What has changed to warrant new oil weight recommendations? I doubt it has anything to do with engine longevity. I would not run T6. The weights are too far off. I would run it in a sterndrive mercruiser though :)

You can certainly use desiel oil of the right weight. It contains a lot off additives that have been removed from gasoline oils. People running jeep 4.0l engines would often use T5 10w30. Any flat tappet i would use rotella including all small engines. The hemi was designed to use 5w30 or...

I had some chatter on start up with the oem oil and after my first change with M1 and mopar filter. Third change I used Rotella 5w-20 gas truck oil and a wix filter. Much better. 3 months and no chatter even at below freezing temps.

OK, I'll come over and watch. Every flake now... any flakes remain you fail. Even under the wipers or you get a ticket.

That's crazy. I do not endorse that.

If you are only taking 5-10 minutes to remove snow from your vehicle you are not removing every flake. This is illegal. Please turn yourself in to the nearest form of law enforcement. Make sure you are wearing a mask while driving by yourself as well.

I use a broom as well without touching the surface. I'm not leaving 10" on there for Christ sake. I get the bulk off. 1"-3" of powder on there will not hurt or blind anybody. Using a long broom will not clean off everything. So I guess I care about people about the same as you.

Half my family lives in NH. Nope. Never a ticket since 1942. I'm not saying don't remove snow. But the last 6" of powder in the center of your roof will not ticket you. Ice is a hazard which I clearly stated previously and have been hit. I was just in a white out 2 weeks ago near Mt...

. So you are out there after a snow fall, on a ladder (#1 form of injury), removing snow from the entire roof down to the millimeter? No way. You will not get a ticket for leaving an inch or 3 of snow on your roof. That is ridiculous.

I live in NY. NO ONE complies with that ill conceived Karen law. No one I have ever met has been fined for such a thing. I will not clean snow off if it's 3 inches or under. The hazard is ice coming in sheets from tractor trailers and smashing windshields. Powder snow is a non issue. And yes...

Stick to removing snow from windows only if possible. If there was a large snowfall try to move the snow without touch any painted surfaces or try a leaf blower. Any snow removal tool will scratch the paint, sometimes pretty badly.

Same spot, just on vertical surface so gravity works in my favor or have to lens cover shaped in such a way that it does the same thing. Software compensates for lens shape. Can't do crap about frost or road grime. Although I've never had enough grime on there even in winter for it to be an issue.

I love how they designed the back up camera to be the lowest point hanging off the upper tailgate lip. Every time the truck is wet I loose visibility.

Just got truck back from dealership. They replaced the fuel pressure sensor. Part # 52029939AC. They also replaced the filler neck based on my complaint about the gas pump shutting off. TSB RRT 20-092. New part number is 52029841AG. Filled up on the way home and it was delightful. The...

Light just popped on yesterday. P0441- Evap. Anybody else have this? What was the resolution? I've always had a hard time not getting the gas pump to automatically turn off when the tank isn't full. Some pumps work better than others, but they all shut off before the tank is full- usually...
