oil run right down into my drain pan. After the filter is on, I spray a little brake cleaner around the housing to clear off any residual, then slide the pad out and toss it.

Wow, that will be a pleasant surprise if those are the right clamps at that price! I hope they are!

I find that when my wife is in the truck I generally use the hand shifter. Before I bought the Challenger she didn’t mind the paddle shifters, but she almost always comments now that the truck’s paddles are louder than the Challenger’s

HHP’s quote to you doesn’t sound bad, I bought the unlocked PCM from DS because I wanted my stock as a backup. While I did not order a tcm tune, I can tell you shifting is different and improved over stock. Having said that, I almost never let the auto do all the work. I just enjoy the feel and...

Glad you finally got the ride where you want it. Regarding the Diablo, are you talking Pulsar type, or just anything? After the pulsar did not work on my GT, I did get an i3 which has worked great.

I got the same email, but you’re right, the site says not available until March of this year. Even if I follow the link in the email it still gives me the same answer

Heat haze

Have to disagree with number 5, as my 2002 Pathfinder had a heat exchanger running through the oil filter housing.
